#BIMForumED

Unsatisfactory experience : oRequiring BIM without defining why or how their BIM

deliverables

oResults unsure why they are doing BIM.

Best chance at successoBusiness BIM Uses - Business reasons to use BIM

oNot a one time savings but the ANNUALIZED savings

oContracting for the BIM deliverables you can use

Uncover most common organizational “Pain Points”

A pain point

o is a problem, real or perceived.

o creates opportunities for themselves by creating

solutions.

o Solutions create value for everyone.

YES_The As-Built Model (.nwd) is submitted to MPA by

the Contractor. The As-Built Model is typically an

Autodesk® Navisworks® file that includes shop models

and drawing information from trades and fabricators

with detail of the as-built conditions. This model may

also include laser scan data. It is used as a detailed

reference document of all as-built conditions, but is not

the basis of FM.

DELIVERABLES

Dictating platform-

specific BIM

deliverables

Reviewed Fifteen (15)Standards

#BIMForumED

Pros oHealthier competition – no software requirements to limit the set of bidders

o The team members work with their own software platforms

oDo not use unfamiliar software

oOr pay a third party to produce the BIMs.


Dictating platform-

specific BIM

deliverables

ConsOwners may have

oLess control of the final software selection

oRisk receiving a less desirable platform.

oSupport multiple software platforms

oDifficultly hiring experienced staff in the multiple platforms

oA platform not compatible downstream applications.

#BIMForumED

Record vs As-Built



Record Model

deliverables

“Record” should be reserved for models being provided by the designers of record.

“As-built” is associated with contractor provided as-installed building models.

#BIMForumED

Wide range Record BIM deliverables

oStrategiesoArch/Struct CD BIMs with Contractor MEPF modelsoDesign intent models to incorporate as-constructed conditions oDesign record models use As-built model elements with

product data

OWNER Example : “Design Intent model” remains current with all approved bulletins for overall scope. It is NOT expected that product specific information will be added to this model.”

oTerminology – mix and matching = confusingoAs-built RecordoRecord As-builtoDesign As-builtoContractor RecordoContractor Record As-built



Record Model

deliverables

#BIMForumED

ContractorsAs-Built Deliverables

oMost consistent owner BIM requirement.

oNative common deliverable file formats.

oSome cases IFC and Navisworks files.

oHybrid – mix of BIM/3D CAD/2D CAD

oFederated Models- A trend to merge into a single deliverable o limits the number of BIMs the owner ultimately stores,

manages and updates



Record Model

deliverables

#BIMForumED

Design Teams Deliverable Record BIMs



Record Model

deliverables

PROS- Provides “record” models of changes

recorded by the Design Team- More accurate starting point for

renovations- Better investment than 2D record drawing

from Contactor redlines- Reuse of Contractor models to capture

undocumented changes

CONS- Perceived risk will come with a price tag- Hard to identify level of effort for each

project- No industry-wide best

practice/guidelines/standards available

#BIMForumED

#BIMForumED

Record modeling

oMEANS… contains the same content and level of development as the Design Intent BIMs for Construction Documents.

oDoes NOT Mean…. to contain all the construction details in the trade models.


#BIMForumED

Owner example “Rules of thumb”

Design Intent Model updated when Contractor Models are either :

A) Location of element* deviates o 6” or more in any space

o 12” or more in any concealed spaces, mechanical spaces for MEP & other building systems.

o 12” or more by any slab openings, steel members greater than 10” in depth and other major structural elements.

B) Equipment* or system component* has been o Replaced by an owner-approved alternate or

o Added during the construction phase of the project.

*Vague= $$..…must define to what Equipment/system/component
