Handling Large BIM Projects
How to handle a large BIM Project:
The BIM approach helps you improve project delivery and better manage design information across the entire project lifecycle using.
By providing design virtualization and digital collaboration, your teams will benefit from improved design coordination and analysis.
1.1 Building Design and Analysis
BIM facilitates design visualization to examine design substitutes and manage data effectively throughout the project lifecycle. Your teams will benefit from improved building systems coordination and analysis, which will result in the delivery of world-class buildings.
Your large building projects will benefit from design and analysis that enables spatial coordination between engineering systems, and continues with analytical modeling that leverages engineering data to simulate a design’s performance.
1.2 Authoring building project specifications
Write, manage and publish your project specification by moving beyond word processing to specifications modeling. Import existing documents from project participants to get a consolidated view of the complete project spec. Use structured templates to ensure compliance to corporate styles.
1.3 Capturing site and building conditions
Document existing site features and building structures using point clouds and digital photography. Visualization enables you to better comprehend the impact of existent conditions over your design.
Use the site and building data in your work to derive inspiration for innovative designs
1.4 Creating building design deliverables
Ensure drawings are up to date and accurately represent your design by publishing design model views. Use hyperlinks in models and drawing to navigate the design.
BIM projects link specifications, engineering calculations, and equipment documentation to models and drawings to support building operations.
1.5 Managing building design data
Use preconfigured data templates or customize the data structure to meet your project requirements. Leverage the data during design for analysis. Share the design data to optimize construction delivery. Capture asset data during design and construction for use in facility operations.
1.6 Performing multi-discipline building design and analysis
You can work in a typical design environment for better coordination of your design with others on the project.
Use integrated information models and analysis to engineer and visualize your design. Size systems, evaluate options, and predict asset performance.
2. Procedure and Modeling of BIM
The 10 steps are as follows:
- Understanding BIM – Designating few people to learn more about how BIM will affect the working of your team
- Communicating the change to your people
- Accounting for software and hardware needs
- Developing a change management plan.
- Starting a pilot program, and train the pilot team.
- Documenting preferred processes.
- Cultivating BIM champions
- Training and transitioning other teams.
- Integrating with other models.
- Expanding and innovating with BIM.
3. BIM Management
- BIM can create a universal style between different parties and system divisions in a project and make them an amalgamated team.
- The procedure of BIM strongly matches with integrated project delivery systems.
- BIM consolidates various disciplines by efficient communication, inspection of project systems for constructability, evaluation of project costs and time using quantity lift-offs, portrays a larger picture of projects using visualization and constitutes cooperative teams.
The BIM role as a coordinator of project systems is quite identical to the duties of a project manager.
