PROGRAM:

Building digital models to assist in design, documentation, and visualization is a well-established workflow for many architects. Likewise, contractors have developed processes around BIM (Building Information Modeling) that provide high-quality coordination in the field. By developing a more collaborative project environment between design and construction teams working in BIM, design intent can be verified and systems can be reviewed in context prior to field installation. These early interactions can help to ensure that the completed project meets the needs of the building occupants and provides insights into ways to improve the end user’s well-being. The session will examine model coordination techniques, tools available with current and future technology, and communication platforms that utilize model data. With backgrounds in architecture prior to taking on roles with a general contractor, the presenters have a unique insight into the ways in which we can utilize these collaborative processes to improve industry workflows.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Participants will identify the role of BIM coordination in ensuring design intent is met for the building to fulfill the needs of the end user.
• Participants will analyze opportunities to create a more collaborative project environment that improves communication between design and construction teams on items such as design verification and code compliance that impact the well-being of building occupants.
• Participants will evaluate BIM goals that can be set for various phases of a project, including logistics and safety planning, constructability reviews, engineering analysis, coordination, and digital fabrication.
• Participants will discover uses of digital models in the field for verification, inspection, and communication with all project stakeholders, including design team, owner, general contractor, and subcontractors, that can help projects be constructed with efficiency to improve the built environment.
