This document discusses building information modeling (BIM) and its benefits for project management. It begins with an agenda for the presentation. It then discusses what BIM is, how it can improve project delivery across the lifecycle from planning to operations. Key benefits include reduced errors and rework, improved collaboration and communication, better cost control and safety. The presentation emphasizes that BIM does not change fundamental project management principles, but rather provides new tools and efficiencies while information is managed as a key deliverable. It concludes by discussing next steps such as integration with processes, standards, training and establishing information exchange platforms.
This document summarizes the key findings from interviews with engineers in Sweden regarding their experiences using Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction project management. Some of the main points found are:
1) BIM allows for easier collaboration between engineers from different disciplines by facilitating simultaneous work and data sharing in a single model.
2) Meetings using the 3D BIM model alone have replaced printed drawings, enabling better visualization and active participation from all parties.
3) Changes made in the BIM model are automatically updated in all views and plans, reducing errors and allowing engineers to focus on more significant issues earlier in the design process.
4) The role of the project manager is shifting to focus more
This document describes a new process for developing advanced design techniques that integrate BIM with post-tensioned concrete structure design. Traditionally, these design fields were separate, but linking finite element software with 3D modeling gives engineers new tools. The author's company developed a program linking input data, structural analysis software, and BIM to allow automated, bidirectional data transfer. This allows iterative design changes to update all programs instantly. The new process improves design efficiency, reduces errors, and provides more usable information for construction. Customers benefit from faster design, accurate information sharing, and improved visualization of designs and construction sequencing.
BIM for Facility Managers - Hani Afendi - Facilities Show, 19 June 2014Protectionandmanagement
Facilities Managers need to understand Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes and the full potential that its holds for delivering value and cost savings over a building's lifetime. To date BIM has largely evolved from the construction and architectural design side of the built environment. This presentation is ideal for Facilities Managers who want to take the next step to find out what impact it will have on them.
The document discusses Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its various dimensions ranging from 3D to 7D modeling. It provides details on the services, software, advantages and disadvantages of each dimension. The 3D model refers to visualization and clash detection. 4D adds a time component for construction planning and scheduling. 5D enables cost estimation and quantity take-off. 6D performs energy consumption analysis during design and operation. 7D covers facility management. The document is a group project report submitted by students for their Construction Supply Chain Management course that analyzes how each BIM dimension benefits supply chain management.
BIM and project management techniques can help address challenges in the AEC industry like complex projects, tight budgets and deadlines, and information overload. BIM involves creating an intelligent 3D model of a building virtually before physical construction. This model contains embedded information about the building's design, construction schedule, costs, and more. Using BIM and lean project management principles can improve collaboration, reduce waste, and help deliver projects on time and on budget by identifying issues early. Key benefits include improved constructability, increased understanding of design solutions for owners, and more effective planning of construction phasing and logistics.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Lessons at University of Hull's Student ...Sewell Construction
Partners shared BIM lessons learned to date on the University of Hull's £30 million student accommodation complex.
The project will see six new accommodation blocks, housing 560 students, open in 2016.
A new protocol for Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been followed from the outset of the project, which saw developers Sewell Construction start on site in June.
BIM already sees collaboration and information shared between engineers, clients, architects and contractors in a 3D format and is widely used within the construction industry, however, the Government will mandate BIM Level 2 for all centrally-procured government contracts from April 2016.
Using these new guidelines on the university site means designs and briefs for the project have been more thorough than ever before, providing further cost and quality assurance for the university.
It also includes looking at the whole life of the building and ensuring facilities management plans are in place from the start, reducing variance in design.
Estates staff from the University of Hull along with project partners from Sewell Construction, ARUP, SES, GSS Architecture and Planon have shared their findings of a pragmatic approach to BIM Level 2 to date with University estates teams from across the Yorkshire region, in a bespoke event at the Hull campus.

IRJET- Building Information Modeling in AEC Industry with its Implementation ...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a case study on implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) on a pilot construction project. BIM was used to design, analyze, and plan the project from the initial CAD file. Floor plans were created for three levels, as well as a site plan, elevations, and 3D renderings. Schedules were generated for doors, windows, rooms, wall materials, and beams. Solar studies and a construction schedule Gantt chart were also produced. The results demonstrate how BIM enhances design, scheduling, and cost estimating over traditional methods.
This document provides guidance on developing a BIM Project Execution Plan with 4 key steps: 1) Identifying BIM uses during project phases, 2) Designing the BIM execution process with process maps, 3) Defining information exchanges to facilitate sharing, and 4) Developing infrastructure like contracts and technology. The plan helps integrate BIM into the project delivery process and provides advantages like increased design quality, prefabrication, and facility management. It should be developed early and updated regularly with stakeholder input to clearly define goals, responsibilities, and resource needs for successful BIM implementation.
The Role of BIM in Modern Construction ProjectsTawwabKhan4
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern construction, the integration of technology has become paramount for success. One such technological advancement that has revolutionised the industry is Building Information Modelling, commonly known as BIM. With its digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings, BIM offers a transformative approach to construction projects.
In this article, we take a look at the significance of BIM, exploring its importance and the multiple levels or stages it encompasses. We will also uncover the role of precision engineering in constructing stronger and more sophisticated buildings.
Understanding the Power of BIM: A Digital Revolution in Construction
At its core, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of a building’s physical and functional attributes. It encompasses a wide range of information, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical details, all stored in a centralised database. This comprehensive model serves as a shared knowledge resource for all stakeholders involved in a construction project.
BIM is a game-changer in the construction industry due to its ability to enhance collaboration, improve communication, and streamline workflows.

THE SYNERGY BETWEEN VALUE ENGINEERING AND SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUTIONAnkit Singhai
This document discusses the synergy between value engineering and sustainable construction. It defines value engineering and sustainable construction, explaining that value engineering takes a life cycle cost approach to optimize function, quality, and cost in a project. Applying value engineering principles like functional analysis and alternative generation can help make construction projects more sustainable by reducing costs, waste, and environmental impacts over the full life cycle. The document outlines the value engineering job plan process and how applying it at early design phases can significantly improve sustainability and value in construction projects.
All you need to know about Construction FormworkAnkit Singhai
Formwork is temporary structure used to support and contain wet concrete until it hardens. It molds the concrete into the desired shape and controls its position. Formwork materials include lumber, plywood, steel, and plastics. Proper formwork design can significantly reduce construction costs. Formwork accounts for a large portion of the total cost of a concrete structure.
The document provides details of the proposed renovation and expansion project of the Newmark Civil Engineering Lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The project aims to add 80,000 square feet of new state-of-the-art classroom, lab, office and collaboration spaces. Key elements included in the design are an atrium, stairs and walkways to connect spaces, offices, classrooms, a student collaboration area and coffee shop. The project targets LEED Platinum certification and is scheduled to be completed over 512 days with a total budget of $50 million.
This document discusses how 4D BIM software like VICO Production Controller can be used to create 4D schedules and animations that integrate key project data to facilitate more accurate project planning and management. It describes how 4D BIM can be used to create baseline, actual, and forecast schedules that take real-world factors like location-based productivity into account. The document also discusses how 4D BIM is gaining popularity due to its benefits for tasks like dispute resolution and how it can enhance construction safety by enabling better visibility into the project timeline and spatial coordination of components.
Laser scanning uses lasers to measure distances to surfaces and capture three-dimensional data that can be converted into point clouds and used with BIM modeling software. It provides accurate as-built representations of structures and has applications in facility management, renovation and restoration planning, scheduling, cost estimation, and ensuring code compliance. While laser scanning captures detailed data quickly, converting point clouds into BIM models remains a challenge requiring both automated processing and manual work. Standards for exchanging laser scanning and BIM data could help combine these technologies.
3 d and 4d modeling for design and constructionAnkit Singhai
This document discusses how 3D and 4D modeling can improve design and construction projects. It provides examples of two projects, a medical center and pharmaceutical plant, that successfully used 3D modeling. Key benefits included eliminating field interferences, reducing requests for information and change orders, and decreasing costs and completion time. The document outlines processes for 3D design coordination and 4D construction coordination. It also discusses common causes of clashes in building information models, such as design uncertainty, complexity, and errors. Overall, the document advocates the use of 3D and 4D modeling with lean construction principles to improve planning, minimize waste, and deliver higher quality projects.
The document discusses two case studies that utilized integrated project delivery (IPD) and virtual design and construction (VDC) methods:
1) The Stutter Medical Centre Castro Valley project in California was a $320 million hospital project delivered using IPD. The IPD approach reduced structural design time from 15 to 8 months and resulted in better design quality and lower overall costs compared to traditional methods.
2) A museum project in Europe faced many challenges due to its complex design and international team. Adopting VDC improved communication, facility performance, safety, and quality. A cloud-based model management system effectively organized large amounts of data.
The document advocates establishing quantitative objectives and metrics in planning to systematically track
This document discusses the use of Level of Development (LOD) and Level of Detail (LOD) in Building Information Modeling (BIM) to measure design progress. It describes how defining multiple LOD levels from 100 to 500 and tracking model progression in a table can enable progress measurement. Data on time spent and model outputs at each LOD can then be analyzed using techniques like efficiency ratios to identify areas for improved productivity. Responsibility matrices and regression analysis can further enhance progress tracking and inform future projects.
Prefabrication for improving Sustainability and Economics of Civil Engineerin...Ankit Singhai
The document discusses prefabrication in construction. It defines prefabrication as building components manufactured offsite and transported for assembly. It discusses the history of prefabrication dating back to ancient Rome and its use addressing housing shortages. Modern prefabrication benefits from technology like CAD, CAM, and BIM. Case studies on the Fort Sam Houston medical facility and Stack apartment building show how prefabrication improved schedule and quality. The conclusion is that prefabrication has potential to improve the economy, sustainability, and schedules while addressing issues like labor shortages.

Understanding Cybersecurity Breaches: Causes, Consequences, and PreventionBert Blevins
Cybersecurity breaches are a growing threat in today’s interconnected digital landscape, affecting individuals, businesses, and governments alike. These breaches compromise sensitive information and erode trust in online services and systems. Understanding the causes, consequences, and prevention strategies of cybersecurity breaches is crucial to protect against these pervasive risks.
Cybersecurity breaches refer to unauthorized access, manipulation, or destruction of digital information or systems. They can occur through various means such as malware, phishing attacks, insider threats, and vulnerabilities in software or hardware. Once a breach happens, cybercriminals can exploit the compromised data for financial gain, espionage, or sabotage. Causes of breaches include software and hardware vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, insider threats, weak passwords, and a lack of security awareness.
The consequences of cybersecurity breaches are severe. Financial loss is a significant impact, as organizations face theft of funds, legal fees, and repair costs. Breaches also damage reputations, leading to a loss of trust among customers, partners, and stakeholders. Regulatory penalties are another consequence, with hefty fines imposed for non-compliance with data protection regulations. Intellectual property theft undermines innovation and competitiveness, while disruptions of critical services like healthcare and utilities impact public safety and well-being.

Bim and integrated design
1. BIM is one of the most promising development in the field of architecture, engineering and construction
- allows better analysis and control
- accommodates functions needed to model lifecycle of building
- providing basis for new design
and construction capabilities
- facilitates harmony between
various players in a project
- all this leads to better quality and
reduced time of construction
Various contractual models:-
1. Design-Bid-Build – difficult to
use BIM
2. CM at Risk – allows for early
improvement if BIM is used
3. Design Build – BIM use can benefit a lot as single firm is responsible for whole project
4. Integrated Project Delivery – most potential for BIM
a. Uses BIM
b. Effective collaboration among different players in a project
c. Different trades integrate with design team from early stages till project completion
d. improved cost, energy, functionality, esthetics and constructability of the project
e. Reduced time and cost
BIM Model Creation Tools
- focuses more on data than the design, how data can be used in different ways
- BIM data can be used in different ways depending on the requirement; important as demands
for environment friendly, sustainability and security is increasing which requires open and
reusable infrastructure data
- BIM moves construction industry from paper-based and task automation to task collaboration,
integration and interoperation
- Used to simulate and manipulate reality based models to manage built environment
o based on facts, repeatable and verifiable decision process
o reduces risk and enhances quality of actions and product
2. BIM Parametric Objects:-
- differentials BIM from other 3D tools
- these rules consist of geometric defamations and associated data and rules; geometry is
integrated non-redundantly, and avoids inconsistencies
- Parametric rules for objects automatically modify associated geometries – changes in one part
reflects in other related parts
- Different levels of aggregation can be defined for objects; object feasibility can be analyzed
- Ability to link to or receive, broadcast, or export sets of attributes and data
BIM is an obvious advantage over current AEC Business models
1. Preconstruction benefits to Owner
a. Concept, feasibility and design benefits – approximate project cost and time can be
known in early stages of project
b. Increased building performance and quality – early design alternatives can be
incorporated if design does not fit well to the requirement
c. Improved collaboration using IPD – BIM can be used from beginning of project to
understand project requirements and to extract cost estimates as the design is
developed
2. Design benefits
a. Earlier and more accurate visualization of designs, accurate cost estimates
b. Automatic low level corrections when changes are made to design and generation of
accurate and consistent 2D drawings at any stage of design
c. Earlier collaboration of multiple design disciplines and easy verification of consistency
d. Improvement of energy efficient and sustainability
3. Construction and Fabrication benefits
a. Use of design model as basis for fabricated components; quick reaction to design
change; discovery of design errors and omissions before construction
b. Synchronization between design, planning, procurement and construction
c. Better implementation of lean construction techniques
4. Post construction benefits
a. Improved commissioning and handover of facility information
3. b. Better management and operation of facilities; integration with facility operation and
management systems
Challenges to BIM use
- Collaboration and teaming – effective teams have to be developed, synergy among all trades
and players in the project – use of interoperable softwares based on Industry Foundation
Classes (IFC) or proprietary standards
- Legal changes to documentation ownership and production – who owns the documents and
who pays for them and who is responsible for its accuracy; guidelines are been developed by
various professional groups like AIA and AGC
- Changes in practice and use of information – BIM requires intensive shared building models
during various phases of project – adopting this practice will take time
- Implementation issues – BIM is not just buying a software and training people to use it; effective
use of BIM requires changes in every aspect of a firms business, not just doing same things in a
new way
o Involving top management and creating BIM teams
o Use BIM on small projects and use the knowledge to implement it on all future projects
o Continuous integration of BIM in all areas of firms business
o Learn and grow – use knowledge from previous projects and develop it to use in future
Transcending the BIM Hype:-
- BIM is talked about everywhere, it is considered to have a lot of impact on the future of
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) process.
- BIM/VDC (Building Information Modeling/ Virtual Design & Construction) first immerged in
1990s with a promise of substantial cost and time saving
o Today, companies claim that it’s true as they witness reduced change orders, lesser
conflicts with MEP etc.
o Still, moving BIM from theory to real world has many challenges.
The Technology and Hype Cycle:-
- New technology comes – there are a lot of expectations from it, and these expectations reach a
peak due to frenzy of public and over-enthusiasm for the new technology
- After hype period, there is a trough of disillusionment, when do not have much clue of where
the technology will lead us, but still research continue and we learn more realistic aspects of it.
This is termed as “slope of enlightenment”
- Eventually users understand the practical benefits of technology and lead to its wide acceptance
and adoption, the final phase “plateau of productivity”
4. - BIM has somewhat past the hype phase, and its uses and advantages are widely accepted, the
only thing that is left is its wider use and eventually replacing the current trends in AEC
Results of Surveys that prove the merits of BIM application - 300%-500% return on investment, 82%
companies say BIM increased productivity of the firm.
“Why to implement BIM in a project?” is one of the most important question that has to answered
before implementing BIM in any project. Answering this question sets the path for effective utilization of
this technology. Two examples are discussed here:
- One in which decision to use BIM was taken after creating 2D drawings – due to the complexity
of the project, it was later decided to use BIM. Late decision led to wastage of significant
amount of time.
- Camino Medical Group – BIM was integral part of the project delivery system which proved to
be advantageous leading to significant cost and time saving. Also, after the construction
completed, the BIM model is continuously used by the facility management team making their
task much easier.
BIM model should be created with collaboration between various trades of construction like MEP, HVAC
etc. The contractors who have a significant amount of work in the construction process should closely
integrate with the design team from the beginning. Earlier integration proves beneficial as it all the
necessary level of details that will be required during the construction phase can be implemented in the
model and used effectively at later stages for Lean practices like prefabrication, and also in cost
estimating etc.
Interoperability of the softwares used by architects, engineers and contractors is also a very pivotal
factor in the success of BIM. Lack of interoperability among the softwares used by AEC is one of the
major reason which increase the project cost. As softwares are not compatible with each other, thus,
more time has to invested in making things work (Ex -Sketchup files cannot be imported in
NAVISWORKS). Before starting a project, different AEC should sit together and decide which softwares
they will be using so that issue of lack of interoperability can be taken care of at the beginning only while
is benefit along the line.
Thus, the upshot is that if BIM is not used collaboratively during design phase, the project will only
receive partial benefits from its use.
The traditional compensation and contract structure also needs to be changed:
- Traditionally, architects, engineers and contractors are treated as separate entities
- All work for the same project, but forced to look out for their own business interest
- This should change - A,E & C should be treated together – all participants should have a skin in
the game i.e. share responsibility of risks and problems – and rewarded for success in working
together
- Doing so leads to promoting team spirit among all the players – all work together to solve and
avoid problems as they share the risks and rewards associated with it
Smaal things can have big impact-
5. - More details included in the model, the better
- Details left out may lead to conflicts later
- Even small things which are left out unattended in traditional method have to be included for
success with BIM
Bringing people who ask the question and people who have the answer together- co-creating the model
- Regular meetings
- People with questions, people with solutions and people with knowledge of BIM in one place
- Problem identified, solved and incorporated in BIM model together at the same time and place
Learning and growing
- Learn from past experience, and incorporate the learning in present and future
- Keeping records of all the numbers and results – cost and time saving data; productivity data;
lean and sustainable application data like effects of using BIM for prefabrication
- Measure and record all these data which is obtained by using BIM and compare them with
respect to projects that do not use BIM
Levels of BIM-
1. Visualization – communicate design intent; evaluate alternatives; visualize end product
2. Coordination – bringing different trades together to reduce and avoid conflicts like RFI, change
orders etc.
3. Constructability – models created by different MEP people combined together with design
teams model to find error and points of intersection; use combined model for fabrication level
MEP models
4. Fabrication and Installation – test constructability, determine best materials and methods for
design and construction keeping project budget, schedule and quality in mind; models used to
produce shop drawings, permit drawings, pull material quantities, getting estimates, prefab
decision and produce actual installation drawings
5. Total cost of ownership – takes input from facility managers and end users which is helpful in
ongoing maintenance. Ex: Products tagged with warranty info – this info used by maintenance
team to keep facility running efficiently
What are you adopting when you adopt BIM?
This chapter focuses on the two aspects of BIM in the industry, BIM adoption and BIM implementation.
While BIM adoption has been done by many firms, still they are struggling with BIM implementation.
- Advantages of using BIM are widely acknowledged and many large firms are using BIM, but
social adaption and full understanding of BIM’s impact on the firm and the individuals that make
up the firm is not yet understood fully.
6. - Technology is developed sufficiently, so there is no hurdle in BIM adoption due to technological
or business factors
- Human factor is what responsible for not so fast adoption of BIM
- Many firms are using BIM for visualization and class detection. So, basically the modelling part
of BIM technology is used by them. This is not full use of its capabilities. The information part of
Building Information Modelling is the thing that sets it apart. Information part provides analytics.
o Many firms say they do BIM, but only few firms actually use it for analysis
o So, firms own the software but they do not fully understand the process
- BIM is both a tool and a process
Difference between owning BIM software to owning BIM process
- Adopt, adapt and then implement - BIM adoption is familiarizing with the software, gathering
information and seeking advices, making decision and commitment, changing mindset and
attributes about the technology for long term advantage
- All players benefit from BIM in one way or the other – some directly and others indirectly
- BIM is all about details, but details should not be added all at once. Add as you go - add details
as you proceed from one stage another. Ex- BIM is incorporated from the beginning of a project,
but level of details needed in the beginning are not that much, as we transition from design to
preconstruction to construction phase - more and more details can be added gradually. Person
using BIM should know what detail is too less and what is too much for a particular stage in the
project.
- BIM operator should have critical thinking – he should have an understanding of the tool,
knowledge of materials and construction methods – he should have a general idea of things
involved
There are various hurdles in the adoption and subsequent implementation of BIM, but these can be
overcome. A positive attitude and willingness to change is what stands in between. If this is overcome,
then the benefits of this technology and be exploited to its full potential.
