Layman's BIM

Layman's  definition for  BIM is to model a design in 3D.

Differentiated from a 3D rendering and 3D animation of which final and accurate dimensions are not truly finalized and cannot be used for construction purposes.

To design from the get go..in any 3d design tool such as Revit or ArchiCAD is to apply BIM process immediately and is to an advantage.

To create a BIM model, as what is usually done today,..from 2d designs from separate consultants , all of which areas, Architectural, Structural and MEP/HVAC are given to all separate design consultants, means to get all/design and drawings and consolidating it on one BIM 3Dmodel.

ADVANTAGE?..the model is based on true design dimensions and measurements and therefore represents an accurate representation of the end –on site project with all the detects(clashes). Thereby letting the consultants address and issues prior to constructing, Virtually, saving time and money on the actual site.

The ability to churn out drawings is a matter of sectioning out from the model saving again time, a drawing or drawings can be fashioned out in matter of seconds.

Design change is easy and error free, when you choose to change an area, if it affects another area, the model will inform you of the error. Letting you make proper adjustments to the model.

All cost and materials are integrated into the model, if needed. Making cost and measurement  analysis accurate.

BIM, BENTLEY, AUTODESK, CONSTRUCTWARE AND BUZZSAW

•          Bentley and Autodesk are sharing API’s to allow their software to import each other’s formats with minimal loss of data and Autodesk in particular is moving towards a standard format for all of it’s applications allowing for greater interoperability between their different products (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, etc.)

•          AutoDesk and Bentley have most solutions and are acquiring supporting tools

•          Autodesk’s purchase of ConstructWare and ownership of BuzzSaw are interesting but not providing much direction yet.

•          BIM usage is highest among architects but not necessarily highest value-add back to owner.

•          Manufacturers have begun figuring out how their data can be layered in.

•          Green and LEED certification certainly creates strong case for some BIM tools (sustainable materials).

•          We are early in the evolution…invest carefully but invest

•          Large industrial and institutional owners are pushing

•          Standards have yet to be worked out

•          Companies working with BIM in some way have had positive experiences and reporting ability to tackle larger more complex work.

•          One man’s definition –

Software systems and technology that use a comprehensive and common data model of a structure to facilitate quicker, more accurate, less costly, and more efficient design, estimating, procurement, building and maintenance.

•          Building lifecycle

•          Application developers working with a common data set

•          Role of the designer?

–        Conflict resolution or
enhancement?

–        Risk transfer? Item

–        Description

–        Cost

–        Size

–        Source (vendor)

–        Watts

–        Power consumption

What if we don’t change to BIM constructing:

·         Individuals in businesses and invidual project teams will conrinue to repeatitively create and recreate local, non reusable, non interoperable solutions to the same problems.

·         Business will continue to take longer than necessary to get to the market because it will take longer than necessary for parties collaborating on a project to share their ideas.

·         Information will continue to entered and re entered an average of seven times rather done entered correctly once and used many times.

·         Many more esources than necessary will be cconsumed during a life of a facility

It differs from " traditional CAD " (eg AutoCAD) in the parametric nature of it. eg. if say you draw plans, elevations, and sections in AutoCAD, If there are any design changes, you have to goto each sheet and change MANUALLY. This could get very complicated and confusing, and errors are introduced this way.

BIM software tries to solve this problem by making user to draw OBJECTS (instead of just symbolic 2D lines) eg. walls. By doing so, the building is 'virtually constructed', (in 3D with material information and sometimes even cost of material built in) The software do all the relevant revision for you. So if say, you change the position of the window in a wall, all the plans, section, elevations, are changed accordingly and automatically by the software. That's in the simplest level.

2D = LENGHT X WIDTH

3D = HEIGHT

4D = TIME

5D = COST

6d = ???

XD = BIM

1.    BIM means Building Information Modeling, (or Management).

2.    BIM is process, not software.

3.    To understand the basic nature of BIM is to understand the old process.

4.    Design is done in 2D, or flat 2 Dimensional Electronic files, separately.

5.    When I say separately I mean each of the disciplines are designed separately usually by different designers specializing in each field.

Usually the 3 fields are:

·         Architectural

·         Structural

·         MEP

Usually these are handled separately by law in the Philippines and even abroad, different companies with different specialties handle each area then co-ordinate later on site.

Imagine will you how this happens…the process, very slow tedious and full of errors.

Coordination is 2D, there is no real way of knowing what will clash until you are on the site.

This where BIM comes in. A modeler or 2, will develop each area based on the designs of each area. Architectural, Structural and MEP/HVAC.

Our BIM staff are versed at least in 2 fields, so depending on difficulty of building production of the model can be accomplished by a small select team.

The model is a representation of a co-ordination between all the 3 separate designs, molded together in a virtual building ,..the finished model will forcibly connect all 3 designs , errors and connections prior to actual construction. CLASHES gone. Money saved and cost avoided.

Churning out production drawings takes minutes. Faster production time. Error free real life construction.

And for an Owner/Real Estate Developer this will serve as binding document to the design as the model will expose errors of each design. All responsibility will fall on the designers, as well as potentially the cost to fix the errors. A boon for the owner.

All materials types and quantites are input into the model as design goes up. Surplus on site is saved.
