>>>What is Building Information Modelling (BIM) – Differing Views ?
UK Construction Project Information Committee: “Building Information Modelling is digital
representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility creating a shared knowledge
resource for information about it forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, from
earliest conception to demolition.”
-
USA: Associated General Contractors : "an object-oriented building development tool that
utilizes 5-D modeling concepts, information technology and software interoperability to
design, construct and operate a building project, as well as communicate its details."[
What type of projects can BIM be used in ?
………Practically anything that can be designed in 3D !!
3D Architectural Design
3D Civil / Structural Design
3D M & E Design
3D O & M Design / Commissioning / Long Term Preventative Maintenance
Construction Projects include :
Commercial Projects – Hotels / Offices / Supermarkets / Warehouses
Residential Projects– Multi-Storey Buildings / Apartments
Educational Projects – Schools & Universities
Government & Local Authority Projects – Civic Offices
Major Capital Construction Projects – Regeneration Schemes
Civil Engineering Projects include :
Major Structures – Tunnels / Bridges / Basements
Renewable Energy Schemes – Wind Farms
Power Stations – Hydro and CHP
Water Treatment & Sewerage Treatment Plants
Linear Projects – Rail / Motorways
Major Capital Civil Engineering Projects
Rail Projects – RPA & Irish Rail Projects
>>>How many dimensions are there in Building Information Model (BIM) ?
3D –3D Design
4D – Linking 3D objects to Gantt chart activities
5D – 4D + Resources / Costs ( Built into activities)
6D – Sustainability (and Robustness of 3d objects)
7D – Facilities and Asset management
8D – Post Occupancy
9D…TBC
>>>What is a Building Information Model (BIM) ?
What is the Lifetime of a typical BIM model ?
Answer : A BIM model has a Life time in digital format, like a building has a lifetime in
reality, from conception to demolition.
40 years
3 years
3D >>6D
IPD
Stage
37 years
Facilities Management >>7D
>>>What is BIM Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Integrated Project Delivery (abbreviated IPD), is a collaborative alliance of
people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that
harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results,
increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all
phases of design, fabrication, and construction.
The IPD stage of a project is only around 3-4 years of a project life where it is
built. This is the Design / Procurement / Construction and Commissioning
stage.
The remainder lifetime of a project is the facilities / asset management stage
which is the seventh dimension (7D).
Current forms of contract do not take account of this.
Answer : Multi Party Form of Contract
>>>So, What is a 3D object ?
A column has :
Quantities
Dimensions
Loadings info & Calculations
Specification
A 3d object has :
Quantities
Dimensions
Loadings info & Calculations
Specification
COSTS !!!
>>>What is a 3D object ?
So, a BIM model can be made up of multiple 3d objects, to create a 3d model
>>>How can we link 3d objects to create a 4d timeline.?
So, a BIM model can be made up of multiple 3d objects, to create a 3d model , these can
be interlinked with activities from a Gantt chart and costs for permanent and consumable
resources can be applied.
>>>What is constructability ?
Wikipedia : Constructability (or buildability) is a project management technique to review
construction processes from start to finish during pre-construction phase. It is to identify
obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent error, delays, and cost
overrun.
>>>Why is it so important in BIM ?
Constructability is important in 3d/4d modelling as models need to be created and
built as per construction methods and knowledge on-site in line with realistic time and
cost constraints.
Historically, Planners, schedulers and Project controllers provide constructability within
their Gantt charts when they construct within their minds logically with design and
methods..

>>>Again ……..Why is it so important ?
Unfortunately …Designers produce designs that are NOT constructible & why ?
Because they are designers and not constructors !
This is an issue …..
>>>What is constructability ?
Take for example – a RC floor slab (50mx50m) ….
The pour is 3000m3 of concrete with a depth of 1.200m…..It was priced at tender stage by
the contractor with a BOQ undertaken by a PQS using 2d drawings.
The architect created the design and the structural engineer designed the slab within
these parameters incl. rebar and concrete mix..The PQS measured it and produced a BOQ
for the tender..
>>>What is constructability ?
The pour is 3000m3 of concrete with a depth of 1.200m…..
Is it constructible ? No !
How can it be made constructible ? By allowing input from the constructor and planning
the sequence of pours in line programme / schedule & the contractors budget.
The 3d object is divided into 4 pours of 750m3 each – It is now constructible.
>>>…BIM can be used to produce this accurate 5D BIM cost management

stage…

Time and cost benefits of BIM
A study done by Stanford University Centre for Integrated Facilities Engineering
(CIFE) figures based on 32 major projects using BIM indicates benefits such as (CIFE,
2007):
•Up to 40% elimination of unbudgeted change.
•Cost estimation accuracy within 3%.
•Up to 80% reduction in time taken to generate a cost estimate.
•A savings of up to 10% of the contract value through clash detections.
•Up to 7% reduction in project time. (Azhar S. et al.(2009))
