This presentation is a summary about BIM technology (knowledge & implementation) to explain the difference between BIM & Revit (BIM is a processes knowledge, and Revit is a one of the softwares used in these processes).
Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. Building information models (BIMs) are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be exchanged or networked to support decision-making about a place. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, wastewater, electricity, gas, refuse and communication utilities, roads, bridges and ports, houses, apartments, schools and shops, offices, factories, warehouses and prisons.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
BIM is a process of generating and managing building data during its complete
lifecycle, from conceptual design through operation of the building
Building information modeling(BIM) is an integrated
workflow that enables architects, engineers, and
builders to explore a project digitally before it is built.
BIM is Evolution not Revolution
The creation and use of coordinated,
internally consistent, computable
information about a building project in
BIM is a modern technology and associated set of
processes to produce, communicate, and analyze
‘building models’…..
• ‘Digital representations’ of the building components that follow
parametric rules, which can be manipulated in an intelligent
fashion
• Carry ‘computable graphic and non‐redundant data attributes’
which are consistent, coordinated which can be viewed

Sustainability In Government - Bim Webinar4 All of Us
CROSS-WHITEHALL SUSTAINABILITY PRACTITIONERS FORUM
ADDRESSING THE BENEFITS OF BIM - SPONSORED BY FORGE TRACK LTD
We kick-started the series with a webinar for the Cross-Whitehall Sustainability Practitioners Forum. These webinars will provide the practitioners with the latest information, knowledge and policy announcements on a range of sustainability issues and was decided to launch this series by addressing BIM. BIM is a new requirement for government which Sustainability Practitioners will need to be aware of and one that will help Departments in the achievement of the mainstreaming commitments outlined below.
The Green Government Commitments require transparency and, in addition to the above requirements, must address the following areas: climate change adaptation; biodiversity and natural environment; procurement of food and catering services; sustainable construction; and staff wellbeing and quality of life. The Government Construction Strategy published May 2011, set out the framework for a range of workstreams, all of which have the ultimate aim of reducing the cost of government construction projects by 15-20 per cent by the end of the current Parliament.
The BIM task group are supporting and helping deliver the objectives of this strategy and the requirement to strengthen the public sector's capability in BIM implementation with the aim that all central government departments will be adopting, as a minimum, collaborative level 2 BIM 2016.
This webinar examined how BIM can support central government departments in their achievement of collaborative level 2 Bim by 2016 and highlight the great work already taking place within this field.
How to Create a Rock Star BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and MPDT* (Responsibility ...Fabio Roberti
A BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a valuable and necessary part of any project in the AEC sector. It is essential when the team needs to work in a collaborative process to ensure that everyone on the project is aligned with the project objectives. A correctly implemented BEP will ensure the project goals are clear and agreed by the wide project team. Communication is a key component of all construction projects. To be successful, it requires many different people working together to achieve the client requirements. A well-built BEP requires the project team to work together and communicate from the very beginning to the completion of the project. This class will explain the importance of the BEP and demonstrate how to create an efficient BEP for post-contract-award which will include the Model Production & Delivery Table (MPDT). The post-contract-award BEP sets out how the information required in the Employer's Information Requirements will be provided.
BIM Building Information Modeling is much more than model creation, it is human and software collaboration through large volumes of construction data that is communicated at every point in the development life-cycle for a project(s).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

A Specialty Contractor’s Perspective
Finding the absolute best product for the intended application.
Don’t get locked into an ecosystem → Use the tools that help your business most.
Designer’s BIM or Detailed Data Driven Construction BIM?
Focused BIM software for structural trades.
Compatibility through the IFC file format.
Software companies must play nice.
Architects/Engineering/General Contractors must be more open minded.
Remember what the “I” stands for in BIM.
Emphasis on the aesthetic in the Construction and Design Communities.
“Hollywood BIM” can stay with the general contractors and marketers.

7. Adjustable Forms Use of BIM
Leveraging BIM as a Specialty Contractor (Who Can’t Control the BIM Process Upstream)
Q: How can a small specialty contractor
justify investing in BIM?
Not required by contract (yet…)
Not fully utilized by majority of
General Contractors
Competitors aren’t using it (and the
ones who don’t “get it” don’t have
any plans to start)
A: Integrate the technology into as much
of internal operations as possible.
Only utilize BIM if faster, more
efficient, and more accurate.
Avoid “modeling for the sake of
modeling”
Leverage data across multiple areas
of work.
8. Preconstruction Phase
BIM Implementation Before We Get the Job
Develop Preconstruction Models
Design files, models, or none of the above? Did the designer cheat?
4D Schedule Loading
Quan;ty Extrac;on → Export Files → Import to Es;ma;ng → Bid
Modeling = Minimize impact of unfit numbers from competition.
Buy-in from GC’s → Coordina;on and logis;cs benefits prior to construction.

Embracing Technology Improve
Why are you using BIM or investigating BIM Software?
1. Have specific reasons – not just because everybody else is doing it.
2. This is not just marketing software.
3. What part of your business is struggling?
Where to start?
1. Get the right people making the decisions.
2. Start small. Better to be an expert in one area and expand.
Avoid workflow misconceptions.
1. It’s a (fill-in-the-blank BIM software job) so I’m stuck using what the design team uses.
2. I don’t have the resources or a “BIM specialist.” Break down traditional contractor positions.
3. Compatibility across platforms has never been better (IFC, import files, etc)
