The document discusses various considerations for implementing BIM on construction projects. It identifies issues with a lack of understanding of BIM requirements and processes. It outlines opportunities to improve 3D model creation, clash detection, health and safety planning, asset data collection and other areas through better BIM implementation. The document encourages engaging clients early and setting clear strategies to fully leverage BIM capabilities.
Current practices to capture field conditions are manual and tedious, and often accompanied by inaccurate data. This leads to costly rework and project delays. Whether it is a complex renovation project or a large-scale infrastructure project, traditional surveying and documentation begin with a raster image based on a 2D blueprint that is converted in CAD to an editable file. Surveyors visit the construction site to verify existing conditions with the actual blueprint and check for any inconsistencies in the existing 2D blueprints.
For spaces that cannot be captured efficiently, other processes or tools are required to be used to measure objects through an easy and efficient process. Not only is this process time-consuming, but turns out to be incomplete and inaccurate leading to costly rework, delays, and change orders.
Traditional surveying methods exhibit the following limitations.
• Low reliability
• Limited accuracy and data coverage
• Inadequate As-Built data for 3D models or CAD drawings
• Inconsistent survey information that could lead to higher survey requirements
• Cost-prohibitive based on the need to hire survey experts, multiple site surveys, and costly rework
Ergo, an imperfectly set process often pulls projects into cost and time overruns due to expensive RFI’s and change orders.
Why deploy Reality Capture in Architecture and Design?
Generate precise dimensions for As-Built drawings
Create an accurate visualization of the design based on existing conditions
Validate 3D models with real-time design
Enhance stakeholder coordination and collaboration for the entire project
Reduce project guesswork and mitigate errors
Why deploy Reality Capture in Engineering and Construction?
Begin a project with precise data and problem identification
Avoid rework and costly delays through absolute collaboration
Reduce the number of site visits to save cost and time
Track project progress & identify potential problems
Validate actual work against the proposed design to make sure the project stays within budget
Leverage total collaboration throughout the project by comparing plans with 3D models
Share project progress with various trades and teams
Summary.
Reality Capture processes enable design and construction teams to leverage true confidence in their project. The difference in time, efficiency, and cost are far greater than in traditional surveying. As Reality Capture provides tremendous value at every building stage, its application can be extended to complex and large-scale renovation projects by saving on ROI, reduction in field trips, and better decision making.

Next Generation BIM
Sriram Sridharan, COO, Ineight
Today’s BIM solutions offer users an ability to view a three dimensional simulation of the stages of work and/or progress proposed to take place over the course of the project. These simulations are primarily leveraged during the pre-construction phase of a project. The simulation combines schedule data to design plans resulting in what is referred to as a 4D BIM solution. When a software expert designs the model to additionally reflect project costs within the proposed project, this is referred to as 5D BIM.
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).
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.
This case study concerns the establishment of Denmark's first PPP hospital, involving several AEC firms, navigating a complex project, by actively using BIM models for collaboration and user involvement in all phases of the building process. The lecture intends to inform of 'quick wins', successes and how to avoid pitfalls.
Key Learning Outcomes:
1. Knowledge concerning our experiences in creating an ICT framework that supports/contributes to a better cross disciplinary model collaboration.
2. Inspiration on how to actively use the models on-site, both for white- and blue collar workers.
3. Knowledge about which information the models should contain in order to be useful both in the design and construction phase

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
2. GENERAL
MANAGEMENT
Knowledge
• Lack of understanding of what BIMXtra required from the Designers
• Lack of understanding of Client meant there was less drive
• Industry knowledge of BIM at its’ infancy
• Lack of Direction on BIM documents- LODM, MPDTs, MIDP, TIDPs
Culture
• Satisfaction with a 3D model which is not intelligent-affects management of
MEP Services and quantity take off ability
• Initial model verifications reports/ checks showing lack of compliance with
RIBA Stages
Supply Change Management
• No supply chain assessments on BIM capability- Non compliant models
4. 3D MODEL CREATION
Considerations:
Fast creation of 3D models in various softwares, Earthworks, Substructure, Superstructure, BWICs,
Civils works
Avoid in-house modelling overheads
Supplement your in house team by flexing your modelling capability
Engineers from all disciplines
Vulcan Wharf, Stratford
Vulcan Wharf, Stratford
6. CLASH DETECTION
Considerations:
Discipline based clash detection
Buildability Review (Soft clashes)
Selection set based clash detection
As a secondary check or primary check if sub contractors models
need to be incorporated
Avoid delays and costly mistakes on site
7. DETAILED DRAWING CREATION
Considerations:
One off detailed drawings which are client specific
No in-house CAD overheads for one time drawings
Promote 3D capabilities to new potential clients
Give a better understanding and perception of the
end solution
8. 3D PDF’S
Considerations:
Simply view with Adobe PDF viewer o 3D model viewing tools needed
Live viewing of models with ability to navigate and hide objects
Simple navigation in everyday software
Helps promote visibility for a wider and more varied audience
9. 4D SEQUENCING
A visual aid to
simulate the
construction
programme with
the 3D model
Considerations:
Poorly Designed models added a considerable time to the 4D process
Both Designers and Engineers need to consider more carefully how we will
build the project in order for a more complete and accurate design model
Do you have 4D Simulations already? But need to implement processes to
engage with the team
Visit our YouTube Channel for examples
Useful for planning team and sub contractors
Track Progress, produce visual weekly/ monthly look
ahead- Used in Inductions, Engineer’s meetings
10. DIGITAL SHEQ
More complete
information rich
model to be handed
over to the Client.
Better coordination
of works and more
visibility on
completed and
outstanding task
Considerations:
Are your forms done retrospectively, so still a lot of lost crucial meta data
and accuracy
Need to make engineers comfortable with change
Need to consider everything from ergonomics of carrying tablet on site to
workflow of forms
11. O&M MANUALS AND OTHER
DOCUMENTATION
Considerations:
Attaching correct versions of Handover documents to
Models/ Elements
Helps the end user make more informed decisions on how
to manage their asset
12. CUT & FILL ANALYSIS
Considerations:
Cut and Fill Model from existing Client Vs Contractor usually have
discrepancies.
If volumes are not calculated correctly you could have under priced for muck
away costing you extra time, money and resources.
13. CONTEXTUAL MODELS & LOGISTICAL DRAWINGS
*21-22 Gillender Street
* Shoreditch Village
Considerations:
Useful for logistics Planning, especially in areas such as Central
London
15. ASSET DATA
•Considerations:
• Need to engage with Clients early on- ‘start with the end in
mind’
• Consideration of other time constraints- set up and
production of Schedules
• Defining a single strategy and following through (Senior
Management)
• Does your current BIM model have a adequate Level of
Detail to satisfy asset handover demands
16. LASER SCANNING / MODEL AS-BUILT
VERIFICATION
Capturing underground
services and verifying sizes
of new structures for M&E
fit-outs of scrapers, skids
and flooring.
Post Laser scan data
processing to create as
built records and verify
new structures- testing
new software's at Beta
Stage (ClearEdge’s
Verity)
Decreased field time
Considerations:
Activity requires dedicated surveyor and allocated time-
Engineers see this as BIM task
Point Cloud Verification can take considerable amount of time but
can be very useful
‘Out of the Box’ Revit point cloud verification- Not very useful
17. POINT CLOUD- SCAN TO BIM
• Experience modelling to various LOD’s and LOI to convert your
point cloud scans to BIM models
• Quick conversion of current/ existing models for logistics or
contextual purposes- e.g. existing site conditions
