Integrating BIM and LEAN for Project Delivery - Construction of a Major Hospi...CCT International
Webinar presented by Mr. Zuhair Haddad, CCT's Chairman for the Lean Construction Institute on 1 September 2016.
Hospitals are ecosystems of diverse functions: laboratories, imaging units, ERs, surgery and operating rooms, inpatient quarters, etc. This makes building them one of the most complex tasks, specifically room completion systems as each set of rooms have their own furnishing and finishing requirements. This entails the existence of several number of trades, where coordination grows exponentially in importance. King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan is a prime example with fast track requirements (3 years delivery) which increase the complexity further.
Join in this webinar Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), a leading global construction contractor who will share the above case study where BIM, advanced work packaging and Lean were implemented in an integrated approach to manage the finishing activities for the hospital. The presenter will share some of key drivers for the success of this implementation:
• BIM authoring requirements to suit project controls
• Leveraging BIM to manage schedule, cost, sub-contractors, and material delivery.
• Installation Work Packages (IWPs) creation
• IWPs management using Lean approach
• Collaboration using BIM to support Lean processes
• Lessons learned.
About the Presenter:
Zuhair Haddad is the CIO, Corporate Asset and Risk Management for Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC). He is in charge of mapping out and implementing the Project Control IT and Communication strategy for CCC group as well as directly overseeing CCC’s Information Systems, Corporate Risk, Communication and E-procurement Departments. He also leads the Plants Machinery and Vehicles (PMV) Department which manages CCC’s extensive fleet of construction equipment. Zuhair holds a Masters in Construction Management from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Science from the California State University of Chico in Civil Engineering.

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.
Plannerly and Dalux for construction system engineeringStephen Au
Yahiaoui et al (2006) argue that adoption of the traditional SE V-diagram during building design and construction process would help optimize the trade offs during building lifecycle since SE V‐diagram allows for transformation of operational needs into a system performance parameters specification and integration of different functionalities requirements and related design parameters.
BIM and DWSS (Digital Works Supervision System) create a digital twin to compare the virtual asset simulation with the physical system performance analysis for system optimization, which is aligned with SE validation process. In the presentation, we will discuss and show how the DWSS & BIM via digital construction technology @Plannerly & @Dalux can enable system engineering approach being applied to the buidling delivery process in building design

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.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.

7. BIM standards and mandates
The US General Services
Administration (GSA),
managing all federal
buildings, has been
requiring BIM through
its national 3D-4D-BIM
program.
Created by the
buildingSMART Alliance,
the US National BIM
Standard (NBIMS)
covers exchanges
between stakeholders
during all phases of a
facility’s lifecycle.
UK government’s much
talked about Level 2 BIM
standards. The mandate
is that by 2016 all public
projects will have
minimum collaborative
3D BIM targets.
8. What types of projects benefit most from BIM?
Complex projects with multiple stakeholders that can
significantly benefit from:
Improved
efficiency
Increased
clarity
Fewer project
reworks
Reduced waste
and cost
9. Adopting BIM is a change in both
company behavior and process
10. There are BIM adoption challenges
70%
70% of contractors have
adopted BIM in North America
over the past 10 years
Yet only 30% of projects
actually implement and use

30%
11. Challenges of realizing the full benefits of BIM
project-wide
• Increasing project complexity
• Information silos
• Software cost & accessibility
• Owners requirements
• Training & implementation
• Determining the activities and BIM processes to be adopted
• Defining and controlling model & data structure and versioning
• Facilitating efficient and effective collaboration and communication
13. BIM success study
“BIM is a much higher value-add to our
customer, at the end of the day.”
— Ricardo Khan, Director of Integrated Construction
Mortenson has
implemented BIM in
vertical projects.
AN EARLY ADVOCATE They are applying best
practices
• On infrastructure
projects
• Leveraging BIM’s robust

17. My history with BIM
• Early BIM adopter – early 2000s
• “Building” as a verb, not a noun – to appeal to the “horizontal” or infrastructure
construction world, (same as it applies to vertical ‘buildings’)
• Tying 3D project models to CPM Schedule activities (4D) and Cost/Budget
estimating, planning and accounting (5D)
• Seeking to enable unlimited access to the full Program/Project team for
continuous improvement in communication, collaboration, coordination of all
planned and measured data.
18. State of Infrastructure Industry
- before BIM and Aconex
• Large Infrastructure owners typically
only have 2D plans and profiles of their
current assets.
• All typically have a need for better
collaboration during design
development
19. With BIM and Aconex
• Public owner (airport) required design data to comply with FAA mandate.
• Airport acquires 2D plans from adjacent public owners to incorporate into its
overall 3D/BIM model.
• Using Connected BIM in Aconex, the Airport and adjacent public
infrastructure owners each had secure access to the information they
needed.
20. How owners can use Aconex to leverage the
BIM models provided by their consultants
• Use the Aconex BIM module for visualization and collaborative
project team discussions around the BIM IFC models provided by
their consultants, developed in Revit and other authoring tools.
• Attach project documents from Aconex to the various objects
(assets/sub-assets) in the models to be shared and reviewed with
O&M teams.
21. Key benefits of future BIM for owner agencies
• “Single source of truth”
• Improved accuracy
• Timeliness of communication
• Constant consciousness of Value Engineering opportunities/necessities.
• Provides transparency of information to all organizational stakeholders
• Provides a structure for ‘clear and present’ accountability, thereby reducing
risk.
22. BIM best practices
• Align BIM to project processes
• Procurement
• Construction/Installation
• Asset management
• System O&M projects
• Initiate BIM early in the design process
• Create a central repository for all BIM (IFC) models
23. Results to be achieved by owners
• Direct cost reductions
Value Engineering coordination, more efficient
information flow, decision making, schedule
acceleration, dispute avoidance, and rework
reductions.
• Development of Standard BIM Specification
Standard BIM specification and implementation plan
for all new facility and infrastructure capital projects.

Editor's Notes
Janet:
Matt will start today’s session with an industry landscape and provide a brief overview of BuiltWorlds and their mission of fostering a smarter built environment through knowledge sharing and promoting a deeper understanding of the new and emerging tech applications and possibilities that empower us all.
After Matt provides the landscape, Sean Vonfeldt with RTD will talk about how RTD is continuously reviewing and improving their business processes and implementing solutions like Aconex to best optimize the benefits of BIM and meet their business goals.
We will conclude with John Barkwell providing an overview and demonstration of the Aconex system, showing us how to optimize the benefits of BIM across entire project teams and throughout the project lifecycle. John is the Aconex Director of BIM, who has worked in the industry for 25 years.
We will take questions at the end, so please feel free to send those through at any time using the questions function on your Go To Webinar control panel.
Let’s get started. I will turn the webinar over to Matt who will give us an overview of the current industry trends and some of the challenges BIM addresses.

Matt:
Thank you Janet.
I am very happy to be here today to share what we are seeing in the industry and some exciting results achieved using BIM to improve how projects are delivered.
I’d like to start out by sharing a few slides about innovation in our industry, trends and challenges then tell you a bit more about BuiltWorlds and how we work with BIM and organizations across the US, then I’ll wrap up with specific examples and results.
[CLICK]
Matt:
As Janet mentioned in the introduction, BuiltWorlds is a collaborative network. We founded BuiltWorlds to bring additional awareness and education on innovative ways to use technology in the built industry.
To help push this critical $5 trillion global industry forward, we provide written and video content, live events across the US and we work to be a central hub to facilitate connections.
[CLICK]
Matt:
Emerging technologies are part of most of our daily lives and many of these technologies are disruptive, taking time and resources and changing mind sets to reap the benefits.
I would put BIM among these important emerging technologies. Let’s take a closer look at BIM adoption.
[CLICK]
Matt:
As you can see from this graph there is a significant increase in BIM adoption around the world.
The benefits of digital optimization are increasingly leading governments, local councils and facility owners, to mandate BIM on their projects.
Just one example is the UK governments much talked about Level 2 BIM standards. The mandate is that by 2016 all public projects will have minimum collaborative 3D BIM targets.

[CLICK]
Matt:
Defining project BIM process upfront
Consistent requirements across the project team
Ongoing training as new members join the project team
Central system to support project-wide access to the model
Aligning the BIM model to all project phases (design, procurement, handover…)
As much as possible we apply the successes of one project to another. This helps to shape and define our processes.
As demonstrated earlier in the model map, the success of a project is contingent on project team members having access to the models and visibility into the models.
The ability to analyse models and data is hugely beneficial for our organization. We are able to tap into the project through exploring the foundations of the models which are databases at their heart. Only then can we reveal the true health of the project models.
And importantly we need to remain dynamic to be able to alter workflows to suit specific people and projects.

Matt:

Thank you for the opportunity to be here today. I’ll turn the presentation over to Sean VonFeldt from RTD and I’ll stay on the line for Q&A.

Sean:
Thank you Matt. It was great to hear what you’re seeing in the industry.
I have been working with the Denver Regional Transportation District for past 8 years and in my role I measure and help control Scope, Schedule and Budget for the $5.5 Billion FasTracks Program.
Let me tell you a little about my background on Mega Infrastructure programs and projects.
[CLICK]
Sean:
As you can see, all of these programs cover vast geographies (or sizable footprints) and interface with multiple public and private stakeholders, and I can assure you their projects definitely follow the trend of increasingly complex infrastructure projects.
RTD and Greenline
It is complex projects that gain the most benefit from BIM.

Sean:
I have had a long career working as an owners rep.
To give you some background of my background, I have worked with Parsons Birkerhoff and Parsons Brinkerhoff Ltd.
As you can see, all of these programs cover vast geographies (or sizable footprints) and interface with multiple public and private stakeholders, and I can assure you their projects definitely follow the trend of increasingly complex infrastructure projects.
It is complex projects that gain the most benefit from BIM.
[CLICK]
Sean:
As a Programwide/Projectwide Controls Manager working for various mega public infrastructure owners, you might say I’m an “early adopter” in recognizing the potential benefits of using 3D project models to collaborate Scope elements (i.e Transit Assets) with Master Program CPM Schedule activities (4D) and the respective Cost & Budget (5D) data for estimating, planning and accounting.
My early adoption ambitions to tie all Scope, Schedule, Cost and Documentation configurations together go back as far as early 2000’s when I worked at London Underground.
I have been working with my RTD colleagues, strategizing BIM implementation at RTD FasTracks since circa 2010… and we are now in our 2nd year of looking at BM implementation for process improvements on the owner side in Design/Build projects like RTD FasTracks, including working with a graduate student who was working in this area. Including value to as built dataand handover to O&M for ongoing facilities management.
All public agencies are engaging in ever-increasingly complex projects, RTD is finding it needs to succinctly and transparently collaborate Scope requirements (i.e Plans and Specs for Transit Assets) with an integrated Master Schedule (4D) and with Cost/Budget Control analysis (5D), as well as, ideally capture all “as-built records” pertinent to O&M, for hand-over from Capital Projects into Operations.
… also a need for a centralized work-flow platform to enable unlimited access by agency personnel to its Business Operability Obligations Management (BOOM) processes.
[CLICK]
Sean:
A couple real scenarios on projects in my past…
On one design/build project including both roadway and railway bridges, all bridge designs were inadvertently developed using roadway bridge specifications for the foundations.
Lack of visibility and collaboration of the bridge designs and design requirements by all relevant stakeholders, allowed error to go unnoticed.
Impact: Some bridges were completely built before the design error was caught, and some had to be re-designed, demolished and reconstructed. More eyes may have caught the issue earlier, saving the contractor significant time and money.
Others: Unidentified underground utilities (Utility companies with known easements not invited to participate in design reviews).
Bottom Line: Better collaborative visualization during design development (as with use of BIM processes and a central SSoT “visualization” tool like Aconex BIM Module) can help prevent errors from going unchecked and unnoticed.
Project-wide access to the model.
[CLICK]
Sean:
Adjacent public owner (airport) required as-built design data for their BIM model, to comply with a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulatory mandate, and to allow operations of others’ facilities within their jurisdiction.
Simultaneously, other public and private entities are looking for a way to collaborate with the airport for as-built data for various rooms/facilities provided for their tenant fit-out and occupancy, but not owned by them.
Issue: Airport has a 3D/BIM model of all facilities on their property, but 3rd Parties only have 2D plans, profiles and sections for their facilities, structures, overhead power, underground utilities, etc…
Resolution: Using Connected BIM in Aconex, the Airport can share a portion of their BIM model for other’s use and reference during service operations and maintenance. Likewise, the other 3rd parties are able to provide 2D CAD drawings to the Airport for their use in completing the BIM model required by FAA for operations.
They need to have a complete model including all interfaces, such as rail infrastructure going into the airport.
Need to accept all drawing and model formats, and view and comment on them, and connected BIM allows that.
[CLICK]
Sean:
Perspective of the infrastructure owner/operator:
BIM vs. Connected BIM
True BIM development is all on the design/build contractor.
Owner Agency want to be allowed to see or visualize and “capture reality” about their projects and assets…
Goal is to:
All project stakeholders collaborate and talk to the 65% design model – attach docs and comments to it.
Then when 90% model is published and supersedes, still keep or promote those attached docs where appropriate… likewise for the 100% and Issue for Construction models.
Needs to keep the history of design development for planning and engineering’s use, but only hand-over the accurate/relevant “as-built” model and cost/schedule/quality data to the O&M or FM group for their use during operations through the ongoing life of the asset.
[CLICK]
Sean:
“Single source of truth” for collaboration of project/asset technical information.
Promotes accuracy (many eyes validating/verifying)
Promotes timeliness of communication for coordination purposes
Promotes constant consciousness of Value Engineering opportunities/necessities.
Provides transparency of pertinent project/asset information to all organizational stakeholders, internal and external.
Provides a structure for ‘clear and present’ accountability
another favorite quote of mine… “Risk is… without accountability”
Each designer/builder has ownership and control of the information provided for the asset/system/discipline they are supplying.
[CLICK]
Sean:
Best Practice #1: Important to establish a BIM protocol from the beginning or a BIM Implementation Plan which will align your BIM models to your key business and project delivery processes
RTD developed a scheme in 2013 with assistance of a graduate student intern, who was writing his Master’s thesis on “BIM for Infrastructure”
Scheme: Scope vs BIM Development… whereby we would establish a correlation between Capital Program/Project WBS and BIM LOD, in both:
Levels of Definition (design details required for procurement and installation),
and Levels of Development (design development from major Asset/System to sub-Assets/sub-Systems)
Why?… essentially borne out of a necessity for collaboration and integration of technical information, from inception of Capital Projects into Asset Management (O&M).
Best Practice #2: BIM>BAM for Asset Management… Establish a master Business Asset Model (BAM) in a central enterprise GIS system, which is a repository for all independent BIM (IFC) models, for all assets created by capital projects.
In 2014 I started a trial use of Aconex BIM Module as a pilot BAM for any all BIM models created for FasTracks projects.
Why?… BIM repository and viewer are already available with Aconex; easy to use; all basic info/data collaboration functionality.
[CLICK]
Sean:
By implementing a central secure collaboration platform, Owners are able to benefit from value engineering coordination, more efficient information flow, decision making, schedule acceleration, dispute avoidance, and rework reductions.
also assists owners in developing a Standard BIM Specification and BIM Implementation Plan to be piloted on the next major facility or infrastructure capital project.
Now, I’ll hand the presentation over to John Barkwell with Aconex.
