When BIM tools and processes are combined with the desire to collaborate, the building design and construction project results are superior to projects using "traditional" methods. This presentation begins with a series of definitions and examples of BIM and includes a wide variety of projects where BIM saved the day for the team.

38. Critical Ingredients to a Successful
BIM Project
Utilize BIM as earlier as possible in the design process:
• The greatest opportunity for savings occurs when the Model is
created as part of the original design process.
• Use BIM for collaboration between all parties involved in the
design and construction phases including the subcontractor and
supplier levels.
• Continue updating the model throughout the shop drawing and
construction phases.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

39. Critical Ingredients to a Successful
BIM Project
Ensure that A/E, Contractor and Subcontractor Agreements are clear about
the scope of BIM to be utilized on the project:
• Contract language should clearly define the scope that is expected
of each party involved.
• The Owner should clearly define the extent and level of detail to
witch the Model will be detailed; following industry standards.
• Create a BIM Execution plan defining the roles and responsibilities
of each party throughout the design, construction and record
document process.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

40. Critical Ingredients to a successful
BIM Project
Ensure “Buy In” and use of the Model by all levels of the project team:
• Require Models to be submitted for shop drawing review.
• Conduct jobsite BIM Coordination meetings regularly during the
construction phase with all parties in attendance.
• Provide real time access to the Model on the construction site.
• This can be accomplished simply by providing a computer in
the construction trailer with the Model running on it.
• Providing more advanced mobile access such as tablet
devices.

62. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
Project: Broward County Children’s Reading Center and Museum
Size: $14 Million
Completion Date: January 2012
Owner: Broward County
Location: Davie, FL
Project Overview: BIM was a good fit for this project because of the
complex design elements. East and West exterior walls were designed to
be on an incline and not at 90 degree angles.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

63. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
This Revit Model was not
part of the original contract
documents.
The original design Model
was revised after design
completion to include all
disciplines for the purpose
of construction
coordination.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

64. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
While using the Model for structural coordination, a conflict with the tilt-wall panels
and steel joists was discovered.
Two of the tilt wall panels were found to be slightly warped along their axis because
of a conflict with the exterior dimensions of the building.
Discovery of this design coordination issue was made when the Model from the Steel
Contractor was imported into the Central Model during the shop drawing review
phase.
This condition was not clearly depicted in the 2D contract documents.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

65. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
The steel joists shown here,
protruding through the wall,
were designed correctly per the
2D roof framing plan.
The wall panels start at the
correct plane at the corners of
the building and gradual become
more warped as they intersect at
the center of the building.

66. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study

protruding through the
concrete wall panels.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

67. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
The warped exterior
wall panels shown here
were the result of a
conflict in building
dimensions.
The panels were also on
a sloped plane, making
the design issue almost
impossible to visualize
on a 2D floor plan.
May 23, 2012 | Ft. Lauderdale, FL

68. BIM - Design Coordination Case Study
Utilizing the BIM model to determine the new dimensions
required to keep the panels in one plane, the conflict was
resolved in less than a week and revised design drawings were
not required.
If this condition had been discovered during the normal
sequencing of the project, significant delays to the schedule and
additional material costs for pre-fabricated steel trusses and tilt-
wall panels would have occurred.
Using the Model to catch this error prior to fabrication
prevented additional change order costs roughly estimated in
excess of $30 K and delay costs could have been much higher.

Levels of BIM:

objects” not just lines and angles.
• 4D BIM – Adding the Time Factor of a schedule to a BIM Model

75. Advanced examples of BIM
Example of 4D BIM:
University of Florida Research Center in Homestead
• 4D BIM was utilized for this project at the Owner’s Request
• In this case, the timeline was used primarily for site phasing and
coordination.
• The 4D Model also provided a better visualization of the schedule.
