BIM SOP

Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a common application of BIM?

Answer 1

Information Technology (IT)

Question 2

In a parametric model a window object knows it’s a window, thus it knows that when the wall adjacent to the window moves two feet, it moves with it. This allows changes to the design to be captured in the model. T/F

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Choose the correct term to fill in the blank: The advantage of 3D is that, because every component is represented in true virtual space in a digital database __________ can identify conflicts in 3D space by identifying areas where two objects occupy the same point in 3D space.

Answer 3

Clash analysis

Question 4

True or False: An object in a BIM model can contain a finite number of no more than fifty attributes, including information about quantities or materials and the associated costs. T/F

Answer 4

False

Question 9

Which of these Project Delivery Methods maximizes collaboration between the design team and the builder?

Answer 9

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

Question 10

Which of these is the primary purpose of collaborative meetings during the design phase?

Question 14

How can BIM be useful in pre-bid or pre-proposal meetings?

Answer 14

Visualize the project and scope to prospective bidders

Question 15

How can BIM be useful in prequalifying bidders?

Answer 15

Allows the CM to validate the qualifications of the bids with regard to BIM capability.

Question 16

Which of the following is NOT a reason to ensure that the details of the information to be included in the model are established and understood by all parties involved in the project?

Answer 16

The BIM is always a contractual document representing the design.

Question 17

Which of the following is NOT a potential benefit of 4D modeling to the construction schedule?

Answer 17

Guarantees schedule conformance

Question 18

How can using the BIM mitigate additional costs on the project?

Answer 18

Which of these uses of the BIM is NOT a potential benefit to the building owner and/or facility manager?

Answer 19

Monitoring current temperature and humidity within the facility

Question 20

How can using software to link operations and maintenance documentation to the as-built models be useful post-construction?

Answer 20

Assists in developing operating procedural documentation and training information that can be accessed through a link to the Building Information Model
