Week 5 - BIM Flashcards
what is the traditional linear building process
client
architect
engineer
contractor
consultant
fabrication
operations
what are the limitations of the traditional process
- lack of communication/miscommunication between stakeholders
- It is hard to make important changes later on
- inefficient analyses and assessment
what are some errors that can occur in the traditional process
unanticipated costs
delays
lawsuits
what is the main saying in construction
“Pain is an old friend”
what was the first digital solution
autocad1 (1980s)
what does BIM stand for
Building information modeling
what is BIM
a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. it is the process of creating and managing information about a construction project across the project lifecycle
how is BIM different to the traditional model
BIM is an inclusive process where design and documentation can be done simultaneously
what are some BIM design processes
- architectural
- structural
- MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
how does BIM impact a project and the cost of the project
the early integration and development of the stakeholders minimise the cost of changes and help keep projects on schedule and budget
what are some BIM based analysis that can be done
- structural
- energy simulation
- fire safety simulation
- health and safety during construction
- heating-cooling load analysis
- clash detection
what is clash detection
the technique of identifying if, where, or how 2 parts of the building (plumbing, walls, etc.) interfere with one another
what project phases can BIM be used for
- design
- construction
- operations and management
what is the purpose of the BIM platform
it’s about having the right info given to the right people at the right time
what are the dimensions of BIM
3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D
