BIM-Time Constraint-BIM for Engineering BIM is a process enabled by technology which enhances the existing practices BIM enables new functions and new frontiers to provide more automated workflow BIM succeeds if we understand: 1. Our Work Environment 2. The Engineering Best Practice 3. The International Standards and Codes 4. The Technology/Process Aspects BIM is a process enabled by technology to deliver an integrated engineered information
BIM-Time Constraint-BIM for Engineering Reducing overall project duration had the highest percentage increase in importance from 2009, jumping from 32% in 2009 to 53% in 2012 a growth of 66%. As Time is moving, Interaction with BIM is increasing, the general understanding of the need of BIM became mandatory, accordingly Project duration are optimized more and more since 2009 to 2012
BIM-Time Constraint-BIM for Engineering-Productivity BIM Is More Efficient For Structure And MEP Coordination The More We Focus On Details The More Time We Consume 20% Detailing Efforts Results 80% Time (Project Duration) BIM Efforts Traditional Workflow BIM Effort BIM Efforts Vs. Results
BIM-Time Constraint-Coordination and Clash resolution Using BIM, project data are integrated into one source of information, that will facilitate to do the required coordination between different disciplines( ARC,STR,MEP and others). Resolving the Clashes at early stage of the project will provide an enhancement on the workflow and increase productivity.
BIM-Time Constraint-Shop drawings and Data Availability Ability to extract fully integrated information from the model, Information availability to all project partiers. Accordingly site team can extract shop drawings for all disciplines.
BIM-Time Constraint- Conceptual to Operation Model The BIM provides full support from concept to operation, as the project is progressing the models are updated and enriched with different data for further use.
BIM-Time Constraints-4D Time Clash BIM provided a 4D virtual tool to deliver project on time by adding the fourth dimension. The ability to predict risks is becoming easier, project control indicators are becoming more integrated. Ability to see the interaction between Engineering with procurement and construction in one platform Preparing the optimum project plan by incorporating logistics and visualizing the different scenarios.
BIM-Time Constraints-4D Time Clash BIM Provides lower project risk, greater predictability of delivery & ultimately more profit, through the followingknown deliveryofbim: Assured Constructability Easier Coordination Visualized and Simulated project Scenarios
BIM-Cost Constraints BIM provides clear communication tool, that eliminates the conflicts and the associated effort. Eliminating variations by detecting design deficiency and modify at early stage of the project Maximizing Productivity and minimizing the rework McGraw Hill Smart Market Report
BIM-Cost Constraints Eliminating Variations/Changes by detecting design deficiency and modify at early stage of the project. McGraw Hill Smart Market Report
BIM-Cost Constraints BIM can be used to automatically perform quantity take-offs and measurement directly from a 3D digital model of a building. Saving estimator s time by reducing quantity takeoff process duration (by 80%). Any changes to the model, the quantities will be revised automatically as it is all linked in the database. McGraw Hill Smart Market Report
BIM-Cost Constraints Cost profit analysis, enabling deep analysis to project component and project budget. Ability to create the comparison sheet between actual cost and the earned value associated to. Provide project cost control system for the project during the project life cycle.
BIM-Scope Constraints BIM can be utilized to serve the project from cradle up to Demolition: Design: Project design is presented through LOD from Conceptual up to Detailed design. Construction: During the construction 4D/5D BIM are used to simulate the sequences and cost estimation. Drawings are extracted for construction. Later on data and as built drawings are reflected back on the model to create the as-built model Operation and facility Management: the As-built model will be used to operate the facility using the rich model of the facility with supplier data.
BIM-Scope Constraints Integrity of project data provide a clear vision on the required scope. Better communication between project parties One source of Truth-Information Ability to interact with changes if needed Ability to quantify the changes in the project
BIM-Quality Constraints The Quality of deliverable is playing a key role during the handing over of every single element of the project. BIM can be used to enhance the quality of the project by: 1- Validating the project design 2-Enriching the model with Data- as data is progressively elaborated.
BIM-Quality Constraints 3-Creatign project data codes and creating data schedule 4- Provide one source of data that prevents misinterpretation and documentation problems
BIM-Investment to Win-Smart Market Report! Percentage of Contractors Citing BIM Benefit as One of Top Three for Their Organization Leveraging BIM to improve collaboration with owners and design firms also scored very highly with over a third (35%) of contractors www.construction.com
BIM Awareness and Competency at the Middle East survey respondents, 21% were not familiar with Building Information Modelling and were unable to complete the full survey. Fifty-four per cent identified themselves as non-bim users (although in some cases they had BIM exposure and even training) and just 25% were self-defined BIM users. Consultant and Contractors accounted for the highest number of BIM users, around two-thirds of all user respondents, however they were not the highest by percentage. Within their own sector, Developers recorded the highest percentage of BIM users (40% of all developer respondents BIM Usage by Company Type Building SMART
BIM-Contractors Perception of ROI There is no single widely accepted method for calculating a company s return on its investments (RO I) in BIM, but most users have a perception of the value they are receiving for the time, money and effort they have expended on their BIM program. Contractors Perceived ROI on BIM-By Country www.construction.com
