Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Surveyors February 8 th, 2013 Jerry Bartels LEED Green Associate Autodesk Civil Technical Specialist
Introduction Jerry Bartels Autodesk Civil Technical Specialist Used Autodesk civil products for approx. 25 years. CAD Manager with a civil engineering and land surveying firm. Implementation, Instruction and Consultation services. Written various curriculum and training materials. 10+ years experience as a municipal official
Agenda During this presentation we will discuss What is BIM? What does BIM mean to a Surveyor? Site Investigation Leveraging GIS resources Data Collection Reducing Field Data Survey Tools Annotation Collaborating With Others Business Opportunities The Future Summary Questions
Engineering Drawings Not much has changed in 2,000 years Today we use CAD 2,000 years ago Today
Traditional CAD Focus on drawings production Project s information in multiple files and formats Difficulty to manage changes late in the project Risk of data loss during multidiscipline coordination
Linear Workflows Traditional CAD Survey Preliminary Design Final Design Construction Docs New Design Change Delete & Redraw Project Timeline
BIM Improvements Parallel Workflow Productivity Increases Construction Docs Dynamic Updates Change Final Design Preliminary Design Survey Project Timeline
Building Information Modeling BIM is an intelligent 3D model based process Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides insight for creating and managing projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact. PLAN MANAGE BUILD Not always called BIM. Also referred to as (VDC) Virtual Design and Construction DESIGN Others include MBD, EED, DP and more.
Why is BIM important to the Civil Industry? Benefits Decreasing operating costs and exposure to liability Consolidate design applications and maintain internal standards Strengthen relationships with clients and vendors Deliver consistent / reliable results Distinguish services from the competition Unequaled responsiveness to design changes and alternatives Attracting and retaining competent professionals Implement/adopt industry leading tools and practices
BIM is more than just the model 3D Models Have a number of downstream uses Quantity takeoffs Construction Sequencing Cost Estimates Renderings / Animations Public meetings / hearings Referendums Documentation Automated Machine Guidance Below grade coordination Hydrology And more.
