BIM Deliverables and Organizational goals Expectations Unsatisfactory experience : o Requiring BIM without defining why or how their BIM o Results unsure why they are doing BIM. Best chance at success o Business BIM Uses - Business reasons to use BIM o Not a one time savings but the ANNUALIZED savings o Contracting for the BIM you can use

Typically updated by the Designer from information provided by the Constructor (digital mark-ups, photography, laser scans). It may be used by Commissioning YES_The As-Built Model (.nwd) is submitted to MPA by the Contractor. The As-Built Model is typically an Autodesk Navisworks file that includes shop models and drawing information from trades and fabricators with detail of the as-built conditions. This model may also include laser scan data. It is used as a detailed reference document of all as-built conditions, but is not the basis of FM.

Dictating platformspecific BIM Pros o Healthier competition no software requirements to limit the set of bidders o The team members work with their own software platforms o Do not use unfamiliar software o Or pay a third party to produce the BIMs. Cons Owners may have oless control of the final software selection orisk receiving a less desirable platform. osupport multiple software platforms odifficultly hiring experienced staff in the multiple platforms oa platform not compatible downstream applications.
To Do or Not to do Record Model Record vs As-Built Record should be reserved for models being provided by the designers of record. As-built is associated with contractor provided as-installed building models.
To Do or Not to do Record Model Wide range Record BIM ostrategies o Arch/Struct CD BIMs with Contractor MEPF models o Design intent models to incorporate as-constructed conditions o Design record models use As-built model elements with product data OWNER Example : Design Intent model remains current with all approved bulletins for overall scope. It is NOT expected that product specific information will be added to this model. oterminology mix and matching = confusing o As-built Record o Record As-built o Design As-built o Contractor Record o Contractor Record As-built
To Do or Not to do Record Model Contractors As-Built Deliverables omost consistent owner BIM requirement. onative common deliverable file formats. osome cases IFC and Navisworks files. ohybrid mix of BIM/3D CAD/2D CAD ofederated Models- A trend to merge into a single deliverable o limits the number of BIMs the owner ultimately stores, manages and updates
To Do or Not to do Record Model Design Teams Deliverable Record BIMs PROS - Provides record models of changes recorded by the Design Team - More accurate starting point for renovations - Better investment than 2D record drawing from Contactor redlines - Reuse of Contractor models to capture undocumented changes CONS - Perceived risk will come with a price tag - Hard to identify level of effort for each project - No industry-wide best practice/guidelines/standards available
Practical and achievable BIM Ensure practical and achievable oproven obest Practice examples oresource Model ovalidation Tools
Practical and achievable BIM Proven to be achievable All required tested o As acceptable for intended use by End User o Produced with existing project software o Workflows are possible and practical
Practical and achievable BIM Best Practice - Example Building Systems YARD SALE! Set systems with specific color When placing - wrong color = wrong system Use the software to stop before it happens
Practical and achievable BIM Transfer using INSERT FROM FILE Provide a Resource Model Contains Owner Specific o Data Schedules o Sheet Views o Libraries o Shared Parameters NOT A Model TEMPLATE Transfer as PROJECT INFO
Practical and achievable BIM Automate checking your staff doesn't have time to do thoroughly AV Equipment at required height? Building Systems Pipe material correct? System components assigned no Yard Sale! Fire dampers in all Fire walls? More control of your Data Validation Tools Data Clash detection Acceptable Manufactures? Motor voltages?
Practical and achievable BIM Leverage BIM deliverable software Record BIMs o Reverse Clash detection o Value-Add approach
Design Intent Vs As Constructed = off by more than 12 Reverse Clash Detection

Record modeling o MEANS contains the same content and level of development as the Design Intent BIMs for Construction Documents. o Does NOT Mean. to contain all the construction details in the trade models.
Owner example Rules of thumb Design Intent Model updated when Contractor Models are either : A) Location of element* deviates o 6 or more in any space o 12 or more in any concealed spaces, mechanical spaces for MEP & other building systems. o 12 or more by any slab openings, steel members greater than 10 in depth and other major structural elements. B) Equipment* or system component* has been o Replaced by an owner-approved alternate or o Added during the construction phase of the project. *Vague= $$.. must define to what Equipment/system/component
