    Uploaded by

    Dan Vlasceanu
    BIM provides several benefits to construction productivity: - It reduces errors and coordination issues, cutting rework costs by up to 90%. - Studies found construction time reduced by 37% and better communication led to fewer requests for information. - Contractors can use BIM models to do quantity take-offs faster, improving their productivity by up to 20%. - When fully implemented with trained staff, BIM optimizes project results and increases value for owners through greater efficiency.

    The integration of BIM in Construction


    Organizations & it’s impacts on Productivity
    BLDG 4051 | George Brown College| Omer Syed -
    April 21, 2016
    100777134
    Intensions & Assumptions

     To explain the concept of BIM and its impacts on productivity in


    the Construction Industry.
     To help educate the reader in understanding what BIM is and
    how BIM can be implemented in the workforce.

     Due to conflicting schedules, only 3 in-person interviews could


    be used as primary sources of information
    Introduction
     The Construction Industry accounts for 6% of Canada's GDP
    (Statistics Canada, 2016).

     Currently, programs like AutoCAD is the popular choice to use


    when designing and documenting architectural & construction
    drawings
     However the process can be slow and most of the time is used
    up in coordination and correcting discrepancies.
     Which is why increase the productivity and output of
    construction drawings and documents is a crucial part in a
    project orientated industry such as the Construction Industry.
    Thesis Statement

     “BIM programs & practices are not only used


    to help with communication and visual
    understandings of a project, but also have a
    great impact on accelerating productivity and
    achieving a higher project turnover rate.
    BIM – Definition
     In 2016, The Us National
    Building Information Modeling
    Standard Project Committee
    defines BIM as:
     “(BIM) . . . is a digital
    representation of
    physical & functional
    characteristics of a
    facility. (BIM) . . . is a
    shared knowledge of
    resources for information
    about a facility forming a
    reliable basis for
    decisions during its life-
    BIM – Dimensions in Construction
    BIM – History
     Charles M. Eastman. Is a pioneer in AEC
    CAD and developed early research on
    BIM.
     In the mid-1970s, he focused on the
    development for practitioners with the
    ‘Building Description System’ and
    ‘Building Product Modeling’ (which was
    later renamed into ‘Building Information
    Modeling’ – BIM).
    Charles M. Eastman,
    Picture taken in 2014.
     Author of BIM Handbook: A Guide to
    Building Information Modeling for Owners,
    BIM – Off-Site Applications
     BIM is mainly used in offices of Construction & Design
    companies.
     There are 5 main purposes when working with BIM:
     Gather – Collect & organize Information
     Generate – Create & design with the information gathered

     Analyze – Review the design and it properties

     Communicate – Present & document the design & information

     Realize – Follow through with the design & implement it in the


    construction phase
    BIM – On-Site Applications
     BIM can be used to facilitate a virtual walkthrough while on a
    construction site – through the use of BIM “apps”. Most
    common BIM apps are listed below:
     Graphisoft BIMx
     Telka BIMSight Mobile
     Navigator Pano Review
     Autodesk 360 Mobile
     Revizto Viewer
     BIManywhere

    BIM – Productivity Rates
    IPD vs Traditional methods
    of construction in terms of
    Cost / Time / Efforts.
    (Hijazi, 2015).
    BIM – Productivity Rates
    This graph depicts the total time it takes to
    complete a project, by using BIM & CAD
    separately.
    (Graphisoft, 2015).

    Additionally, BIM enabled projects have


    reduced the number of RFI’s to 10% of the
    project.
    (Chelson, 2010).

    This reduction of rework and idle time, due


    to site conflicts savings for trade
    contractors, have been reduced to 9% of
    BIM – Productivity Rates
    Long term & short term rates
    when a construction company
    is working with BIM and
    applying BIM to a construction
    project.
    (McGrawHill Construction, 2012).
    BIM – Productivity Rates
    Tangible benefits for contractors &
    sub-trades working with BIM related
    programs and implementing BIM
    practices.
    (Turner, 2015).
    BIM – Productivity Rates: Facts from
    Studies
     75% of BIM users reported better multi-party
    communication.

     57% of Designers state BIM reduces errors during the


    design phase.

     Average project duration reduced by 37%.

     65% of contractors report BIM reduces rework and cost


    BIM – Project Turnover Rates
    The impact
    of BIM on
    Project
    Turnover
    rates
    (Becker-Gerber,
    2010).
    BIM – Implementation
     Software / Hardware Requirements:
     CPU Types:
     Multi-Core Intel Pentium, Xeon, or i-Series Porcessor or an AMD equivalent
     Memory
    4 – 8 GB of RAM
     Video Graphics Card
     Direct X11 with Shader Model 3 (As recommended by Autodesk)
     Staff Training Requirements:
     SufficientHuman Capitol to complete the project in a Team Based
    environment
     A diploma in Architectural Technology (or equivalent diploma) is
    usually required.
    BIM – Challenges
     IPD concept education & “Know how”
     Understanding each other’s role &
    responsibility
     Set up communication protocols
     Understanding that increase in cost at
    early stages can substantially reduce
    construction process costs, change
    orders and requests for information.
     Contractors & sub-contractors need to A typical IPD system.

    revise their construction management &


    process.
    Primary Sources – Jacek Gorka
     Jacek Gorka Dipl. Ing., ARCH., M.Arch, OAA, MRAIC - Project Manager
    at GorkaArchitects.

     Mr.Gorka has been working with CAD & BIM software for the
    past 20 years and also has his own practice at GorkaArchitects
     “Being a designer and Project Manager, I have noticed that
    ‘Element Redundancies’ have dropped, which has improved
    project productivities. I have also noticed that over the years,
    with using BIM practices and the Revit Program, is that
    coordination errors have dropped 90% - which has greatly
    improved productivity” – (J. Gorka, personal communication, December 2, 2015)
    Primary Sources – Kaite Kuzan
     Katie Kuzan B. AS, M.Arch - Project Manager at Kohn Partnership
    Architects Inc.

     “The growing trend is that a number of trades have requested


    the Architect/Client release the BIM model to perform Quantity
    Take-offs at a much faster rate and with ease.”
    - (K. Kuzan, personal communication, December 3, 2015).

     Ms.Kuzan has also stated that this trend has increased by as


    much as 20% within the past years.
     She has also stated that this trend is most common within the
    Steel Sub-Trade.
    Primary Sources – Nay Calderon
     Ney Calderon, Dipl. Arch. Tech. - Research and Innovation Lab
    Technician Coordinator - CCET

     “BIM is a great tool to optimize project results, increase project


    value for the owner, reduce waste and maximize efficiency
    throughout all aspects of the project.” - (N. Calderon, personal communication, December 4, 2015)
     Mr. Calderon has stated that the best way utilize BIM to its
    fullest potential is to have everyone on board with the process
    and for everyone to understand it.
    BIM – Conclusion & Recommendations

     In conclusion BIM can help Construction Companies


     Improve visualization of construction projects

     Improves productivity due to easy retrieval of information

     Increase coordination of construction documents

     Embedding and linking of vital information such as vendors for specific


    materials, location of details and quantities required for estimation and
    tendering

     Increased speed of delivery
