…Addressing Client Challenges

• Cost– value for money

• Velocity– increased speed to market

• Quality– decreased tolerance for error

• Complexity– increased systems integration

• Risk– decreased tolerance for uncertainty

Integrated Practice

BIG - BIM

Building Information Modeling

Some Definitions

BIM = Building Information Modelinga model-based technology linked with a database

IP = INTEGRATED PRACTICEIntegrated Practice refers to the legal and business issues that surround the integration of the building industry. It includes productive teams guided by trust, transparent processes, effective collaboration, and information sharing. Team success is tied to project success, shared risk/reward, value-based decision-making, and full utilization of available technologies.

BIM CASE STUDY• First Revit project was a justice project in April of 2007. The project

team consisted of 4 people including the PA and 3 full time staff. The project included limited remodel of existing structures, a new support facility and three new housing units. Schematic design had already been completed and the Revit model was started in DDs including the training of the 4 person project team. CD’s were completed 1 year later

• Subsequently used Revit on 2 major hospitals, 2 S&T labs, 2 large airport projects and several Interiors projects.

• Nationwide, over 100 Revit projects.Revit Projects

BIM Efficiency

A BIM model allows for:– questions to come up much earlier in the project– Detailed studies like sections or 3D views can be done early and

often, to see how systems interact and work together (or not). – The drawing set can be coordinated throughout the design phases

since Revit manages these automatically– Consultant models can be linked in to check for clashes– Disciplines can use the same elements on their respective models,

All working in the same model– Schedules generated automatically, take advantage of more

information to make more informed decision throughout the design.

Software

Revit (an Autodesk product).

Parametric tools, 3D modeling were main considerations, central database, ease of use (as compared to Architectural Desktop).

Corporate mandate: “All Future Projects Starting in October 2007 Will Be Executed Using Revit”.

Revit Environment

Best Revit Work Environment with today’s technology:

Single Office local area network (LAN) where users work off a local copy of a Revit model that is on the local server.

Consultant models are available from the same server.

Network Access Speed

1,000 Mbps (LAN)10 Mbps

1.5 – 4.5 Mbps

45 Mbps (in progress)

Wireless = 54 Mbps (for comparison)

Office 1 Office 2

Office 3 Office 3

internet

Note: typical model file size is between 100 MB to 250+MB.

Revit Remote Access – 1

Remote Access:

Remote Desktop (RD) where a user controls a computer on the local area network (LAN) remotely to access the Revit files.

Pro – fast access

Con - each user outside of the LAN will need 2 computers – their own and another one on the LAN for remote control.

Remote User at home

Hardware Specs

Autodesk Recommended Specifications

• Windows XP Pro (x32 or x64)• Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or equivalent• 4 GB RAM• Video card – supports OpenGL

spec 1.3• 1280 x 1024 monitor• 5 GB free disk space

Preferred Specifications

• Windows XP Pro x64• Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz• 8 GB RAM• Nvidia NVS 160M Video

card with 256 memory• 24” monitor• 160 GB local hard drive

Revit Production Work

• Project is separated into distinct manageable models – core and shell, interiors, site, buildings, etc…)

• Revit work practice – editing the element instead of checking out the entire workset, saving to central often, checking review warnings,

• Sitting team members together• Provide ‘instant messaging’

software for team members for quick communication

Consultants

• Use of Revit is relatively new and the application of Revit “use” varies quite a bit

• Disciplines have to work much more closely and earlier in the project phase– Establish schedule for model exchanges– Determine who “owns” certain elements and

when they release ownership of lements– One may have to edit an element family to

accommodate needs of another discipline.– Clash detection tools– LEED, sustainability tools

Revit Training

• Train the Project – 5 day, live on-site with the project team, training on actual project work has been successful.

• Virtual training – 5 half days of training done remotely by a vendor who is familiar with Revit work process.

• Advanced – 3-5 Days live on-site or remote 1 day• Self-paced – Revit video clips and webcast, Revit for Interior Design. Revit

Tutorials

Deliverables

• continue to produce 2D traditional document sets

• A BIM set will usually include more 3D views and sections to better explain design intent.
