Capstone Report

The integration of BIM in Construction

Organizations amp itrsquos impacts on Productivity

April 21 2016

Intensions amp 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 Canadas GDP (Statistics Canada 2016)

Currently programs like AutoCAD is the popular choice to use when designing and documenting architectural amp 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

ldquoBIM programs amp 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 ratesrdquo

BIM ndash Definition

In 2016 The Us National Building Information Modeling Standard Project Committee defines BIM as

ldquo(BIM) is a digital representation of physical amp 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-cycle defined as existing from earliest conceptions

BIM ndash Dimensions in Construction

BIM ndash 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

lsquoBuilding Description Systemrsquo and

lsquoBuilding Product Modelingrsquo (which was

later renamed into lsquoBuilding Information

Modelingrsquo ndash BIM)

BIM ndash Off-Site Applications

BIM is mainly used in offices of Construction amp Design

companies

There are 5 main purposes when working with BIM

Gather ndash Collect amp organize Information

Generate ndash Create amp design with the information gathered

Analyze ndash Review the design and it properties

Communicate ndash Present amp document the design amp information

Realize ndash Follow through with the design amp implement it in the

construction phase

BIM ndash On-Site Applications

BIM can be used to facilitate a virtual walkthrough while on a construction site ndash through the use of BIM ldquoappsrdquo Most common BIM apps are listed below

BIM ndash Productivity Rates

This graph depicts the total time it takes to

complete a project by using BIM amp CAD

separately

(Graphisoft 2015)

Additionally BIM enabled projects have

reduced the number of RFIrsquos 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

project costs

MrGorka has been working with CAD amp BIM software for the

past 20 years and also has his own practice at GorkaArchitects

ldquoBeing a designer and Project Manager I have noticed that

lsquoElement Redundanciesrsquo 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 productivityrdquo ndash (J Gorka personal communication

ldquoThe growing trend is that a number of trades have

easerdquo - (K Kuzan personal communication

December 3 2015)

MsKuzan 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

ldquoBIM is a great tool to optimize project results increase

project value for the owner reduce waste and maximize

efficiency throughout all aspects of the projectrdquo - (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 ndash Conclusion amp 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

Reducing production costs and creating a streamlined process

ldquoBeing a designer and Project Manager I have noticed that

lsquoElement Redundanciesrsquo 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 productivityrdquo ndash (J Gorka personal communication

ldquoBIM is a great tool to optimize project results increase

project value for the owner reduce waste and maximize

efficiency throughout all aspects of the projectrdquo - (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 ndash Conclusion amp 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

Reducing production costs and creating a streamlined process

BIM ndash Productivity Rates

Tangible benefits for contractors amp sub-trades working with BIM related programs and implementing BIM practices

(Turner 2015)

BIM ndash 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

overruns
