JULY EVENT | COLLABORATION IN BIM: FROM PLANNING TO OPERATION

Join us on Thursday, July 16th, for an online presentation on Collaboration in BIM: from Planning to Operation

While Building Information Modeling has been adopted widely in recent years, here in BC the utilization of BIM tools has been traditionally limited to ‘Modeling’ – as a visualization tool and/or ‘Building’ – as a construction document production tool.  However, it is increasingly common to come across clients who mandate both geometric and data-rich models, beyond the purpose of design and planning.  To a lesser extent, a private developer client may use it for material quantity take-offs or construction schedule optimization; whereas to a greater extent, an institutional client may use it for asset management and building life-cycle analysis.  The extensive change in how and what is being delivered requires us, as architects, to transform the way we work with our internal and external teams.  Depending on the project delivery method, it can have a profound impact on our processes and interactions with construction partners.

The presentation will discuss the following topics:

  1. The difference between a traditional design process versus a BIM design process
  2. The benefits of BIM, if executed correctly
  3. Some of the challenges in delivering a successful BIM project
  4. Design-Build BIM process case study: Center for Mental Health & Addiction – a Fraser Health project

The format will be brief presentations followed by a moderated Q&A session. The moderator will pre-select questions from those submitted by attendees via the Q&A chatbox.

The Presenters are:
