Building Information Management

NOVEMBER 18, 2014

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

Some people refer to these individuals as Data Managers or Data Leaders. In an Architectural Record article " Getting on Board with Building Information Modeling " Larry Flynn describes a Data Manager as someone "responsible for coordinating the various computer files and models that are integrated into a BIM."

Quantity take off procedure can be enhanced with BIM as estimate of the quantities are derived from BIM models and the model contains the information on all the objects in the building in addition to their dimensions. QTO can be organized to perform any size estimate and for checking a BIM model for precision.

I model in the ceiling plan view because I need the ceiling grid to place my diffusers and miss the lights fixtures. This comes from having AutoCAD drawings in which my ceiling grid and the architects often were different.

Before we dive in, let’s quickly review the four benefits of BIM for engineers: Combines the versatility of 2D documentation with the higher level of fidelity and accuracy of 3D modeling of steel reinforcement and concrete accessories, with minimal effort to produce both.

A multi-dimensional tool, Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves generating a visual model of the building which also manages data about it, at the design stage, throughout the construction phase and during its working life. What is BIM? Introduction.

Contrary to what many think – I’m extremely careful when and how I reference people in my writing that have confided in me in any way. Exactly 2 years after the launch of the First BIG BIM programme, the last modeller left, coinciding with their (now abandoned) BIM tools turning 1 year out of date, as nobody bothered upgrading the software.

And while most builders ironically refer to their homes as “products,” considering their actual construction as a manufacturing process would be a mind shift for most of them and their design teams. Our CAD [computer-aided design] modelers and drafters have become experts in how to build a house,” Carpenter says.

For example Ive tried to draw squares and cubes, even circles and spheres to test the extremes and predict the trigger of the error messages Ive written about before. This manifests itself in snap icons that appear to miss the element we are attempting to reference in the CAD file. Now you can import the files into Revit.

The fact that we can generate elevations and sections easily and that they are derived from the model without drawing them completely from scratch is wonderful. For example, a single panel door will not magically become a double panel door unless someone swaps a single for a double in the model. Schedules are never wrong!
