The BIM would provide critical building information to the responders to improve the efficiency of the response and minimize safety risks. The dynamic building information would be provided by a BAS while the static building information, such as floor plans and equipment schematics, would reside in a BIM model. These two systems would be integrated via a wireless connection and emergency responders would be linked to an overall system. The BIM coupled with the BAS would be able to clearly display where the emergency was located within the building, possible routes to the area and any other harmful locations within the building.

Record Modeling Description:

A process in which a 3D model contains an accurate depiction of the physical conditions and environment of a facility and its assets. This has potential to contain information relating to the main architectural and mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) elements and equipment and asset information. Furthermore, with the continuous updating and improvement of the record model and the capability to store more information, the model contains a true depiction of space with a link to information such as serial codes, warranties and maintenance history of all the components in the building. The record model also contains information linking pre-build specification to as-built specifications. This allows the owner to monitor the project relative to the specifications provided.

Potential Value:

Sustainability evaluations can be applied across all four phases of a construction project: planning, design, construction and operation. Sustainability evaluation is most effective when it is done in planning and design stages and then applied in the construction and operations phases.

Model all sustainable aspects of a project throughout its lifecycle to obtain the desired LEED certification in the most efficient manner by condensing design analyses into a single database.

Potential Value:

Design Reviews Description:

A process in which a 3D model is used to showcase the design to the stakeholders and evaluate meeting program and set criteria, such as layout, sightlines, lighting, security, ergonomics, acoustics, textures and colors. Virtual mock-ups can be done in high detail even on building components like façades to quickly analyze design alternatives and solve design and constructability issues. If properly executed, these reviews can resolve design issues with different options to cut costs and time investments. Modifications can also be made after reviews and final demolition and removal expenses are calculated.

Evaluation of the designed space can be facilitated by a high degree of interactivity to get positive feedback from end users and owners. Some of the top evaluation criteria are sightlines, lighting, ADA compliance, safety, security, acoustics, HVAC, ergonomics, aesthetics and millwork tolerances. Real-time modifications of design are enabled based on end user feedback. Therefore, decision-making time is cut in half since the attention focus is on one issue at a time until consensus is reached.

Potential Value:

Eliminate costly and timely traditional construction mock-ups Different design options and alternatives are easy to model and change in real-time during design review with end users and/or owners Create shorter and more efficient design reviews Resolve the conflicts that would arise in a mock-up and model the potential fixes in real-time along with revised tolerances and answered RFIs Preview space aesthetics and layout during design review in a virtual environment Evaluate effectiveness of design in meeting building program criteria and owner needs Create efficiencies in design process Easily communicate the design to the owner, construction team and end users. Get instant feedback on meeting program requirements, owner needs and building or space aesthetics

This process also allows designers to see the cost effects of their changes in a timely manner to help curb excessive budget overruns due to project modifications.

Potential Value:

Precisely estimate material quantities and generate quick revisions Stay within budget constraints with frequent preliminary cost estimates while the design progresses Better visual representation of project and construction elements that need to be estimated, taken off and priced Provide cost information to the owner during the early-decision making phase of design Focus on more value-adding activities in estimating, such as identifying construction assemblies, generating pricing and factoring risks, which are essential for high-quality estimates Exploring different design options and concepts within the owner’s budget Saving estimator time and allowing them to focus on more important issues in an estimate since take-offs can be automatically provided Quickly determine costs of specific objects

Resources Required:

Model-based estimating software Design authoring software Cost data

Team Competencies Required:

Ability to define specific design modeling procedures which yield accurate quantity take-off information Ability to identify quantities for the appropriate estimating level (e.g. ROM, SF, etc.) upfront

Existing Conditions Modeling

A process in which a project team develops a 3D model of the existing conditions for a site, facilities on a site, or a specific area within a facility. This model can be developed in multiple ways depending on what is desired and what is most efficient. Once the model is constructed, it can be queried for information, whether it is for new construction or a modernization project.

Potential Value:

Document existing building for historical use Provide documentation of environment for future uses Enhance efficiency and accuracy of existing conditions documentation Provide location information Aids in future modeling and 3D design coordination Use for visualization purposes

Resources Required:

3D model manipulation 3D laser scanning 3D laser scanning point cloud translation into objects

Team Competencies Required:

Ability to manipulate, navigate and review a 3D model Knowledge of BIM authoring tools Knowledge of 3D laser scanning tools

Selected Resources:

GSA BIM Guide Series 3. 3D Laser Scanning.

9 Quality Control Checklist

Checks Definition Responsible Party

Check Date

Report Attached

Visual Check Ensure there are no unintended model components and the design intent has been followed.

BIM Manager This date is to be identified in the planning stages Xx/xx/xx

The reviewer will be required to submit a report to the BIM

Manager to be attached to this document.

Interference Check

Detect problems in the model where two building components are clashing.

Standards Check Ensure that the BIM and MARTA Design Criteria have been followed (fonts, dimensions, line styles)

Close Out Documents

Ensure all procedures and documentation required for proper close out of a project are complied with.
