BIM USES ON THE PROJECT
With reference to the BIM requirements on the project, the
following BIM Users have been identified (Penn State University; The Computer
Integrated Construction Research Program,2010)
Design Authoring: A process in
which BIM software/Technology is used to develop a Building Information Model
from available design intent input documentation, incorporating metadata and
other requirements to successfully translate design intent into a BIM.
Design Coordination:
A process in which Clash Detection software is used during the coordination
process to determine field conflicts by comparing 3D models of building systems.
4D Modeling :
Process in which a 4D model(3D models with the added dimension of time ) is
utilized to effectively plan the phased occupancy in a renovation, retrofit
,addition, or to show the construction sequence and space requirements on a
building site.
Existing Conditions Modeling:
A process in which a project team develops a BIM reflecting existing conditions
on the site, including locati0on facilities, graded levels etc.
Site Utilization Planning:
A process that uses construction simulation based modeling to represent both
permanent and temporary facilities on site and related construction activities.
As-Built Modeling:
A process used to depict an accurate representation of the actual condition of
the Building in a BIM.
