BIM Roles and Responsibilities of the entire team when working in an IPD Environment. Explaining how the different team members are utilized efficiently both from a design/engineering standpoint as well as a trade contractor. Incorporation of the Trade Contractors shop drawings into the design/permit set to reduce design time and construction.

TAC will present on the cultural/social issue surrounded with global projects in the design phase and to set clear goals and expectations based on team players in the project. The discussion will focus on two [2] white papers. One of the papers focuses on the development and delivery process changes, needed to meet the coming challenges to the Architectural, Engineering, Construction and building Operations (AECO) industry. The other paper focuses on what is called Value Driven Project Delivery.

During the design phase of this project. Water Works Engineers and PCL Construction utilized BIM technology together as a means to assist and refine the design effort and to facilitate “LEAN Construction Methods”. This BIM model included structural elements, mechanical processes and underground utilities for the entire project campus. We will present this BIM model of the facility and discuss and illustrate how its use proved to be indispensable to the rapid and efficient design required for this project.

Using 3D modeling software, JE Dunn was able to model complex skin details in conjunction with the design team. Revisions to the details based on this exercise increased the quality and long term performance of the building and resulted in zero cost change orders.

This Team's presentation will show how CADsoft Consulting/Hunter Contracting used BIM technology to present the construction phasing of the intersection re-design utilizing the visualization of the Navisworks time liner. This enabled the CADSoft Consulting/Hunter Construction Team to win the project for the Town of Gilbert.

Comfort Systems will walk through the aspects of adding Commissioning to the BIM model. They will show how to use the BIM Model for commissioning, "as-builts" and checking the model for accuracy. This sets the model up for "Facility Management" from the BIM model.

There is a current list of applications that are capable of creating a Building Information Model which would include Revit, NavisWork as well as others and their related applications. Together with the NavisWorks and the IBM Maximo, AutoDesk will highlight the "Life-Cycle" possibilities as it relates to Facility Management and Operations & Maintenance.

The Team has developed a new FM software named ArtrA for 3D BIM models. The project it was developed for is the new CityScape Project in Phoenix. The software embeds 6D information electronically, including "as-built" drawings, operations and maintenance manuals, documentation, commissioning, FM data as well as anticipated service schedules - all in one place, on one model. The new 6D software aids Owners and developers after the CMAR or General Contractor deliveries the building with the Model.
