What is 5D BIM?

• Visualize the progress of construction activities and related costs over time

• Complete parametric building components within a virtual model

• Displays how changes to materials, layouts, square footage and other design

elements affect the appearance, cost and schedule of construction

• Models facilities at the earliest stages of construction

• Improves management and delivery of projects

Benefits of 5D BIM

3D Perspective Views

• Parametric design saves time and money

• Exposes problems at earlier stages

• Sections, elevations and three dimensional views can be created instantly

• Changes to elements, including materials, costs and construction schedules change

simultaneously

Parametric Elements

• BIM is a promising method for parametric creation of design elements

• Parametric elements allow for the creation building components with minimal effort

• Parametric data allows the element to be easily reconfigured

An element is incorporated evenly across an elevation. If the length of the elevation is changed then the equal spacing of the elements will be maintained. The data parameter in this case is

proportional

Leveraging Data

• BIM contains manufacturer information, pricing, physical and electromechanical data

for many of the devices in the building

• Accurate material schedules can be created from the parametric model elements and

they will change automatically with visual components

• Creates take-offs, usage reports, and shortcuts for photo-real rendering applications

Change Management

• Parametric elements that are changed in one location change in all

corresponding views and locations

• Warnings can also be created between elements

• These warnings can be arranged into an element change report to aid in

coordination

Improved Coordination

• Information about each building component is contained within its modeled element

• Easy access to information

• Improves coordination among team members

• Building element collision can be caught early

• Quickly create sections and elevations of a room without the need to create them

from scratch

• When areas of conflict are identified earlier, conflicts over space are resolved sooner

Value Added Tasks

• The availability of building information aids in the generation of reports that may

be provided to the client as value-added services

• Room drawing snapshots to go hand in hand with a training manual can be

transformed into an online training manual

• New usage scenarios can be explored after occupancy, and new training

demonstrations can be created and sold

Improved Accuracy and Efficiency

• Increased accuracy for quantity takeoffs

• Metadata attached to objects allows for accurate counting and price modeling

• Results in fewer requests for information and change orders

• Integrator scheduling based on material availability and construction progress

can be mapped visually

• Aids in reducing errors and omissions

Quality and Client Satisfaction

• Visual verification of design intent and knowledge sharing through Virtual Design and

Construction

• The quick preparation and handing over of visual information solves the time needed

for communicating complex ideas

Delivery Process Efficiency

• Less time developing designs and more time providing creative solutions for

clients

• A workflow shift should begin to occur in design departments

• Electronic reviews of every portion of the building design are possible

• Virtual conflict resolution saves time and money

Facility Management• Manufacturers, construction data and communications can be linked into one fully

integrated facility dashboard• Facility managers can use BIM to:

• Gather usage data• Prepare maintenance schedules using predictive data• Manage daily operations• Plan for future purchases and construction additions

• Operating parameters, usage data, predictive data, service history, replacement price and links to other manufacturer data, combined with a fully rendered 3D depiction of the equipment creates a powerful tool for facility managers

Limitations of BIM

• Cost of Software and Hardware

• Cost of Training

• Transition from Drafting to Modeling

• Compatibility between software platforms

• Innovation

Successful BIM Implementation

Developing an action plan:

• Existing process identification and

analysis

• Technology analysis

• Personnel analysis

• Cost analysis

• Timeline

• Personnel changes

• Training plan

Midfield Terminal Building

• $3 billion construction contract

• April 2012

• 700,000 Midfield Terminal Building

• Provides passenger and cargo facilities, duty-free shops and restaurants

for up to 40 million people per year

• The complex design of the structure presented major challenges in terms

of engineering, construction and procurement

• Could only be addressed with a complete BIM-driven lifecycle to make

project delivery possible

BIM Scope

• Engineering

• Project controls & Planning

• Contractual & Quantity surveying

• Manufacturing

• Handing over

Lifecycle Activities

Electronic Data Interchange

• EDI was introduced to mitigate interoperability issues to meet the

requirement of information exchange between different systems

• Aim was to share the subcontractors BIM files with those of the

contractors

• Standardized and specified information agreed in advance

• Method of achieving all previous advantages

• Project Work Breakdown Structures • Model naming convention and exchange

procedure• Object Tagging standards and asset

management• Object attributes and database

requirements• Collaboration and integration of

workflows

Sustainability

• Estidama is a building design methodology for constructing and operating buildings and making communities more sustainably

• 3 Pearl Design Rating award from the Estidama Pearl Building Rating System

Energy consumption Construction materials

Waste management

• High performance low-e double glazing to reduce solar gain

• Low U-values specified for the walls and roof to minimize heat gain

• A highly efficient lighting system• An adaptive and effectively

controlled HVAC system

• Diverting a minimum of 75% of construction waste from landfills

• Using recycled materials where practical

• Selecting regional materials to reduce the demand for fossil fuels for transportation purposes

• Recycle 45% of all the waste generated

• Using a BIM model, found that only 20% of

the proposed new crane capacity would be

used, which helped CCC avoid the cost of

new cranes by reallocating existing cranes

accordingly

• CCC simplified handoffs and reduced the

cycle of critical RFIs from 28 days down to

seven days

• Automated clash detection significantly

reduced costs and man-hours
