BIM for Construction Copy

Project Information Model should be intelligent models that have the ability to link individual elements to the material it represents.

This BIM Use includes additional sub-activities such as Bill of Quantity (BOQ) take-off and Bill of Material (BOM) creation.

The expected maturity of the measurements derived from the model must be aligned with the applied LOD (Level of Detail). The higher the Level of Detail provided by the model, the more mature/secure the measurements are.
Cost Management also referred to as 5D modelling, includes sub-activities such as cost forecasting, cost estimation and cost control. This BIM Use allows linking the model to project costs.

This BIM Use is relevant from the end of the design stage to the end of the construction stage.

The purpose of the use is to allow linking the model to project costs. Allowing the model to directly inform: Cost forecasting; Cost estimation; Cost control
The purpose of the use is to allow the linking of the model to the project timeline in order to generate better insights including: Logistics planning; Programme management; Construction sequencing
Construction Scheduling includes sub-activities such as Construction Sequencing, Logistics Planning and Programme Management.

It allows the linking of the model to the project timeline in order to generate better insights, through visualisation and analysis of the construction and prefabrication sequence.
• 4D BIM involves time-related information being associated with different components of an information model.
• For a specific element or work area, that could include details on its lead-time, construction sequence or future tasks/activities
• 4D BIM technologies focus either on the past (what has happened)
• Provide a look-ahead/forecast plan based on experience
• Currently only shows Baseline Vs Actual for the filtered set of tasks
• Need to provide a visual context
• Equipment ID’s to tasks to visualise work by equipment
• Demonstrate baseline and actuals (scrolling through time)
