2016 Fall BIMForum Theme:
"What is the New Standard for Professional Coordination?"Examining the changing standard of care for designers, builders, and owners
SESSION HIGHLIGHT:
Systematic Model Review for Effective Coordination
Speaker:
Brendan Nichols
Senior Virtual Building Engineer
The Beck Group

Even though designers may never admit it, building information models can differ from construction documents. Documents represent design intent and the models used to create them are rarely suitable for construction coordination. Coordination issues found in models may not exist in drawings, and even worse, coordination issues that appear in drawings may not appear in your standard 3D coordination workflows. Even at The Beck Group, a construction company that grossed a billion dollar revenue in 2015, our expert coordinators struggled with these issues. Our solution was to review all models for accuracy and consistency with contract documents before coordination.
This session will present The Beck Group’s standard model review for coordination workflow. Real projects will be presented where this workflow was used to prevent some common pitfalls of coordination. This workflow is fast, detailed, and targets the most critical areas for construction coordination. Performing these tests and sharing these standardized documents with all parties has, in the past, resulted in dramatic model quality improvements from one design milestone to the next. As well, it has helped our coordinators know what to trust and what to avoid in each design model.
About the Speaker:Brendan Nichols is a senior virtual building engineer at The Beck Group. Beck’s integrated design-build model enables him to tackle difficult challenges across both architecture and construction. At Beck, Nichols performs laser scanning and Building Information Modeling (BIM), and he supports these processes and workflows throughout the company. After experiencing Beck’s cross-disciplinary challenges, Nichols has written multiple internal Revit software plug-ins to eliminate difficult or repetitive day-to-day tasks. He also enjoys writing scripts and Dynamo definitions to solve some of Beck’s unique problems.

2016 Fall BIMForum Theme:
"What is the New Standard for Professional Coordination?"Examining the changing standard of care for designers, builders, and owners
SESSION HIGHLIGHT:
Finding the Formula for the Perfect Coordination Process
Speaker:
Jim Fitzgerald
Plumbing Coordination ManagerJC Cannistraro, LLC
Since the widespread adoption of BIM across the AEC industry, the growth in demand for prefabricated assemblies and modular building systems has been on the rise. In Boston, where new construction and development is at an all-time high, project teams that are being formed early and embracing prefab and other lean methods are delivering floors faster and rethinking how work is done both on and off the jobsite. Using real project case study examples (both good and bad) Cannistraro, Boston’s largest mechanical construction firm, will outline the steps and/or rules for achieving an ideal project that maximizes collaboration, prefabrication and other benefits of lean construction.

Future of Construction?


​While at the BIMForum in Denver, I have seen some pretty amazing uses of prefab and modularization - though I am tired of the health care examples.

What really stuck me as interesting is the use of pre-fab for parking garages and stadium that can be dis-assemblemed. Yeah, taken apart and moved. Click here to check out the video.

July 18-21, 2011   |   Chicago, IL
UNIT 3: BIM CONTRACT NEGOTIATION & RISK ALLOCATION
July 18, 2011—7:30 AM-5:00 PM
BIM Contract Negotiation and Risk Allocation is a full-day course that examines BIM and contract terminology to determine best practices for integrating BIM use into project contracts.
Hot-button issues such as standard of care, intellectual property rights, and insurance and surety bonding coverage are discussed to help participants become BIM champions within their organizations. It is assumed that all participants have had exposure to basic BIM concepts and terminology through attendance in BIM 101.
UNIT 4: BIM PROCESS, ADOPTION, & INTEGRATION
July 20, 2011—1:30-5:30 PM, July 21, 2011—7:30 AM-Noon
BIM Process, Adoption, and Integration is a full-day course that provides a foundation for participants to establish and execute the BIM process, facilitate its adoption, and achieve integration on a single project and at a company level to execute multiple BIM projects simultaneously. These tools will help establish participants as BIM champions within their organizations.
This course is developed for those who have had significant exposure to BIM tools, mechanics, theory and processes and want to learn best practices to implement it into construction projects and firms. It relies on a highly participatory learning environment including case studies, classroom discussions, and instructor-led discussions.

The mission of the BIMForum is to encourage increased collaboration to the project delivery process in the AEC industry by facilitating the adoption and use of BIM technology and processes through education and the promotion of enabling technologies and methods. www.bimforum.org

BIMForum Summer 2011 New Dates: Call For Presentations

When Does Design End and Construction Begin?
New Dates: July 19-21, 2011   |   Chicago, IL

A consensus is emerging about the benefits of tapping the expertise of consultants, contractors, and facility managers during the early phases of a BIM-enabled project. The intent is to achieve design decisions that are both early and well informed to avoid costly later revisions. But does this necessarily imply that all design effort should be concentrated exclusively at the start of a project? Are late design decisions necessarily detrimental to budget, schedule, and quality? Are changing client requirements and construction volatility such that early decisions are not only impractical but also to be avoided?

If you have direct experience related to the impact of early or late design decisions, we are very much interested in hearing from you. To provide additional clarity, submitted presentations should consider addressing some of the following design related topics:
  • Is the idea of good early decisions pragmatically an oxymoron and not possible?
  • Is a good decision once made always a good decision?
  • Is it reasonable to expect a fixed functional program from a client?
  • Can all factors that affect design and cost be known early in a project?
  • Do late design decisions always adversely affect a project budget and schedule?
  • How does BIM technology affect the cost and schedule implications of late decisions?
  • Can design realistically progress in an efficient and linear way without iteratively searching for an optimum solution?
  • Are legacy project phases applicable in integrated design and construction?
  • What are valid contractual relationships related to consultant, contractor, subcontractor, and facility manager design input?
  • How can consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and fabricators be engaged in evaluating multiple designs when they have monetary incentives to consider the fewest schemes possible?
  • Are clients willing to pay for additional early design effort by “non-designers”?
  • Are consultants and contractors assuming more the role of the designer in early phases while simultaneously ceding much of their legacy documentation and management roles to subcontractors and fabricators?
  • Where does traditional design leave off and spatial coordination begin?
  • When does spatial coordination morph into design?
  • How can contractors and designers find common ground for design and coordination?
Submissions are due by Friday, May 6, 2011. To submit a proposal, click here.
