Set-Up
What does LOD stand for?
Level of development.
What parties attend the Kick-Off Call?
All trade partners, WT BIM and WT PM & Super.
How can the model be used during the const. phase by the WT team? List at least 2 examples
Pull planning
QC
Daily Huddles
Visuals
What does BIM stand for?
Building Information Modeling.
Trade partners can create shop drawings prior to sign-off being sent out for a coordinated area?
False. This is a risk.
Require purged or un-purged models from design team?
Unpurged.
What document is sent out when BIM coordination is complete?
Sign-off document.
List at least 2 benefits of having a BIM coordinated model.
Pre-fabrication
Reduces RFI's
Schedule benefits
Cost saving in long run by not re-working in field
Minimize accessibility issues
What does VDC stand for?
Virtual Design & Construction.
Both WT lead PM and WT BIM lead to collaborate prior to signing owner contract.
True.
Typical LOD trade partners model to?
Standard is 350 unless noted otherwise in owner contract.
Who provides the "Container for Coordination"?
Architect.
VDC tools that can be used to assist with QC efforts? List at least 2 tools.
Navis (Laser Scanning)
OpenSpace (BIM+ feature)
Cupix (Spatial Collaboration feature)
Revizto (Collaborated online hub/AR feature *FREE with program)
BIM 360 Glue (Download model for field use)
What does BIMEP or BEP stand for?
BIM Execution Plan.
As-built models are being required by the owner nowadays.
True.
Typical trade partners to buy out for BIM Coordination. List all 5 typical scopes.
*Note this is typical - all depends on owner contract.
Steel
Fire Protection
Plumbing
Mechanical
Electrical
How many days to trade partners have to correct open issues once WT sends out sign-off?
5 days.
What 2 types of coordinated shop drawings can be provided by trade partners from the coordinated model?
RCP and sleeve/penetration drawings.
What's included with 4D services?
Schedule.
Weekly coordination calls do not require WT PM or WT Super attendance.
False - BIM Process is a team effort!
What does an LOD 500 model?
Facility Management (non-geometric data).
When does the trade model population timeclock start?
After BIM Kick-Off call.
What happens if a trade partner forgets to add a 20' section of pipe to the model and it conflicts with another trade partner when it's being installed in the field?
Trade partner who did not model 20' pipe is responsible for field coordinated and any costs related for conflicting trade partner to re-work their system.
What does a digital twin mean?
Model to represent real life construction.
AutoCad is considered a part of the BIM process.
No, CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is not considered BIM (Building Information Modeling), though they are related and sometimes used together. CAD is a tool for creating designs, while BIM is a methodology that utilizes information-rich models throughout a building's lifecycle.
