(Math/Data proofs are universal, everyone is on the same screen) 3. Sequencing, planning & Scheduling now plugs directly into google sheets. MS project is overkill (see Example) 4.Automate changes/updates, checking, costings and Optimisation thru scripts and python connections 5.Don't confuse architectural only BIM with Engineering BIM, the first gives you an image without Data and proofs, mainly used in marketing.It has evolved into the second and is used every day on site by clients, builders and tradies on mobile devices, The complete AEC BIM (Building Information Modelling) Process is Architectural->Engineering->Construction when specifying/using BIM Don't stop at architecture, if you do, you won't be getting the best results Here's an old example of 2S MS Project hth Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Detailed sequence of trades and tasks for new owner buil 7Feb 05, 2019 9:25 am Thanks SBG, A few questions about BIM: - If your designer doesnt support it, can you import a DWG and make it BIM ready? - For an OB, apart from costings, what are the major benefits? Ie. If the trades you trust / prefer dont use it, then whats the point? - Does the BIM acutally give you instructions / concepts? The benefit I see fro constructions books is more the concepts (ie. supporting loads, weatherpoffing) rather than specific instructions (put x here to stop y). - Lastly - whats the cost in converting a non BIM dwg to a BIM ready DWG?

If you are starting from scratch pick the right software as It costs Time & money to covert any 2D Vector to BIM 3D (Solid Modelling Kernel) into a reliable Format. I suggest if your starting a new project pick Parasolid based BIM, as the next software advancement to come is automated simulations 2.Find Builders & Trades that do..... I get requests everyday from builders/trades for Bim Data and Models on projects, I also receive Cr@p file translations from other Architectural BIM Software and asked to extract data and to do the engineering.The same applies to BIM design as with building a house, If you have sh!t geometry & foundations respectively ..then watch out.. The job becomes a nightmare 3.For Instructions/details I use exploded Iso views with labels and notes I have a static (thousand details) book on engineering/Construction/Simulations that I take on site along with an ipad The Interactive 3D view linked to data wins out hands down 4. Cost varies depending on design complexity, data/proofs,Stages, etc I will put up the roof framework/Details/Quants that a builder/carpenter requested yesterday, cost about $350-$400? because the brickwork changed. I have to remeasure,redesign & recalculate the roof Timbers & Cladding for exact ordering quants hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Detailed sequence of trades and tasks for new owner buil 9Feb 08, 2019 7:07 pm Howser Here's what to expect from a BIM Roof Model 2D plans, engineering details, layouts , notes , approximate quantities, cut length, data & 3D Model, etc Apologies for condensing 3 Pages into 1 page OT, The BIM Data can also be used, linked and transmitted to and from site throughout the build for checking,certification, etc More to follow hth Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Always get multiple quotes, no matter how reasonable/cheap you think it is.
