Questions about the Design/Construct Process

Does anyone believe that we are doing as good as we can? What would make the process better? How can we make the process more predictable, reliable, and profitable for everyone on the team while making our buildings better, more sustainable, more durable, and more economical? What stands in the way of making it better?

November 16, 2012
Proposition
IF Designers understood construction means, methods, sequences, and details as well as they understand finite element analyses and codes, and; IF they had the means and wherewithal to incorporate those constraints into their design and communicate that design at a level of detail that required no interpretation THEN It would enable vastly improved planning leading to constructing buildings faster, better, more reliably, at less cost - thereby leveraging the perceived value of the designers services resulting in a virtuous cycle of everincreasing returns for owners, contractors, designers, and society at large

Definition HD BIM
HD BIM is a process utilizing a Building Information Model containing the high level of detail and precision necessary to visualize, design, detail, fabricate, and install all elements of a building with sufficient reliability that the interaction of elements, the sequence of construction, and the labor activities can be defined and planned to a level of granularity similar to manufacturing. An HD BIM incorporates multiple HD System Information Models (HD SIMs). System information models must be developed concurrently and together in an integrated environment in order to perform coordination during the design that is currently done in construction.

Once youve seen HD BIM, its hard to go back to regular BIM.

HD BIM
High Definition BIM (HD BIM) incorporates shop drawing level detail into the design model There is only one HD BIM model, and it is used for all life cycle processes. During one short interval in the life cycle designconstruction the model is used to produce shop drawings and support both design and construction processes. This requires explicit consideration of and provision for, means, methods, and sequences during the design phase. This is done today in some design disciplines, i.e., structural engineering and MEP systems engineering

HD BIM . . .
. . . is a disruptive technology The design/construction processes must change to get maximum benefit from the technology. Scope shifts from construction to design Construction knowledge must be deployed to support design we pull the knowledge forward in the process But that isnt enough, means, methods, and sequences must also change

The other IPD Integrated Process Design . . .

. . . a new process must be designed. It starts with questions: Where are the labor hours being spent? What percentage of the labor hours are productive? How can the percentage of productive hours be maximized? How can the productivity of each hour be maximized? How can design be changed to optimize construction? . . . . . . . Its a manufacturing process applied to construction

November 16, 2012

Food for thought . . .

All numbers are estimated: % of project cost from labor: 60% % of labor hours that are productive tool time: < 50% % of productive hours that are spent removing previous work: 10% % of construction cost spent tracking changes & RFIs: 5% % increase in construction cost due to change orders: 10% % of material wasted: 15% . . . suppose you eliminated the inefficiencies in this process.

Food for thought . . .

All numbers are estimated:
Potential reduction in field hours through prefab: 75% Potential reduction in lost time accidents from prefab: 75% Potential reduction in materials through prefabrication: 10% . . . How much labor could we save if we actually focused our design on that as an objective?

November 16, 2012
15
A knowledgeable and Involved Owner is the key. . . . . . It starts with assembling a high performance team that: Designs to minimize the number of labor hours required Designs to maximize the productivity of each hour Plans the work down to the smallest detail Document s in a comprehensive HD BIM model Uses the design model for communicating, coordinating, and controlling the work during construction . . . no one has done this yet

Construction Sequence, Prefabrication, and Level of Detail Conventional Practice

Contract documents reflect a concept design that is based on no particular construction sequence or means and methods
17
IPD with HiDef BIM

The SEOR produces a complete design predicated on the most efficient construction sequence with structure topography and details tailored to optimize construction efficiency, economy, and quality.
USC SCHOOL OF CINEMA I

Design Intent Conventional Practice

The rebar detailers have to interpret the SEORs intent in preparing complete shop drawings. Any questions are resolved using the RFI process. The process takes months.
18
IPD with HiDef BIM

The SEOR produces a detailed model that IS the design intent. The shop drawings can be furnished to the supplier at the time the contract is awarded or the model can be turned over to the fabricator to produce shop drawings

Estimating and Bidding Conventional Practice

Fixed price is an estimate based incomplete details. Subcontractors have to cover risk in price. Final quantities arent known until after shop drawings. Final price is adjusted through change order process based on revised estimates of concept drawings.
19
IPD with HiDef BIM

Unit price is based on exact quantities in the model and adjusted based on actual quantities delivered. This saves all of the overhead of the RFI and change order process. The advantage goes to the subcontractor with the most efficient and cost effective way to fabricate and deliver

Change Management Conventional Practice

Changes are suggested by the owner or contractor, redesign is performed by the design team, sketches may be issued, a new shop drawing and RFI process is begun.
20
IPD with HiDef BIM

The process is set up around the need to efficiently manage change while maintaining a productive construction operation. The SEOR flags potential changes that will conflict with planned construction activities. Changes are made to both the documents and the shop drawings at the same time. Revised shop drawings are issued to the contractor for construction minimizing or eliminating any delay. Change orders are based on delivered quantities

This project has elevated our BIM experience to a new level. Our superintendent was referring to the latest model on a daily basis. He was able to use an IPAD to bring the web accessed model out to the field and share it with the crew. When the field crew starts asking to view the model, it gets the attention of everyone. Even subcontractors that have never used it before were on board. Ryan Bannister, Rudolph-Libbe, BIM Manager Ordinarily, the rebar shop drawings are detailed from documents that are a month old and frequently changing. Keeping the field updated with information is a challenge. On this project, the web model updates were available immediately, so we looked at it every morning before we started work. The shop drawings, coming directly from the EOR, were even better than the model the best information on the job. Mike Keane, Rudolph-Libbe, General Superintendent

Note that the architectural and MEP models are overlaid on the structural model so that coordination between systems occurs continually to design clashes out of the project. This is immeasurably more effective than doing clash detection after then design is complete. MEP Coordination
