Construction Project Management: Technology driven answers for schedule and budget savings
OR How to take advantage of BIM
Peter CampotPresident, Berry, a division of Suffolk Kurt Rockstroh, AIA, ACHA President/CEO, Steffian Bradley Architects Stanley Hunter Project Executive, Baystate Medical Center Hospital of the Future
Baystate Medical Center • 638,000 SF clinical facility in Springfield, Massachusetts • New cardiac and vascular center with inpatient beds • Project is predominantly new construction with tie-ins to existing buildings.
Baystate Medical Center • 55% complete • Completion date: October 1, 2011
Project Timeline 2005: Master Plan design started by SBA 2006: Owner/Architect meet and decide not to draw in 3D because of the lack of robust MEP programs 2007: DON Submitted/Berry is onboard 2008: Start of construction - ongoing 2009: March 2009 model started November 2009 model completed • Revisited 3D drawing concept and advantages of BIM • Timing and scale of project was the perfect opportunity to start 3D
How has the use of BIM benefitted the Baystate project?
BIM Benefits: Logistics & Scheduling 2D Logistics for Masonry Elevation for Masonry
BIM Benefits: Equipment Coordination Side view of AHU Door Conflict
BIM Benefits: Equipment Prefabrication Piping assembly for AHU
BIM Benefits: Riser Prefab 80’ length pipe 80’ length pipe Shop drawing
BIM Benefits: MEP Coordination Hanger coordination drawing Hangars in place
BIM Benefits: Mock Up and User Coordination Section of OR Ceiling space before equipment selected
Coordination Phase Concurrent coordination by trades instead of sequential Estimated time savings of 2-3 months in coordination Clash Detection Sped process to identify, communicate and resolve conflicts Multiple trades coordinate simultaneously while checking conflicts between each other CM’s engineer stronger role in coordination between trades Early installation Expedited hanger and core installation using GPS systems along with BIM Increased off-site fabrication Pre-fabrication mechanical risers, PRV stations, HVAC and Plumbing mains, HW and Steam piping configurations Allowed “no-fly” zones for coordination to maintain space for: Access points for maintenance Equipment requirements in development, such as unistrut for booms and lifts Owner’s Viewpoint
BIM Integration with Operations & Maintenance programs Space management database Preventative Maintenance program Life Safety survey for JCAHO O&M Manual incorporated into BIM Live as-builts incorporating submittals and as-builts into model as we go Inclusion of site photos into BIM before closing walls Provides in-wall details for future renovations & fit-outs Standard Specification for future projects Model ready for design process on next phases of fit-out Facilitate communication between designers and CM team in pre-construction Estimating, Options development and Scheduling Increase sped, accuracy for cost estimates and take-offs Quantify and model potential options and changes more accurately and quickly Scheduling using BIM Items We Are Working On
Software Compatibility Conversion and input of files between software used by design, CM and Owner Which software will become industry standard? Major Fixed Clinical Equipment Import of BIM model of major fixed clinical equipment would expedite coordination between equipment, structure and MEPs Generally this information is not currently available Knowledge Varied level of use by design professionals and sub-contractors Engaged Participants We have had several brainstorming sessions on the capabilities and goals - people are engaged and willing to try ideas Lessons Learned
1. Revit Model that includes the following: Architecturals that include all revisions Structurals that include all revisions MEP drawings that include all revisions Curtainwall system including all u-values used for energy analysis Room, door and finish schedules 2. Navisworks 3D Model All major equipment tagged with the following data: a) Submittals b) O&M Manuals c) Commissioning sheet for each piece of equipment Proposed 6D Solution
3. Traditional 2D as-built drawings 4. Complete electronic record that includes all project correspondence and communication including the following: All submittals All shop drawings All warranties All drawings Proposed 6D Solution
