Philip Parker Director of Hames Sharley

1. Introduction. Philip Parker Director of Hames Sharley

2. Introduction. • Hames Sharley • Architects • Interior Designers • Landscape Architects • Urban Designers andPlanners • Office locations • Adelaide • Brisbane • Perth • Sydney • Beijing

3. Why did Hames Sharley introduce BIM? • Introduced BIM in 2005 • Review of current production practices in 2004 • Key issues related to CAD included • Clients demanding shorter programs increasing Hames Sharley risk. • Improve systems/Libraries • Ensure control and consistency • Design phases efficiently handled

4. Why did Hames Sharley introduce BIM? • Contract documentation and contract administration phases indentified as improvement areas • Consistency in standards documentation • Coordination of engineering services • Contract administration performance directly related to quality of contract documentation • Review alternative software BIM, Codebook, Sketchup, Lightwave, office management available

5. Why did Hames Sharley introduce BIM? • BIM POSITIVES • By the very nature of BIM, systems had to be put in place. • Most of the CAD language had been removed ie Layers, xref, paperspace • People constructed a building using materials and objects rather than lines • It appeared quick to document especially for Health, Laboratory and Education which have extensive design guidelines

6. Why did Hames Sharley introduce BIM? • BIM NEGATIVES • Software costly • Workstations would need to be upgraded • Program was complex • Required a heavy investment in training • Productivity would decrease initially • Design stages considered to take longer • No temporary staff available • NO TALK ABOUT COLLABORATION!

7. Implementation Strategy • Directorial responsibility • Implement in one office (Perth) • Aim to prove the software in documentation within 6 months • Implemented on the largest project in the office • Picked a team that was positive to change • Insist on 100% use of BIM even when it is taking longer

8. Initial Results • Very positive signs within 4 months • A drop in productivity did not occur as BIM efficiencies offset the learning curve • Many staff requested to be trained • staff retention • Staff training program accelerated • Decision to move all new projects to BIM after Design Development phase

9. Change Drawing Practices • Review drawing practices • Develop libraries • Scheduling • Finishes • Doors • Develop practices of working with primary design software • Sketchup • 3d studio • Lightwave • Developed presentation skills

19. Fiona Stanley Hospital • FSH Design Collaboration • Hassell/STH/ HamesSharley • Appointed Oct 2007 • 1000 beds • 200,000m2 • $1.7b budget • 10000+ spaces

20. Collaboration • BRIEFING • Linking of brief to the BIM model is a priority • Ability to audit changes in brief • Australian Health Facility Guidelines • Systems • Health facility briefing system – • Blueprint • Codebook

21. Collaboration • FITOUT SIGNOFF • 60% of design phases • Traditional use of plans and wall elevations • Static ‘white model’ images • User interaction with BIM model • Navisworks • Game engine

22. Collaboration • ENGINEERING • In 2007 limited engineers using BIM • First building on FSH we tried to collaborate with structural. • Our lack of experience and the lack of experience of the structural consultant caused this to be abandoned • lessons learned • Agreeing process of exchange/linking of models up front • Type of information consultants require and architects require • Consultant level of experience in BIM

28. Collaboration • FSH central plant (2009) all major services committed to BIM • Engineering consultants • Structural • Mechanical • Electrical • Engineering analysis programs

30. Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth • Over 160 Air Handling Units • Plantrooms designed in REVIT • Coordination is challenging

31. Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth Plantrooms and riser connections

34. Collaboration • SPECIFICATIONS • Specification is contractually dominant to drawings • Changed to keynote documentation • Automatic labelling of materials as modelled • Schedule codes for specifications

37. Collaboration • Investigating working with cost control software – Cost X • Investigate and implement BIM server environments • Consultant service tenders to include BIM collaboration requirements either IFC or REVIT

39. Collaboration • TRADITIONAL effort per stage • SD – 15% • DD – 15% • CD – 40% • CA – 30% • COLLABORATION effort per stage • SD – 15% - 20% • DD – 20% -30% • CD – 20% - 30% • CA – 25% - 30%
