AMCA Consultant Process
What do you do? • IPD? (Integrated Project Delivery) • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Project_Delivery • Contractors not engaged early enough(typical) • Client not fully BIM aware? • Software (interoperability / data exchange) • Training (do staff require further training?) • All of the above?
How does it all start • Client - concept • Architect provides visual images etc. • Structural involvement (can we build it?) • PDF‘s, hand sketches / Google sketch up etc.. • No 2D or 3D cad • Oh...and lots of “MEETINGS”
Consultant design period Revit / Navis works Concept Arch Begin design Spatial planning Add detail Coordination Issue information Struc Others • Issue • 3D model • Drawings • Schedules Coordinate Does it fit? Liaise with arch and structure • Simple • Routes • Placeholders • PDF's • All plant • Ductwork • Pipework • Electrical Firm up detail Plant Sizes detail 1 2 3 4 5 6
Step 1 • Concept • Client and design team discuss concept. • Produce hand sketches, PDF's • Cad not engaged. • Agree services zoning strategy?

Step 2 • Begin design. • Design begins to evolve from step 1 meetings. • Simple shapes to represent plant items. • Cad may be engaged? • Lots of options.

Step 3 • Spatial planning. • Design evolves from step 2 meetings. • Service routes / strategy are agreed. • Cad and engineers collaborate.

Step 4 • Add detail. • Model all services – duct/pipe/Elec systems. • Plant items are now more accurately sized. • Use AMCA approved content / families. • Appropriate time to use AMCA content? • Generic content.

Step 5 • Coordination. • Accurate coordination between services / structure and architecture. • Information is passed between all members of the design team in 3D format. • Plant items have property fields which may be empty and ready for population by contractors.

Step 6 • Issue Information. • Hand over to contractor – DWG – RVT – PDF – Schedules etc (everything contained within Revit). • Over to Albert Watson who can describe this phase. • Contractor coordinate in Revit / CadDuct? • Fabrication. • Installation.
Summary AMCA agreed objects / families need to be:- • Generic, parametric, robust / well built. • If families are too complex may not be used. • Use of common AMCA families will help transition from consultant to contractor workflow. • We (construction industry) must stop re drawing information and improve work flow. • Cradle to grave solution?
