Hybrid project coordination – case study
Construction tracking support; plans were uploaded to a shared data environment, laser scanning was performed on-site and construction progress was tracked using Visual SLAM.
Services
BIM project management
Achieving BIM goals – BIM requirements definition, workflow development, design development, BIM implementation, model quality assurance and control, cost management, BIM tendering.
BIM project coordination
BIM construction support – on-site coordination, scan to BIM, clash detection, change management, construction support and follow-up in a common data environment (CDE), quality control, as-built model.
BIM operational support
Practical use of BIM – regular team training and coaching in the day-to-day, practical, multi-faceted use of BIM tools (software, hardware, workflows), together with advice.
BIM strategy
Implementation and use of BIM – corporate audit, external and internal analysis, recommendations and strategy, implementation, process and model maintenance, EIR development.
Plan to BIM
Converting project into BIM– plan checking, 2D plans to information model, impact analysis, and full quality control according to ISO 19650, preparation of BIM documentation (EIR and BEP), BIM expert report.
4D BIM
Scheduling – collision-free construction scheduling, support for prefabrication and construction logistics, 4D simulation, support for safe construction, rapid visualization of changes, and decision support.
5D BIM
Budget – adding cost information to the model, model-based, near real-time updated construction budget, and scheduled cost statement based on the prepared 4D schedule.
6D BIM
Sustainability – engineering-, heat-, smoke-, rescue-, installation- and solar- simulations, life cycle assessment (LCA), value engineering.
7D BIM
Operations and maintenance – BIM model preparation for operations, FM software integration and consultancy, BIM operations model revision, change management.
In the last 200 years, the automotive industry has gone from the tree-axle T-Ford to Tesla, while in the construction industry, most projects are still managed as they were 200 years ago.
The plans are handled on paper and are used as a basis for construction.
It’s saddening and what’s even stranger is that technology is now capable of much better solutions. Paper-based plans have been replaced by BIM models and project platforms that can take the model to the construction site and speed up communication.
Arcoord is a pioneer in this approach.
