BIM – Integrating the Design Process
► Design is a Process – How can BIM Help?
Conceive an Idea ► Success of the process
Capture or Express the Idea depends on …
Analyse and Test the Idea
Refine the Idea
Communicate the Idea Quality Information
Get Feedback on the Idea Streamlined Workflows
Validate the idea Feedback Loops
Document the Idea Iterations
Detail the Idea Optimising
Construct the Idea Decision Making

BIM - Impact on Design & Construction
► Benefits of BIM to Projects
Improved Quality of Design/Construction Documentation
Earlier/Quicker Decision Making and “Design Freeze”
Better Pre-Construction Coordination
− Clash Detection
− Accurate Building Performance Analysis
− Accurate Cost & Quantity Analysis
Better Construction Planning
− Fewer RFI’s
− Better Delivery Scheduling
− More Off-site Construction & Pre-Fabrication
− Reduced amount of Re-work on Site
− Improved Productivity/Efficiency on Site
Greatly Reduced Project Risk & Waste

BIM - Impact on Design & Construction
► Accumulated Benefits of BIM
Stanford University, Centre for Integrated Facilities Engineering
Study of 32 major projects using BIM (2007), outlining benefits:
Up to 40% elimination of unbudgeted change.
Up to 80% reduction in time taken to generate a cost estimate.
Cost estimation accuracy within 3%.
A savings of up to 10% of the contract value through clash detections.
Up to 7% reduction in project time.
