Thorough presentation on all components of Virtual Design and Construction using Building Explorer as the primary BIM analysis tool for model cost estimating, scheduling, project management, and clash detection
29. Conceptual VDC Analysis Process 10/28/2009 Time from client/owner feedback to implementation and analysis is significantly less than traditional methods Repeat for each new conceptual version in order to arrive at optimum.
30. 3D Parametric Model Automatic Quantity Takeoff Project Specific Cost Database Location Based Costs Reporting Development of Project Schedules 4D-5D Cost/Schedule Sequence Simulation And Analysis Project Schedule and Resource Analysis Excel Cost Interpretation and Analysis Excel Quantity Data Interpretation 2D Drawing Interpretation
31. 2D CAD 3D Model NOT just a pretty picture Parametric Modeling NOT Rendering
43. VDC at the detail level 3D Detailed Modeling (Arch/Structural/MEP) Highly Accurate Model based Quantity Takeoff 3D Collision Detection and Resolution Model Cost Estimating Model Project Scheduling
