PROJECT VISUALIZATION
3D VISUALIZATION CREATED IN BEXEL MANAGER

3.  Visualizations was carried out in the
all design stages. Material used for
better understanding of the project,
design solutions, client
presentations etc.
 3D BIM model used for advanced
visualisations and renderings. Approved
material was used in commercial
purpose.
 Visualizations used for animations,
simulations, on site situations and
analysis.

PROJECT VISUALIZATION

4.  BIM Execution Plan is prepared explaining BIM
uses on the project and benefits of BIM
 BEP includes procedures on how BIM services
implementation, analyses carried out and
deliverables produced – overall implementation
and strategy
 Developing of BIM model includes careful
analysis and reviews of all original design
data.
 Entire design is developed and reviewed in BIM
authoring tools
 BIM data is exchanged in native and open BIM
file formats
 QA/QC procedures and model validations are
done prior to IFC file export and its
consistency validated with BIM validation tools
 Extracted BIM data compliancy is being
verified, with additional analyses if needed

BIM DESIGN AUTHORING AND BRIEFING

5.  BIM models frequently checked and reviewed to meet
client’s requirements
 BIM model data analysed for scheduling and execution
issues
 All BIM models exported into open BIM IFC files and
shared with all stakeholders
 Proposed structural design options were analysed and
validated in BIM
 Using open BIM formats allows for clients to be easily
included in the process
 Some criteria: feasibility, easiness and speed of
execution, cost, local regulations
 After reviews and analyses, approved design option was
almost 47% lighter in terms of concrete quantities
 Additional BIM design review used on the project –
evaluation of specific design criteria
 Developed BIM model was frequently used as a virtual
mock-up because of high level of detail.

BIM DESIGN REVIEW

6.  Over 1200 major clashes were detected
and over 18,000 minor
 All clash detection report were
exchanged with stakeholders using BCF
format
 All BCF data were gathered and used
for forming clear visual reports for
design and construction teams
 All conflicts were resolved before
construction – no time wasted and no
additional works

3D COORDINATION & CLASH DETECTION

7.  Tendering packages and work assignment, with
local/available contractors
 QTO Visual Reports – Part of tendering documentation.
Provided better insight of scope of work to contractors
that had to submit a bid
 QTO Generation – custom selected elements, custom
breakdwon

8.  5D Cost Database
 Uniformat based work items classification
 Cost data and resources productivity rates stored into Cost Items
 Cost Items were assigned to corresponding model elements
 Generation of model based Bill of quantities and financial project
monitoring were enabled
 Construction Methodology Database
 Predefined construction methodologies that are created using
Cost Items from 5D Cost database, with assigned relations and
dependencies between activities.

9.  To create optimized construction
schedule, we used intelligent BIM
driven methodology and unique
software system
 4 main construction phases
proposed, further divided into
different hotel complexes and
buildings
 Detailed BIM construction
methodology items were based on
UniFormat structure
 Developed baseline schedule is
intelligently linked with BIM model
elements generating 4D simulation
 Simulation also contains not just
time/location information, but pricing
and cost information embedded as
well
 Data also used for progress and cost
tracking and cost planning in order to
ensure just in time procurements and
payments

METHODOLOGY DRIVEN SCHEDULING

10.  Data is fluently exchanged between
different programs and stakeholders,
reducing possible risks
 4D & 5D simulations frequently
discussed and reviewed with the client
and main contractors
 4D Simulations notably increased
overall efficiency and workforce
organisation on site (Up to 70% on
building Sensatori A3-A4)
 All planned works completed as per
schedule, grand Hotel opening held
in June 2016

PROCUREMENT PLANNING
 Just in Time Delivery
Model based histograms of materials, labor and equipment allocation
Resources quantification and calculation
 Long Lead Procurement
Generation of accurate procurement plans that were updated according to
construction progress data
 Product Library & Manufacturers Information
Library contains generic families, designer-made families and families of
specific manufacturers available on the market at the moment, each
element with a unique code.

4D/5D PROGRESS TRACKING
 Construction Progress Import
 Interim Payment Certificates
 Schedule Impact Analysis
 Planned vs. Actual Analysis
 Look Ahead Planning

13.  Quality assurance was used to minimize
mistakes and avoid problems during the
construction phase
 Clash detection was used in places in BIM model
where there was possibility of clashes due to
possible documentation omissions.
 All building elements on site were analyzed by
using BIM model
 All elements data was collected and stored inside
BIM model and used for on-site construction
check
 Analysis showed that some of the elements were
not built according to project documentation
 About 120 (from over 500 overall) openings in
were added in project documentation and more
than 400 instalation system clashes were
avoided
 All potential conflicts were resolved before they
could harm construction and cause additional
costs to client

QA/QC CONSISTENCY CONTROL

14. SENSATORI & NICKELODEON HOTELS AND RESORTS PUNTA CANA
COMMISSIONING
 BIM Commissioning for transparent quality control based on
checklists and test, with attached documentation, to ensure
that building is ready for operation
 At the end of the process, a complete asset
list, component registers, links to
procedures, operation manuals etc. delivered
to client in IFC format with respective COBie
sheets.
