3 Summary The Advanced BIM webinars (series of three) include 1) Setting up Navisworks Files & Working with Clash Reports; 2) Communication & Meetings; and 3) Documentation and Taking the Model to the Field. Advanced Navisworks is designed specifically for SMACNA members eager to learn the essential concepts of 3D Clash Detection and MEP Coordination. Advanced Navisworks is specifically designed for sheet metal contractors wanting to increase their knowledge and proficiency in Navisworks. This series of webinars will increase your knowledge of the software while providing information on how to leverage Navisworks for 3D Coordination and Collaboration.

4 Summary Other Collaboration Tools Available

5 Learning Objectives Part II Communication & Meetings covers: Understanding the team s capabilities Communicate Effectively with Coordination Team Space Allocation & Understanding Building Constraints Prepare for Meetings Jobsite Meetings vs. Web Meetings (Required Attendees) Attacking RFI s Updating Clash Reports BIM Execution Plan BIM Issue Log

6 Polling Questions? Has your firm facilitated a 3D MEP Coordination Effort?

7 Understanding the Team s Capabilities Who are the Project Stakeholders? Architect / Engineer Structural Fabricator MEP Trades Other Specialty Contractors What Software will be used by each party? BIM Experience of each Stakeholder? Who is Modeling What? Provide Technical Support Are there any 3 rd party modelers on the project? Ensure all parties understand their own responsibilities

8 Communicate Effectively with Coord. Team The most important meeting is The BIM Kickoff Meeting Clearly define expectations Err on the side of over communication Review tools and processes with the team BIM Execution Plan BIM Issue Log Coordination Schedule with Milestone Dates File Sharing Site Notification Immediately address any missed posting dates

9 Space Allocation & Building Constraints Detailed discussion in BIM Kickoff Meeting Review above ceiling space available as a group Plans & Model Identify major building constraints Develop plan to address routing Open Collaboration Establish what the immovable objects are Structure Egress Equipment Access Spaces Do Not allow clashes within a given discipline Specialty Contractors models need to be clash free with themselves Communicate sequence of Clash resolution

10 Prepare for Meetings Ensure Model integrity and accuracy before each meeting X, Y, Z Coordinates Object Enablers Work these issues out ahead of time Time Consuming & reduces confidence in the Model Be prepared to provide Technical Support Internal or External Do Not allow Meeting to get derailed by technical issues Establish Support Contacts specific to your project Communicate Meeting Agenda Establish the list of issues to be addressed Assemble all materials necessary to make decisions Request attendance of necessary decision makers

11 Jobsite Meetings vs. Web Meetings Not all jobs are the same Things to consider when scheduling meetings MEP Coordination Schedule Project Complexity Best use of everyone s time Onsite Coordination meetings typically precede or follow progress meeting PM or Foreman direct the Detailer or Modeler Detailer or Modeler updates Model Need to have good Internet Connection Either LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide area network) Pivotal to enable communication, access data, model files and documents

12 Attacking RFI s RFI responses need to be addressed in a timely manner Utilize a BIM Issue Log as opposed to the traditional RFI process Use Model screenshots to better communicate a RFI How will RFI s be represented in the model Color Code Saved Viewpoint Assign responsibility and follow up

13 Updating Clash Reports Utilize Update All Command in Clash Detective Strategically use the clash status tools in Clash Detective New First occurrence of a clash (automatic) Active Previously identified, not resolved (automatic) Reviewed Previously identified, no change required (manual) Approved Approved as is or duplicate of another instance of a clash (manual) Resolved Previously identified and corrected (automatic) Filter clashes to get rid of duplicates Use Grouping tool to identify clashes by a specific area How will clashes be reported Viewpoints HTML or XML Use Comment tool to propose solution Try to avoid multiple parties addressing the same clash Follow up to make sure things are getting done

14 BIM Execution Plan Company Level Phased Process Assessment Needs & Opportunity Are you missing out on projects or unable to pursue projects because you don t have BIM capabilities Existing BIM Capabilities Do you have competent staff to Lead Is your IT Department ready for BIM Hardware, Software, Communications upgrades? Who will be BIM Champion? Current employee, outside expert Development Develop a dynamic BIM Execution Plan Team activity, not an individual Should be written to be editable as your BIM capabilities improve Develop BIM process guidelines Share vision with entire company change not popular Report Results Select Software Training

15 BIM Execution Plan Project Level Still a Phased Process Assessment Pick a Pilot project and do some BIM Usually Clash Detection Development Study Results and make improvements Measure ROI Improve & Refine - Do some more BIM on another project 4D Scheduling Animate Installation Sequence Continue to Assess, Develop, Measure & Refine
