BIM - Theory and practise

The lack of cohesion among professionals in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector has been a significant hindrance to both productivity and collaboration. Therefore, there is a drive to revolutionise the construction sector, particularly due to the UK Government’s directive to implement digital information delivery and Building Information Modelling (BIM) in publicly procured projects. The objective of this evaluation is to facilitate comprehension of the intricate process of interdisciplinary cooperation within a digital model-centric setting. Moreover, through the examination of these models, it is anticipated that one will gain a deeper comprehension of the interdisciplinary ramifications associated with the implementation of digital information models among diverse stakeholders and design fields. Here are examples of examination of the models to extract valuable information.

Generative Design and Automation Generic algorithms and evolutionary systems provide a framework by which locally optimal solutions can be searched for within a nearly infinite generative field of variation. (Kensek, 2014). Using these types of tools such as Dynamo, Generative designs, python etc., infinite possible solutions is generated and here are some examples: Sustainable façade creation, Space planning, Documentation, Architectural building forms, Application programming Interface Structural framing, Construction planning and sequencing. In this particular script, The percentages of space programs such as housing, office, utilities along with construction costs is being calculated. By defining the surface, inputs (Levels, Restrictions) outputs and also the creation of levels with respect to the construction Cost calculations. Acquired results are endless which we can optimize, randomize and visualize results in a matter of time. This helps different stakeholders to minimize their time efforts in design ideas and alterations.

Daylight Strategies Sun path diagrams, shading and shadows (for large-scale urban planning all the way down to louvre design and daylight harvesting studies), isolation/radiation (Kensek, 2014). We can analyze and interact by design improvements considering factors such as positions and elements to design (Façade designs, openings). As per the stages, the model defines its level with respect to the data it contains. Not only can BIM data can be used for simulations, but model is also useful for creating exhibits required for LEED and other Green Building rating systems

Energy Analysis Compliance with regional or international building energy efficiency codes (BREEAM, LEED). ASHRAE 90.1 App G – Preliminary early energy modelling (This is not meant to predict the final product results). Every stage requires a certain data to simulate energy analysis. For instance, Conceptual massing, Analytical spaces, Analytical surfaces with respect to Pre design, design and construction stages. Thermal loads – The heat energy that needs to be added or maintain thermal equilibrium and control moisture for occupant comfort. (CIBSE,2015) Internal loads – Heat from people, Equipment, Lighting External Loads – Heat from Sun, Air, Moisture. By active and passive systems the amount of energy added or removed to maintain thermal comfort and control moisture. Increase model resolutions as necessary. For example, the areas are not properly defined in the first model. Establish the designers energy and environmental performance aims, both the building and for any specific features that are likely to impact strongly on performance. (CIBSE,2015) There are various strategies to reduce the energy consumption of a building. Such as : window to wall ratio, shading devices, Infiltration, Occupancy controls, plug load efficiency, HVAC and PV efficiency.

Clash Detection The Information maintenance and design model integrity (incl. reliance on a single information source and clash checking).It is crucial to specify useful subcategories to compare against. By grouping of clashes with respect to the element and its id, that greatly reduces the waste of rework. Preventing the clashes is far better strategy than fixing those that could have been avoided in the first place. (Shepherd, 2019) Reporting and Grouping clashes with proper documentation of locations, element id and clash point reduces the risk of complications. Interference are classified as a “hard interference” when two objects actually are in the same place at the same time and “soft interference” where the tolerance is given around an object and another object intersects that safe zone. Trade coordination through the meaningful application of BIM can reduce clashes. (Kensek, 2014) A exhibit detailing MEP coordination and drawings is part of their standard contract that details these items and others : Specifications of drawing by trade with specific requirements for items to be shown on the coordination shop drawings for plumbing, fire protection, electrical, HVAC, and secondary subs.(Kensek, 2014). Subcontractor competency in digital design and versions of software. Requirements for 3D models, formats ,and model structures: file formats, solid modeling requirements, model structure, layer names, trade colors, self-intersecting models, file naming conventions, FTP site folder structure. Coordination meeting structures.

Model Checking

Construction sequencing

Solibri Model checking tool is the best in identifying the model inaccuracies and non standard elements. Here are some examples :

Construction sequencing using a BIM (Building Information Modeling) model refers to the process of visualizing and organizing the construction activities in a virtual environment to optimize the construction sequence and improve project planning. By incorporating BIM into construction sequencing. Time and resources savings: Construction sequencing with BIM enables the analysis and improvement of project schedules, enhancing both cost and time savings. Project teams can find opportunities for schedule compression, resource optimisation, and effective use of labour and equipment by analysing the flow of activities, potentially saving time and money.

BIM Validation – Architectural (Components check, structure check, clearance, deficiency detection)General Space checks (Space properties and location) Intersections between architectural components (same and different kind of components) Advance space checks (Spaces must have enough window area) – space properties and requirements.

Common Data Environment The Common Data Environment (CDE) a single source of information for any given project, used to collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved projects documents for multi-disciplinary teams in a managed process. (Shepherd, 2019) Establishing a CDE, i.e. a secure, managed and mutually accessible project repository capable of storing and sharing all models and issuing update notifications about them to project participants. There are four major categories of information exchanged through the CDE :Work in Progress, Shared, Published Documentation (As approved by the client), Archive

Conclusion From the BIM (Building Information Modelling) model, Its possible extract useful information that can be applied to various tasks, including analysis, forecasting, and addressing problems with clash detection, model verification, and passive design measures. However, there is still potential for development in terms of BIM maturity regarding the data needed for operation and maintenance, often known as COBie (Construction Operations Building information exchange). However, it’s important to note that the industry is actively working towards enhancing the integration of COBie within the BIM work flow. Efforts are being made to develop standardized data templates, improve software interoperability, and promote better understanding and implementation of COBie data requirements. As BIM adoption continues to grow and mature, it is expected that the integration of COBie will also progress, enabling more efficient operation and maintenance of buildings through BIM technologies.

2. Information Management

ISO-19650

(client project management consultant )

Abstract The application of standardized digital information management process in a housing project for a public sector client involves awareness of contracts, procurement and information management strategies. As a client project management consultant, it is my responsibility to help the client understand BIM so that the design, construction, and operation of the digital built environment can be facilitated. This involves using collaborative multidisciplinary practices, such as communication with the project’s key stakeholders, coordination and clash detection, integration, and management of people, process, and information.

Introduction Over the past ten years, the AEC sector has been following a global trend in the digital transformation of the built environment and asset life cycles. Building information modelling (BIM) brings value to the built asset and facilitates in a wide range of ways throughout the project lifetime. This is extensively a response to the national government’s mandate for BIM and digital information delivery on centrally procured projects. In the procurement of a new housing project the client expects that the project cost and time is estimated, managed and delivered at the right stages of project in alignment to the standard delivery process defined by the government. Additionally, better procurement, construction, and information exchange methodology is to be adopted which in turn improves the efficiency the project. By adding value to the project by adopting lean management in logistics and also asset management strategies. This modern methodology of digital transformation in BIM assists in managing information in every stage of the project life cycle. This report aims to develop a systematic understanding of knowledge on whole-life value and better outcomes from their portfolios of built assets through the procurement of better-quality digital information and also develop a strategy for functional integration and decomposition of design or construction to effectively introduce advanced technology.

Completion Summer 2022. The Forge, located at 105 Sumner Street in Southwark, London, aims to be the first commercial structure constructed and operated in accordance with the UK Green Building Council’s (UKGBC) framework for net zero carbon buildings and related energy performance standards, and it offers ground-breaking approaches to the global warming problem. Thanks to funding from Innovate UK, Landsec is developing the first office block ever planned and built using the “kit of parts” approach based on a structural frame that is “Design for Manufacturing and Assembly.” This lowers the amount of on-site waste and the use of natural resources, in contrast to traditional building, where up to 30% of materials end up in landfills. In comparison to a conventional structure, it also reduces embodied carbon emissions by 25%. 31

The platform system, known as P-DfMA (Platform for Design, Manufacture and Assembly), consists of a set of components that can be efficiently combined to produce highly customised structures. The system's foundation of repeatable procedures and standardised connections makes it possible to construct various types of environments with just a single "kit of parts" (Fig 21). The P-DfMA system makes use of standardised components that are put together with a 'kit of parts' technique. It is anticipated that the undertaking will be finished forty percent more quickly by making use of this innovative building procedure as opposed to finishing a commercial project of a comparable scale utilising construction methods that are more conventional. "The Forge is creating new industry standards for building that is both environmentally friendly and economically effective. According to Neil Pennell, Head of Design Innovation and Property Solutions at Landsec, "the use of an innovative P-DfMA structure and 'kit of parts' approach is a world-first for a commercial office project."

Offsite Manufacturing

Construction Assembly on site

A Sub assembly workstation (SAW) is a collection of assembly activities that have been ergonomically engineered to build a platform in the most effective and efficient way possible. Creation of multiple zones within the ceiling void for ductwork, pipework, cable trays, lighting, etc as seen in images below. Increases the overall volume of the work; Creation of multiple zones within the ceiling void for ductwork There would be tremendous advantages to be gained from the development of well coordinated ceiling cassettes (fig 22), which would combine structural, architectural, and MEP elements into a single assembly and be compressed. (Wood, 2018)

To construct the buildings, the P-DfMA approach employs a frame solution that is a combination of steel and concrete. Steelwork was selected for the principal structure because of the rapidity with which it can be delivered, and also because the beams and columns can be built off-site. This choice was made by the project's philosophy of industrialised construction.

Fig 22 - diagram shows the cassette model

A significant reduction in work at height; a better quality installation as a result of assembly on a workbench; a reduction in the overall depth and volume of the asset; a dramatic reduction in the amount of time required for installation on site as a result of lifting multiple elements in a single operation; the ability to easily mass customise the product by making use of standard components and processes. Thus, designing SAWs should employ the simplest assembly methods available. The platform development philosophy of using as little manufacture as feasible minimises labour and trades, amplifying this impact. SAWs need no building experience or training by keeping jobs simple. SAWs might "decompose" and "recrystallize" deals. SAWs can train low-skilled workers to make "Super-blocks," as seen in the sub assembly case study. (Wood, 2018)

The ComFlor ceiling mould is positioned in the ceiling 3. All of the connections and fittings are examined. 4. Concrete is poured into the moulds. The ComFlor® Beam profile provides improved floor-to-ceiling heights and other benefits. When paired with an integrated services solution, the trapezoidal shape provides a shallow beam that minimises the structural and services zone and maximises space height and apparent volume. ComFlor® Beam simplified reinforcement details and support continuity, especially around columns. Cut-tolength ComFlor parts are available. This improves structural frame correctness. The ComFlor profile's form and width allow large diameter reinforcing bars to be used and protect the down stand beam against corrosion permanently.

Fabrication & Intelligent Systems

New Paradigms in Industries and Commerce

Utilising simple materials with as little production as feasible has been one of the guiding concepts in the development of the platforms thus far. This has important financial ramifications since the residual asset value is very high because the conversion cost is so minimal, as opposed to putting the steel through many manufacturing processes and paying substantial labour, overhead, and shipping expenses.

The outcomes of a particular project could be employed to optimise the utilisation of components in subsequent projects, leading to the development of assets that gradually occupy the upper-right quadrant of the efficiency versus effectiveness chart. This method would be highly suitable for implementation on platforms. This would additionally enhance the advantages of sensors in “smart” assets, which currently gather data on the performance of highly specific assets, thereby increasing their significance. Alternatively, if the data were employed to educate the advancement of the ensuing cohort of platform constituents and their optimal arrangement, it would enhance the learning and feedback mechanism. The implementation of digital work flows has the potential to significantly reduce the occurrence of repetitive tasks, thereby affording design professionals with additional time to engage in value-adding activities. This includes exploring a broader range of design forms and concepts, as well as dedicating more time to comprehending the functional outcomes associated with novel assets. (Wood, 2018)

Circular economy When standardised components reach the end of their useful lives or when an asset’s requirements change, it would be simple to re-purpose or reconfigure them since the relevant performance data would be straightforward to obtain. It’s possible that having the option to recycle components back into a circular economy will give designers greater leeway to be innovative. If architects were not required to construct anything with a lifespan of sixty years, and if it was likely that the building would be re-purposed after twenty years, this would allow unprecedented flexibility in design, and it would also encourage more sustainable practises.

Conclusion

Fig 26 - detials for assembly

The use of low-fabricated components and connecting brackets eliminate the requirement for skilled trades during assembly; instead of professional steel erectors, the frame may be bolted together by experienced workers (this was shown during the prototype phase). The platform approach is 12% cheaper than flat slab concrete and 34% cheaper than a composite slab steel frame(fig 27). This saves a lot, although the superstructure only accounts for a percentage of the building cost. However, The platform approach would enable a range of additional benefits that flat slab construction does not, such as providing a highly accurate frame that will facilitate the use of other platform components (façades, MEP, fit-out) that will continue to amplify the time and cost benefits. Platform 2 would also facilitate the other initiatives set out in this book relating to UK manufacturing capability, diversifying the skill set. (Wood, 2018)

This report summarize the Forge 105 Sumner Street, Southwark, London aims to achieve a significant milestone by becoming the inaugural commercial edifice to be built and managed in accordance with the UK Green Building Council's (UKGBC) framework for net zero carbon buildings and its corresponding energy performance objectives. The project is introducing pioneering measures to address the pressing issue of climate change. By implementing innovative construction techniques to construct the world's inaugural office building that utilises the "kit of parts" approach, which is based on a structural frame designed for manufacture and assembly. This project has been made possible through funding received from Innovate UK. The implementation of this approach leads to a decrease in the utilisation of natural resources and the generation of on-site waste, which stands in contrast to conventional construction practises that result in the disposal of up to 30% of materials in landfills. The construction process is resulting in a 25% reduction in embodied carbon emissions as compared to a conventional building. The expectation within the built environment industry is that The Forge will serve as an exemplar project for other developments, thereby facilitating the justification for additional net zero buildings among developers.

Project : Urban study - Pallavaram University : Anna University Course : Bachelors in Architecture Scheme : As a group, we were introduced to the urban case study of Pallavaram, a town in Chennai, India. Initially, we gathered the required data, such as socio-economic information, historical background, transportation details, growth patterns, and land use. From our analysis of this data, we were able to identify potential areas for growth as well as associated risks. The urban study highlighted a clear ecological imbalance in the region. Therefore, it became crucial to undertake urban revitalization efforts and restore the remaining fabric of the town. The proposal focused on three main aspects: a) Ecological Hub: This involved restoring the ecological aspects of Pallavaram, ensuring the preservation and enhancement of natural resources. b) Urban Hub: The urban hub aimed to revitalize the existing urban fabric, providing opportunities for economic growth, social development, and improved quality of life for residents. c) Water Hub: Given the significance of water bodies in Pallavaram, the proposal included the development of a sustainable waterfront. This would incorporate elements such as natural surroundings, pavilions, picnic lawns, and bird-watching areas. Moreover, special attention was given to ensuring the feasibility of expanding the lake during the monsoon season. These measures were intended to address the ecological imbalance, promote sustainability, and rejuvenate Pallavaram as a thriving urban centre.
