PHASE I
OUTLINE
meeting planning constraints and forming base for complex modeling
BIM
– model evolution analysis
– creating framework for sustainable modeling environment
– setting up shared coordination system
– linking external models
– setting out levels, grids and model boundaries
– defining worksets and delegating ownerships
– preliminary phasing
– defining global parameters
– parametric massing
– identifying repeating geometry for preliminary typologies
– simplified envelope modeling
– internal space planning
worksharing management
-
model files above 500 MB are becoming potentially workflow and hardware constraining
-
without clear ownership users working on one file can start locking each other making files more prone to errors during data exchange
geometry management
-
fragmenting model into individual parts like sites, blocks, or phases organize timeline and model structure
-
spiting geometry into packages like cladding, communal internal spaces, separate basement, roofs etc gives clear contextual division
-
model split into subcontractors responsibility packs helps to organize delivery 4D process
context management
-
creating external library or keeping same families in one file reduces risk of using outdated or conflicting information
-
critical elements like grids levels, reference planes in separate admin link can reduces risk of casual change and brings unity across files
-
main massing kept independently reduce risk of casual change
-
modular divisions ie brick coursing forming modular framework
-
coordination file in form of model copy or Revit copy/monitoring tool for consultant coordination
architectural content divided by its location in the model space for example lower/ upper/top floors
content split into separate construction sets like cladding, internal or communal spaces
content divided into sub-contractor’s packages eventually to be replaced by their models
content divided by construction phases like separate sites, blocks or buildings
