Increasing demand for digitally integrated design and execution in the building and construction industry places great demands on the establishment of data environments. Processes and organizational measures must be established that support project execution, where data loss is avoided, where the entire project lifecycle is considered, and where it can be monitored and analyzed directly from models. At the same time, customers and partners want to follow the project development to a greater extent on a transparent data platform in new forms of collaboration, such as alliance and integrated project delivery (IPD). Add to this the fact that automation is to a greater extent a crucial competitive parameter and an important factor in reaching project deadlines. This presentation describes how a project can be established organizationally and digitally to achieve a high degree of seamless collaboration across disciplines, companies, and software. It also describes some of the digital solutions that have been established, as well as some ambitions for where the project is going for the next seven years. The article is based on the Fornebubanen, which is a multidisciplinary project with 52 disciplines and a construction budget of just more than 1.6 billion Euros. The goal is to have the most information such as bills of quantities, commercial requirements, CO2 imprints, classification, and operation and maintenance information linked directly to the models. These models are combined into several coordination models for a holistic and multidisciplinary representation of the total digital project. Processes, quality assurance, ICE (simultaneous design or "integrated concurrent engineering"), design reviews, tender basis, and execution basis are all based on the project's digital 3D information models. These collaboration models are produced as geographic information system (GIS) models for overall understanding and as technical collaboration models for issue handling and technical assessments and communication. Gamification and a digital asset model will be presented to the stage it has been developed.

With Revit software and Advance Steel software, structural engineers have tools available to enable them to take their designs past construction documents and into fabrication and construction. Construction schedules are faster, integrated project delivery is more common, and the Who, How, and When of structural shops drawings and fabrication models are changing. This presentation will show how US-based structural engineers who already create their design models and drawings with Revit software can use this same software to create shops drawings from their fabrication models for rebar, precast, and structural steel, and also create concrete lift drawings. Attendees will learn why these services are offered, how engineers can offer them, and best practices to follow to offer Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based structural shop drawings. This session features Revit Structure and Advance Steel. AIA Approved

The use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in an engineering consultancy company is very much a question of predicting field problems in order to anticipate resolutions and thereby avoid rework, delays, and possible negative impacts for the client. Using BIM, as well as Autodesk tools, has enabled us to reach this level of maturity of delivering value to the end customer in order to ensure that some studies and concepts can be virtualized and stressed in advance, causing the least possible impact on the constructions. The objective of using BIM in a consultative engineering company is certainly given by the role of manager; therefore, we have as main characteristics of use the thought of monitoring and managing the enterprise, using the models for validations and changes in scope, planning assistance, attack plan analyzes, earth-moving analyzes, and so on.

Within the industrial water market, it can be a real challenge to bridge the gap between tools that are great for designing buildings and tools that are great for designing process plants. Achieving design synchronization between spatial and schematic designs with a high level of confidence is the ultimate goal. However, producing process schematics and spatial drawings and managing the equipment data becomes complex when dealing with traditional data silos in current project execution processes. True data-driven workflows will require innovation and disruption to achieve next-level results. This is one story of how Revit software, Dynamo, and Forge have helped us look at this traditional problem from a new perspective. We’ve solved some longstanding challenges, and we still have some unanswered questions, but we’re excited and optimistic about the possibilities for the future.

The promise of BIM is that it makes the design and construction of a building more efficient and, over time, it reduces its overall lifecycle costs. At the same time, setting up and delivering your first BIM project can be a major endeavour for any MEP design firm. However, after BIM is used for a first project, the necessary tools, procedures, and know-how will be already in place for the next project. Relevant technology, good practices and cooperation with other stakeholders come as a standard in all projects. This is true even if they are not needed in all projects yet. The basic demand is to have a building completed in a fast and cost-efficient way, on time. In addition, construction projects must now take into account sustainability and environmental impact. The end user’s needs are taken into account sooner. This session will take into account this complex web of demands weighing on the MEP design and its role in each phase of the BIM process: design, procurement, construction and maintenance. In addition, we will discuss how to reach the following benefits:•Reducing costs throughout the business processes via a rapid exchange of design information–different scenarios can be explored faster, allowing for more iterations. The outcome? A more robust design and a more efficient decision-making processes overall•All design work captured in one comprehensive model in 3D format, keeping them all together in a single environment, rather than relying upon individual drawings•The production of necessary engineering calculations done quickly and easily•All geometric and spatial data required to perform energy calculations produced directly from the model•The demands of being able to demonstrate environmental compliance eased; reducing the building’s lifecycle costs•Integration of cost (5D) and scheduling (4D) data enables online cost estimation and visualisation of the construction, over time•Accurate Bills of Quantities produced directly from the model. The data required to control procurement can be linked directly from the model, optimising the whole procurement process•Integration of interoperability further into the BIM environment•The detailed model contains all data and geometry required for installation of the MEP systems•Once the building is completed, the next version of the model will inform all facilities management (FM) decision-making and systems, including linked data specifically for FM

This session will introduce LotSpec, an Option Management add-in which automates “Lot-Specifics” within Revit and AutoCAD Architecture. We will be interviewing a LotSpec user from Smith Douglas Homes. The session will discuss the pain points home builders face and how LotSpec can help ease the burden of site specific architecture. We will cover how LotSpec can automate the process to improve organization, project management, and estimating by providing concise drawings. LotSpec uses a rules-based workflow to assign logic to project elements. The automation process assists in eliminating combination errors and reduced red-lines.

Industrialized construction is here to stay; prefabricated elements in the built environment and the design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DfMA) process that enables it are fast becoming the norm across all sectors. So why is it that most of the case studies and best practices we see relate to volumetric modular construction of housing and hospitality? What about the vast but largely unsung impact of advanced building products, single-trade assemblies, and multitrade assemblies that make up the majority of the market? This panel will invite leaders from across the prefabrication continuum to explore why it's not just about modular.

The handover of a 3D model is an old standard practice in the industrial plant market-one that nowadays has to be integrated with the Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach. This presentation will walk you through the journey that an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor took by implementing BIM inside its typical design workflow for an $800 million petrochemical plant in the Middle East. We will demonstrate how to perform civil and structural design using Revit software from conceptual up to construction documentation delivery, and how to take full advantage of 3D modeling for plant project coordination and information management. Thanks to this method of collecting and delivering model data in an efficient manner, it's possible to recognize potential risks, impacts, and conflicts-and to take action in order to bring the project to success. Finally, the class will briefly discuss the project and process BIM implementation benefits, together with the related risks for a general contractor.

The class will show the experience of BIM implementation with Revit in an architecture and engineering firm. The strategy and the investments to do, the possible problem and solutions, the schedule and the goals to achieve. The case studies and the pilot projects are essential to BIM implementation; this class will present many special real case studies from the Bulgari New Jewelry-Making Center (finalist at AEC Excellence Awards 2016) to the residences in Masdar City, showing the critical points and strengths of this BIM project.

Digital twins for building owners are emerging tools for facilities management, operations, and maintenance. The large benefits of digital twins to overall businesses beyond traditional practice are just being realized. As an iteration of digital twins from the digital manufacturing, product, and machine space, the current industry definition is this: Digital twins are software representations of assets, and processes that are used to understand, predict, and optimize performance in order to achieve improved business outcomes. Digital twins consist of three components: a data model, a set of analytics or algorithms, and knowledge. This roundtable will be jointly hosted by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts (WDPR), Brandon Wlosinski and Autodesk Consulting, and Dorian Chau to explore, define, and understand what digital twins mean for the building industry today. Bob Bray, senior director at ConstrucTwin at Autodesk, will provide his insights to the roundtable, as will other invited enterprise building owners.
