Use BIM for AECO projects
Discover building information modeling (BIM) and its transformative impact on architecture, engineering, construction, and operations of built assets.
Discover how building information modeling (BIM) has made a transformative impact on architecture, engineering, construction and the operation of built assets. By exploring BIM principles and workflows, you’ll gain insights into how it drives efficiency, collaboration, and innovation across all project stages.
After completing this video, you’ll be able to:
- Explain what BIM is.
- Describe how BIM connects multidisclipline teams.
- Explain how the common data environment (CDE) is fundamental to efficient collaboration and project process.
Learn how to navigate the critical stages of conceptual and developed design within the BIM workflow. This video guides you through the process of initial 3D conceptual design using tools like Revit and Forma Data Management, aligning design possibilities with client objectives while addressing client outcome requirements. Explore the evolution of the BIM model as it incorporates architectural, structural, and MEP components, and discover how to manage coordination challenges with tools like Model Coordination in Forma for Construction.Â
After completing this video, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the role of the design phase in shaping project concepts and alignment with client objectives.
- Describe key documentation produced during this stage.
- Describe the importance of early set up of the common data environment (CDE).
- Describe the value of early model coordination between different disciplines.
- Explain how the BIM model evolves during the design stage.Â
Discover how BIM revolutionizes the construction phase by turning digital plans into physical reality. You’ll explore how tools like Forma Data Management and Navisworks TimeLiner ensure accurate execution through real-time updates and 4D simulations. Learn how prefabrication workflows derived from the BIM model enhance efficiency, reduce on-site labor, and minimize waste. Explore how BIM transitions from construction to operation during the handover phase, ensuring long-term project value.
After completing this video, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the role of BIM during the construction and handover stages.
- Describe how the common data environment (CDE) transitions through the project lifecycle.
- Explain what a digital twin is and its role in operational efficiency.
- Describe the impact of BIM on cost and reducing time on site.
- Identify key documentation produced during this stage of the project.
