BIM Long Term Construction Focus Areas

� Evaluation areas:

– Via model point and click ability with direct access to information; vendor data,

fabrication documents, inspection and test data, etc.

– In the model identify Construction work sequences and work packages

(electronic Work Package development)

– Use model for temporary construction;

» Temporary utilities and facilities

» Test and Hazard boundaries

» Construction equipment including rigging activities

» Scaffold planning

– Construction completion status identified and tracked in the model
