CR419-2: Upstream BIM: Creating Models for Design, Construction, and Beyond
Session: CR419-2
Title: Upstream BIM: Creating Models for Design, Construction, and Beyond
Instructor: Dan Russell
Course Description: In the new world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), designers can no longer afford to simply create "Design Intent" drawings and expect the construction team to "figure out" the details. BIM, combined with alternative project delivery methods, enables project teams to go beyond construction documents and provide substantial additional value to the project during the construction phase as well as the life cycle of the building. This class explores the possibilities of upstream data sharing in design-build and integrated project delivery (IPD) procurement methods. Topics covered will include the "model" as a contract document, trusting the contractor to add relevant detail information, determining who is best suited to provide model content, and preparing for operations and maintenance.
