Description

3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D 3D BIM – Spatial Coordination 3D BIM is the use of spatial qualities of BIM content to solve a problem. It creates both graphical and non-graphical information and shares it in a Common Data Environment (CDE). Clash detections, visualization and structural analyses are examples to improve coordination and collaboration of design intent. Clash detection is the act of putting two models and running interference checks on designs. This solve problems virtually and reduces the risk of human errors during model inspections.

4D BIM - Sequencing In 4D BIM, time-scheduling data is added to components in the project model. The components will build in detail and show how the model develops sequentially and virtually on a timeline, as the project progresses. This boosts optimization of construction activities and team coordination. Scheduling analysis allows the project team to use BIM content to analyze the timeline and the sequence of construction and space requirements. This sources out tasks in the critical path that require urgent attention. Thus, it can be also used for visual payment validations.

5D BIM - Costing In 5D BIM, BIM content is used for cost estimation and tracking purposes. The automatic counting of components enables the software to identify an overall estimated project development cost. Thus, ensuring the project is within its planned budget. 2D Quantity take off analysis is when the total area and volume of grouped components and structures are automatically calculated using BIM content. The number of bricks needed to build a wall for an example, is obtained by dividing the volume of one brick.

3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D 6D BIM - Sustainability In 6D BIM, an energy consumption analysis is done on the model to access its building performance and sustainability. The orientation, massing, natural ventilation, daylighting and other factors are considered for decision making. The actual site data and local climate must be used to ensure the effectiveness of the analysis. This supports the reduction of carbon footprints. Energy model analysis uses sensors to collect information on the actual building to study the immediate environment by performing Wind, Sun and cooling factor analyses.

7D – Facility Management 7D BIM is when BIM content is used for facility management purposes throughout the lifecycle of the facility . It allows users to collect and track information for maintenance and status of components. For an example, the maintenance of a building system or equipment must be done yearly. Thus, there will be a prompt notification every year. This optimizes asset management....
