Digital Construction
The terminology such as digital built environment and smart asset management, often referred to as Digital Construction, encompasses multiple technologies and processes related to information or project management and the management of related actionable events that trigger various outcomes. It can be said that the digitalization of construction began with designers moving from drawing boards […]
smart asset management
The terminology such as digital built environment and smart asset management, often referred to as Digital Construction, encompasses multiple technologies and processes related to information or project management and the management of related actionable events that trigger various outcomes. Smart, connected technologies transform how we design, manufacture, use and maintain parts, products, and the entire […]

As-Built Model
Model(s) based on Fabrication Shop Model(s) and installed conditions.1 1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
Assignment
A request or offer resulting in a Reliable Promise and is ready to be placed on the Weekly Work Plan (WWP) for performance. An assignment must meet the characteristics for a Quality Assignment prior to inclusion on the WWP1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is a professional organization that develops and promulgates system, measurement, and product engineering standards to the industry.1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015.

Construction Manager at Risk
Various key characteristics of CM@Risk include: there are separate contracts for design services and for construction services; the contract for construction services may be entered into at the same time as the contract for design services, or at a later time; design and construction of the project may be in sequential phases or concurrent phases; […]
Co-Location
Assembling the entire BIM design and construction team in a single location (“Co-location”) enables almost instant and direct communication and coordination among team members. This Co-location of all team members provides the environment, opportunity, and proximity to build trust among teammates, while efficiently designing. The project issues are nearly transparent and solutions start to evolve […]
Commissioning
A building has successfully gone through the commissioning process when its equipment and systems have been examined and tested to perform as designed, and its operators have been trained to operate the systems and equipment properly. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory cites Hasl and Heinemeier’s “California Commissioning Guide: New Buildings” as an authoritative source. AEC recommends […]
Conditions of Satisfaction
An explicit description by a Customer of all the actual requirements that must be satisfied by the Performer in order for the Customer to feel that he or she received exactly what was wanted.1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
