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 […]
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.
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. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
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 […]
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.
Design Web Format (DWF), created by Autodesk. DWF is a compressed, non-editable, vector file format created by CAD and BIM applications. A DWF file can represent sheets for plotting purposes (2D DWF) or the entire 3D Model (3D DWF) for visualization or estimating purposes.1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and […]
DWG (“drawing format”) is a binary file format licensed by Autodesk and used for storing two and limited three-dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages, primarily AutoCAD™. In addition, DWG is supported non-natively by many other CAD applications.1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical […]
Digital Model(s) created from shop drawings to support fabrication and installation. Fabrication models are reviewed and approved by the A/E for conformance to design specifications.1 1 The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
A BIM is said to be geo-referenced when the BIM is located with respect to one of the standard geographic survey coordinate grids established to represent locations on the Earth’s surface, such as World Coordinate System 1984 (WCS84)[1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
Integrated Workplace Management System. Such systems incorporate powerful database capabilities to capture enterprise-level functions and serve as decision support tools at all organizational levels and throughout the whole building lifecycle. An IWMS thus reaches into all organizational databases to feed its enterprise-level analyses. [1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and […]
