This document discusses Fulton Trotter's experience implementing BIM processes for medium-sized architectural practices. It outlines some of the challenges they faced in adopting BIM, including new workflows and lack of standards. Case studies are presented on projects where BIM provided benefits such as quicker production, fewer variations, and more time for design. While contractors have been slow to adopt BIM, the future is envisioned as having fully model-based documentation and automated processes. Standard deliverables will help boost industry uptake of BIM by clarifying expectations.

- 1. BIM processes for the medium sized "Managing Architect" Practice! Building Information Modelling Summit 2013 | 27 August 2013
- 2. Agenda • Fulton Trotter & BIM • Working with Tier 2 Contractors • What will the future hold?
- 4. Nathan Hildebrandt • Associate • Project Architect • Manage architectural team • 11 years experience using BIM software ‘ArchiCAD’ • OpenBIM advocate • Graphisoft Development Panel • ArchiCAD Beta Tester • Member of BuildingSMART • BrisBIM Committee Member
- 5. Challenges with BIM • Significant shift in information creation • Implementation needs to be staged • Staff need to know how a building is built • BIM is still in its infancy • Standards are not in place • Leading to confusion from clients
- 6. Challenges with BIM • New Processes need to be developed • Costly if you head up dry gullies
- 7. Why Fulton Trotter embrace BIM MacKillop Catholic College Library | Warnervale NSW | 2004 • Why embark on BIM unless you benefit from it • FTA Clients don’t require BIM • FTA are embracing BIM as a process • Efficiencies – quicker production • Quality – less variations • More time for design • Future delivery process for all construction projects
- 8. Fulton Trotter’s BIM Journey 2003-2010 1993-2002 >1993 2011 2007–HinklerProject 2011<
- 9. Incorrect use of BIM Software taken from Graphisoft ArchiCAD 8.1 Project Framework 2004
- 10. Case Studies • Hinkler Hall of Aviation – 3d Structural Steel Drawings • Wongaburra – Services Modelling • Tamborine Mountain College – Mobile Technology • Faith Lutheran College – Pilot full coordinated tender model
- 11. Hinkler Hall of Aviation • Completed in 2007 • Complex Structural Steel Building • Simple Architectural Cladding Shell
- 12. Hinkler Hall of Aviation 3D Shop Drawings • 3D Structural Steel Shop drawings produced in Tekla. • Quick and easy review process • Model reviewed outside of ArchiCAD • 1800 shop drawings produced but not necessary to review in as much detail.
- 13. Hinkler Hall of Aviation 3D Steel Shop Drawing Feedback
- 14. Hinkler Hall of Aviation • Real benefits in the process. • Benefits even greater today with Clash Detection Software.
- 15. Wongaburra • Upgrade of Existing Aged Care Facilities • Conversion of Undercroft Space into Administration Facilities • Service Consultants delivering typical 2D documentation
- 16. Wongaburra • 2530 Floor to underside of slab • Habitable Space required to be obtained • Modelling the only answer
- 17. Wongaburra
- 18. Wongaburra • Modeling on its own wouldn’t have achieved the outcome. • Communication key to success of installation
- 19. Tamborine Mountain College • Secondary School Library and Teaching Spaces • 500sqm • Consultants providing 2D information / documentation
- 20. Tamborine Mountain College Communicating with a Virtual Model • Already used as a tool for • Design Reviews • Consultants • Client Sign Off on Design • Architect review on Site • Pilot project with Contractor. • Issued for trialling on Site.
- 22. Tamborine Mountain College • Challenge getting Contractor to use technology on site. • Provides a accompanying piece of information to drawings and specification. • Development of software will transform the Construction Industry.
- 23. Faith Lutheran College • Secondary Library • 500sqm
- 24. Faith Lutheran College • Pilot Project for fully coordinated Consultant Team Model • Creation of workflows for multi-platform team Workflow
- 26. Faith Lutheran College • Cost $10k timecost to test and develop workflows. Now in place a good investment. • Delivered the project with -0.3% in Latent, Authority, Documentation Variations. Client Variations 1.4% • Contractor didn’t embrace technology or 3D shop drawings • Had Contractor engaged in process would they benefit?
- 27. The Future – where are we heading • Everything is modelled • All notation automated, derived straight from the model • Specification & Schedules generated directly from the model • Model checking software will perform majority of QA tasks • Developing process of communication with our QS • Developing processes with our builders so they benefit
- 28. Working with Tier 2 Contractors • Uptake of BIM in Tier 2 is very limited • Working with regular Contractors to show benefits of adapting to technology • Challenge is without standard deliverables from Clients process development now could be a significant dry gully • Sub Contractors are smaller and investment to great?
- 29. How will the industry adapt • Question roles of Professional Consultants in the future! • Where will everyone fit it? • How do you adapt your business and remain relevant?
- 30. Road to Standard Deliverables • BuildingSMART are working along with a number of other NFP organisations to create Guidelines. • Boost the uptake, clearer ideas of deliverables. • Clients can ask for an reasonable outcome and Project Team will know what is needed to achieve it.
