Data Asset Authoring & Management

In a typical construction project the information about the building is contained in drawings, bills of quantities and specifications. A number of construction professionals normally collaborate to put this documentation together. The documentation should then be updated through the construction phase and handed to the client. In reality, this does not always happen, or when it does, the documentation is supplied in a format such as .pdf or paper that makes it very difficult for the client to use.

The idea behind COBie is that the key information is all pulled into one format and shared between the construction team at defined stages in a project.

3D Modelling

The adoption of 3D modeling in construction has brought in numerous benefits. 3D modeling, not only speeds up the design process but also enables architects and designers play around with different ideas and identify potential design problems before they become actual issues. By putting all the pieces together (creating a Federated Model) 3D modelling provides a realistic view of the finished project. 

Clash Detection

Clash avoidance is a key part of the design and construction process. One of the key benefits of BIM is the ability to spot 'clashes' at an early stage in your project where they should be much easier, cheaper and less time consuming to rectify.

Coordination

When we imagine clashes we commonly think of two components occupying the same space. These are often referred to as a 'hard clash' - a column running though a wall or pipework through a steel beam, for example. These kinds of clashes can be time consuming and costly to put right if only discovered onsite.

A 'soft clash' occurs when an element isn't given the spatial or geometric tolerances it requires or its buffer zone is breached. For example, an air conditioning unit may require certain clearances to allow for maintenance, access or safety that a steel beam would negate.
