CM 1011 - Chapter 13 (Module 6)
4D Scheduling & Sequencing - ANS-BIM p34mits the addition of time to the model.
The time aspect is the fourth dimension and permits instant communication with the
subcontractors, material suppliers, etc.
5D Cost Estimating - ANS-BIM enables accurate quantity takeoffs of materials and
building components that can be linked directly to the cost databases used to create the
estimate
The effect of any changes on the design can be seen instantly!
6 benefits of implementing BIM - ANS-1. 4D Scheduling & Sequencing
2. 5D Cost Estimating
3. Improved communication with Subcontractors& Material
Suppliers
4. Systems Coordination
5. Optimizes Prefabrication
6. Operation &Maintenance
7 Tips on Ethical Practice - ANS-1. Know your company's values:
2. Know the law
3. Do not waiver from your ethical standards to appease a situation.
4. Pay attention to your rationalizations.
5. Pay attention to your gut.
6. Seek out knowledgeable peers and ask them.
7. We're all in this together. (the construction industry)
AGC's Code of Ethical Conduct - ANS-To further express my commitment to the
principles of Skill, Responsibility and Integrity, I pledge to conduct myself according to
the following standards:
, *My word is my bond and is stronger than a written contract.
*I will treat others as I desire and expect to be treated by them.
*I will put safety and compliance with codes, laws and regulations above profit.
*I will respect and protect the environment.
*I will do my best to produce quality projects on time, at good value.
*I will assume responsibility for my actions.
*I will strive to reach accord through personal negotiations and do my best to resolve
disputes quickly, with integrity, and without personal attack or rancor.
*I will endeavor to persuade others within my organization and all for whom I am
responsible to embrace these standards.
Benefit of using BIM - ANS-*create a model of the project and test it before building it in
reality.
*Scenarios such as work sequencing, staging layouts, hoisting options, etc can be
considered by entire construction team
*Better coordination of the various trade activities involved in building the project,
thereby saving time, creating a safer work environment, eliminating waste, reducing
rework, having fewer errors and corrections in the field, producing a higher-quality
product and lowering costs.
IMPT:
Using BIM can lead to increased profits
BIM model (definition) - ANS-A digital representation of the physical and functional
characteristics of a building displayed as a 3D model, with
the added capability to integrate a whole array of design and construction data related
to cost, schedule, materials, assembly, maintenance, energy use, and more.
central repository approach - ANS-The concept that all project information can be
loaded into one database to create a single building information model.
