Building Information Modeling. (BIM) means the process of generating and managing building data using 3D, real-time, dynamic building modeling software resulting in a BIM Model which is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility encompassing building geometry, spatial relationships and quantities and properties of building components and systems.
Building Information Modeling. The Project Architect shall utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring software and BIM based design processes to produce model(s) for this project including all structure, walls, doors, openings, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing equipment/distribution systems. The BIM model(s) shall be utilized for all formal design reviews and presentations (Schematic, Design Development and Final Construction Documents). The BIM software shall be compliant with Industry Foundation Class (IFC) file format.
Building Information Modeling. DGS is implementing Building Information Modeling (“BIM”) as a standard on the Takoma project. DGS’s BIM plan will facilitate more informed decision making, design-intent, communication, project coordination across various phases; enhance project delivery schedule and budget management, post construction asset and facility management, and building automation. This will be accomplished through the real time collaboration and utilization of a common data environment. The Department uses BIM and, as such, will require a BIM process to be followed for the Takoma project. This process will include the following additional tasks and deliverables:
Building Information Modeling. Building information modeling (“BIM”) models may be made available to Construction Manager. BIM design and construction drawings shall be developed using BIM software – latest Owner approved version. Additional design and construction drawings such as civil, landscape and interiors shall be developed using AutoCAD or BIM software – latest Owner approved version. Any deviation from the use of the above software must be approved in writing by Owner’s Director of Facilities Planning and Construction. The BIM models shall be used by the Professional and Construction Manager for design coordination, collision avoidance, and production of traditional two-dimensional drawings, and may be used for energy analysis, day lighting analysis, and other building or systems analysis. The implementation and use of BIM shall be discussed by Professional and Owner at a BIM kickoff meeting as early in design as possible, with the agreed-upon parameters captured by the Professional in a document to be entitled "BIM Execution Plan." The BIM Execution Plan shall be updated and augmented by Professional, with concurrence and agreement by Owner, throughout design, and by Owner and Construction Manager throughout construction, as needed to solidify details regarding terminology, schedule, content, format, risk allocation, and use of the model(s). Professional shall provide the BIM model(s) to Construction Manager prior to and during construction, subject to the limitations outlined in the BIM Execution Plan, for scheduling, coordination, resource management, estimating, and other uses deemed beneficial to Owner for delivery of the Project. Construction Manager shall conduct BIM coordination meetings with its subcontractors and manage a central BIM model for all primary trades with the intent of detecting clashes of building systems prior to their final approval and fabrication. Professional shall update the BIM model(s) at the end of construction to reflect the actual "as-built" conditions. Final “Record Document” model(s) shall be delivered to Owner in the BIM format(s) as originally developed and as a fully integrated Revit-based model containing the architectural, structural, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing content.
Building Information Modeling. [Optional Section – discussion point]
Building Information Modeling. Ownership/Licensing. The Design Materials, including all BIM files, will, upon completion of the Project, become the property of the Owner and the Parties agree to provide the Owner, as a deliverable before Final Completion, the most recent version of all BIM files. Notwithstanding the above, the design elements that were created by the Parties, before execution of the Agreement, as extensions to commercially available building information modeling software remain the property of the respective Party that created the extension, regardless of whether it was used in a Model for this Project. The Parties grant a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license to each other to use any BIM information solely for the purpose of designing, analyzing and constructing this Project and for its future maintenance and remodeling. Provided the Party has not been terminated for convenience or cause, Owner grants each Party a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual license solely for use or display of the Project BIM information for educational or promotional purposes.
Building Information Modeling. The BIM shall depict and represent the current configuration of the design and building systems during the development of the Project.
Building Information Modeling. The CMA shall be familiar with the BIM model in Revit.
Building Information Modeling. (BIM) Coordination. The CM firm’s responsibility with regard to construction related BIM services are set forth in SECTION 013129 of DCAMM’s Standard Specifications and in Exhibit BIM attached hereto.
Building Information Modeling. The Project Architect shall utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring software and BIM based design processes to produce model(s) for this project including all structure, walls, doors, openings, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing equipment/distribution systems. The BIM model(s) shall be utilized for all formal design reviews and presentations (Schematic, Design Development and Final Construction Documents). The BIM software shall be compliant with Industry Foundation Class (IFC) file format. Within the first 30 days of award of this Agreement the Architect and its consultants shall develop and present to the Owner for review and comment a BIM Execution Plan (BEP). The BEP shall be well organized with a table of contents and definitions of key terms and outline all key points, objectives, roles, responsibilities, procedures, and protocols between its various consultants including the level of detail, model quality control and tolerances each of its consultant will be responsible for developing in the model(s) for each deliverable required of the project. The BEP shall address model management and the regular transfer of information at defined intervals between each its consultants or other consultants or parties retained by the Owner. The Architect and its consultants shall also meet with the Contractor to present and review the BEP to ensure the Contractor is familiar with all elements of the BEP and associated deliverables the BEP will provide for the Contractor’s use in development of their BIM Coordination Protocol (BCP). At completion of the project’s design phase, the Design Building Information Model’s shall be transferred at no additional cost to the Owner and Contractor for its use in preparation of a coordinated Construction Building Information Model.
