Appendix B-8: Model Use: Author Temporary Construction Systems Model
Author Temporary Construction Systems Model
Description:
Using BIM to author the design of the temporary systems required for the construction of the permanent building systems. These temporary systems can include concrete formwork, scaffolding, support of excavation systems, temporary shoring, temporary heating, temporary lighting, or other engineered temporary construction systems.
Potential Value:
- Increase construction safety and productivity
- Improved safety through visualization and analytics
- Increase safety awareness of a complex building system
- Improved communication with workforce through better visualization
- Improve constructability of complex building system through detailed analysis
- Enables automation of work package development including takeoffs and details
Resources Required:
- Design authoring software that supports construction system design
Team Competencies Required:
- Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review 3D model
- Ability to make appropriate construction decisions using a 3D System Design Software
- Knowledge of typical and appropriate construction practices for each component
