Mixed Development Project

The studio focused on implementing Lean and BIM principles to Integrated Project Delivery. A mixed Development project located in Ahmedabad was selected for this studio. To understand the collaborative work the group members were assigned different roles where I had taken the role of BIM Co-ordinator and Plumbing Consultant. The project team at site implemented conventional method of BIM despite of having a BIM Consultant for the project which gave us an opportunity to implement BIM in more collaborative and better way. The portfolio focuses on applying the BIM approach, using a number of software-based assessments and several lean principles. To achieve the desired objectives, a BIM execution plan was created that detailed the complex workflow management process. The specifics of numerous disciplines (such as architectural, structural, and MEPF services) of a construction project were included in a model of the anticipated scope of work. Weekly reviews of each individual task were conducted, and any necessary actions were then taken. Different exercises, including clash detection, quantity take-off, and site layout analysis, were carried out using a 3D model. Using software’s like Navisworks Manage and Synchro Pro, a 4D construction sequence of the scheduled activities was generated and combined with a 5D simulation to see the cost implications during the construction phase. Various BIM tools like AR/VR, Dynamo, and Power BI is used for better visualization and monitoring of project. The studio gave an important takeaways from each stage of the project development.
