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 the role of Structural Consultant and HVAC Consultant was taken by me. 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 different 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 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.
