BIM in Business Practice

[Audio] Greetings for the day, and welcome to our group presentation For this BIM in Business Practice module, we worked with Weston William and Partners, my groupmate Sanjaya and I will explain the presentation below..

[Audio] The presentation timeline includes The brief introduction about our placement company. The scope of work allocated to us for the entire internship. Weston William and partners capability assessment in bim processes and their Maturity Level Align BIM advances use Further BIM ADDED VALUES TO ELEVATE THEIR BIM LEVEL A PROPOSED BIM ROAD MAP TO MEET THEIR VISION AND MISSION THROUGH DIRECTORY SHORT TERM AND LONG-TERM GOAL A few case studies of the proposed road map A preview of comp B report individually..

[Audio] So, looking at the company management hirarcy profile. It was inaugurated in the year 1985 with a joint venture of Andrew Weston and Chris Williamson, later on many director and partners joined and they expand their company from 2 stakeholders to 143 Nos, which is their current nos of employees. This year a major change in their partnership was that their collaborate with Egis a French based company international company active in the consulting, construction engineering and mobility service sectors which currently operates in 120 countries across the globe now its holds more than 70% stake of this company. Our company deals with architecture, engineering and design having their head office in London. Approx revenue is 21.4M for the year. There, Miss Guia is in charge of the BIM, and she bears full responsibility for BIM administration. she is managing Australia London and CANADA branch for bim processes.By this year they are expanding their bim team and recutting more supportive staff. Recently one of our seniors join here as a Bim modeler..

[Audio] There are currently 5 offices for this company, and the locations are shown in the slides..

[Audio] This company has a very fair vision and mission illustrated in its web-based profile and from time to time it added values to the same. Their mission is entirely focused on designing the better places to live with intelligent use of world resources. They value simplicity and elegance without harming the environment. Their vision is a commitment to carbon neutral design, processes and mitigating carbon emissions through modern methods of design and construction of their projects. They are driven to create and build user-friendly, environmentally friendly spaces for users because they believe in sustainable buildings..

[Audio] The business portfolio of this company includes projects from aviation, Infrastructure, Master planning and retail. They are renowned for their transport architecture consultancy and currently, they are working progressively for the hs2 the very known rail network in Britain. Recently they got recognition from various media coverage for their two stations on the Elizabeth line in London. Apart from this, their profile includes various residential and Infrastructure projects as you can see in the slides..

[Audio] Some representations of their projects.. University Accommodation.

[Audio] This organization parallelly arranged special activities, outdoor events and meetups for their workforce to maintain and uplift their well-being. Likewise, various sessions like painting, art work, sports activities and DIY arranged for them that can act as a stressbuster for them. To vary their workforce across different regions and hire the best leaders, they maintain a work-from-home culture..

[Audio] This organization is always in limelight for various awards and prizes. That denotes their commitment towards their practices and services..

[Audio] From here we will represent our work done for this organization. We had given three task for the 8 working block days. The task 1 includes the usage of the third-party application called the EDGE tool, to develop the environmental assessment analysis for two separate London-based projects. The task 2 includes the Interactive software manual presentation of the Edge application for their residential staff so that they can assess other projects by their own. The task- 3 comprises of Business case report addressing the management-level employee, it's a comparative assessment report of various LCA software and their financial and functionality towards BIM processes..

[Audio] I had given a timber-based structure 2 storey building based in waterloo location ( London). This project is in the inception stage and the working team had developed the Revit file only, thereby similar project feasibility report is given to analyse and make judgements for the assessment. I used a Revit file to extract the numerical values such as the covered area of rooms windows etc. Some of the data is researched and data is entered accordingly such as average rainfall, temperature etc. Data is feeded into 4 different sub-zones- Energy, Water, Material and operational energy The more in depth specifications about the materials such as exterior surface brick tiles types, their solar reflective index the type of floor, the thickness and information about the type of insulation is analysed through these feasibility reports and decisions are made after the conversation with the leading architect of this project. Some of the details are also taken as a base case because it's very early to decide about this. Such as the installation of solar panels on the roof. As a result of this assessment I was able to deliver the result in terms of Embodied energy use, Payback period, Project Emissions, Energy performance index( EPI), Final embodied energy, Final energy water use, and Energy savings. Because the timber-based structure is more sustainable in comparison with R.C.C based structure I am able to meet the 20% target of this application to be called a sustainable building. The energy percentage was 64.22%, and for water and materials it is 26.91% | and 23.64% respectively..

[Audio] Further a 2500 words report including a comparative annexure is enclosed in the business case. This includes, a Brief information about the LCA, Life cycle analysis EPD environmental product declaration and embodied carbon Additionally, The Financial aspects such as the cost of the software installation on workstations of various software. The viability of software with BIM integration, the critical analysis of their usage and the challenges of using from assessed point of view. Since not all software provides a free student version the research journal are used for this formation..

Weston Williamson + Partners WIN • p For the last eight weeks we have hosted two placement students from UWE Bristol, Sanjaya Fernando and swati sood. They have been working with our SIM Manager Giulii and our residential team on how to implement sustainability in our 31M process. The students have used analytical data to inform the development of massing forms and the selection of materials, and to monitor change throughout the project evolution. Using a case study project the students used EDGE software and Revit to create a user guide, and embed the process in our workflow with the aim of streamlining trese factors in future work..

[Audio] In Figure 6, the three key components of WHAT, WHEN and WHO are highlighted in red. It is possible for the design responsibility matrix, once developed by the lead appointed party, to be reviewed and then used by the task team(s) to inform their TIDP(s). Industry standard groupings and descriptions of objects, systems or elements could be used to help improve the structuring, understanding and cross-referencing for each task or deliverable When defining specific responsibilities at the modelled object property definition level in the form of alphanumerical data, further levels of detail could be introduced to the detailed responsibility matrix. Using the door example, further breakdown could be introduced by identifying that the " fire rating" property comes from Task Team 1 at stage 3 and the " manufacturer" property comes from Task Team 2 at stage 4.

Strengths Sl. High level practices in REVIT, BIM 360 (Cloud) and Bentley applications which has enabled BIM enabled work principals among the organization. S2. Reputation of strong record of design deliveries and award winning design concepts over the decades. S3. Highly Skilled blended team focused on high level of design innovation and adoptability. S4. Action oriented collaborative work environment on cutting edge of their industry practices. S5. Tailored organization culture which keeps high level of communication withing employees while encouraging them to think innovatively. Opportunities 01. Potential BIM integration in to their current design work flow. 02. Possibilities to utilise immersive BIM technologies like VR, AR in to their design practices to enhance design coordination and review processes. (Platforms like WILD) 03.0pportunities to introduce clash detection in their design reviews to ensure final design model is clashes free against structural, MEP elements. 04.0pportnuities to achieve cross border design workflow in a live collaborative work environments accords Australia, United Kingdom and Canada through BIM 360 and Sharp Cloud. 05. Well established corporate strategy which enables WWP to invest in more software and hardware skills for BIM capability enhancements. Weaknesses WI.No centralized platform to monitor different department work progresses and status in a single dashboard for management. (Expect Construction Cloud Interfaces). W2. Horizontal leadership structure which seems to make regular operations cluttered. W3. No major research and development concerns. W4. Lack of fully BIM integrative design work practices. W5. Lack of BIM integrative immersive technologies especially like AR and MR usage in design development. W6. No inhouse BIM training and practices for development of employees BIM based work capabilities. W7.No Defined BIM goals and objectives aligning to their business model Threats T 1. Predicting market downturns and economic recessions which can impact the upcoming construction project market. T2. Possible trained skilled and talented employees turnover. T3. Existing competition in between employees as the pressure among the organization to come up with new design ideas. (This positive competition which derived employees performance can be negative in a longer run where it can creates unnecessary tension between employees which can restrict innovative working culture). T4. Possible restrictions to change among the employees since WWP have few experienced professionals who prefer their traditional practices..

Swati Sood. Sanjaya Fernando. Risk Associating with the Focused BIM Road Map Concerns.

[Audio] This is the Road map for the placement company, a method to map its corporate BIM strategy via a number of clear steps or layers. Followed by a company vision, mission and BIM assessment results. We came to analyse that Information, Bim uses, processes, strategies, personnel and infrastructure are the main elements where this company needs to work effectively to elevate its BIM maturity level. The short-term goal of 1- 3 years can be achieved by the points mentioned at the top half part of slide while for the long-term goal the organization needs to integrate more toward the Digital twin, A.R, V.R.

[Audio] Some key points where the company need to focus is the personal, Intelligent, learning, Analytics, Finance and Inforgraphic. By infographics it means the uplift of the projects level of detail and Finance it means the monitory support for the Bim enhancement tranings to the staff and by research, it means the research-based evidence that gives directions for new implementations.

[Audio] The case studies an in-depth, detailed examination of a relevant case within a real-world context that can act as a reference of direction for the bim team, to meet their short-term and long-term goals. This case study belongs to the campus building in University of the atlanta, where the Bim model was used to select the optimum building orientation and to select the ideal façad design. Ecotech and IES , REVIT AND archicad software was used for this study..

[Audio] The case study -2 relates to cultural museum in china, where the lca and green building assesmnts was used to find the results of energy consumption..

[Audio] The last case study relates to the company's long-term goals and it's quite interesting. It's an amalgamation of LCA and V.R. The different building façade design was proposed and a unique bar code was assigned for each building façade types. A computer system generated for the off-site clients with V.R TO to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. They can access the building design with the bar code..

[Audio] The last phase of this presentation comprises of the reflection of the student comp-B REPORT. Because this organization is working on architecture and engineering based practices. I would like to research more towards the Design processes. How bim can helps the organisation TO IMPROVE THEIR DESIGN REVIEWS AND SATISFY THE CLIENTS NEED. Since this business interacts with clients in a variety of industries and with clients in a variety of ways, I think BIM-enabled design review processes can help them improve their user experience and raise their profile. So this is the end of my part. Following slides coverup by Sanjaya.
