Analyze data stored in the Autodesk BIM 360 platform to surface actionable insights into supply chain performance

This session will explain how BIM-MEPAUS develops a best practice virtual design to physical construction BIM MEP methodology, that promotes integrated project delivery within the Australian MEP industry through accurate Design to Commission As-Built and Design to Fabrication workflows, structured and consistent modelling practices plus industry standardisation delivering improved supply chain efficiency and commination.

Skanska uses equipment and checklist modules in BIM360 Field across the full supply team to improve collaboration, quality, and costs for the client.

Create rebar orders in Revit; send them to aSa – the world’s leading rebar fab. software, automating processes for material optimization, fabrication, and field management

BIM implementation on an integrated model project—The International Quarter London, an urban business district located in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The class will cover the Last Planner principles developed by the Lean Institute and how the software supports this principle. The benefits of adopting the Last Planner principles include increased reliability, greater savings in time and cost, less wastage of materials, and greater utilization of plant. The benefits are further enhanced by collaboration with the supply chain, where they can review their elements of a plan in line with main contractors, and feed into BIM 360 Plan web service, therefore streamlining interactions. The gains made through BIM 360 Plan in this process (such as staying in the field longer) reduce time spent compiling reports in the office and improve Planed Percentage Complete (PPC) with accountability for lost time weekly-enabling root-cause analysis to aid in targeted software and provide a platform for detailed whole project as-built data. Finally, the class will also briefly discuss the benefits of BIM 360 Plan supporting construction claims, and its use to minimize disputes. This session features BIM 360 Plan.
