A case study from The Red Sea Development to share lessons learned from the design, manufacture and assembly of a large complex mass timber structure. In this session, we will demonstrate the best practices from the owner's perspective for defining the BIM requirements and processes to ensure the success of our OSM projects. Imagine 4 timber-framed, double curved, 100-foot span roofs, designed in London, manufactured in Switzerland, shipped to Jeddah, and assembled at a remote site. We'll share our experience of evaluating BIM formats, determining preferred solutions for the interoperability between Revit, Rhino & CadWork, to support the designers, timber manufacturing and contractors to deliver the luxury building. Our teams used BIM360 for the model collaboration for review of design and coordination issues and we learned how to leverage the tools and platform to solve complex challenges, improve our quality control processes and ultimately deliver the project on-site.

The construction industry’s efficiency gains have nearly flatlined over the last 25 years. Why? The buildings industry remains one of the least digitized. These issues trickle into the operational stage of the lifecycle, where commercial buildings waste an average of 30% of their energy consumption. All told, operational costs and emissions are often 5 – 8x higher than capital costs. These inefficiencies and imbalances derive from misaligned incentives between builders and users. How do we align these incentives to unlock massive efficiency gains across the design-build-operate lifecycle? The shift toward digital BIM processes is part of the solution to more energy efficient homes and buildings by delivering greater agility and long-term sustainability. Together we will explore how to drive long-term transformation in Architecture, Engineering and Construction towards a new energy landscape.

The AEC sector has steadily integrated BIM & Design Technology specialist roles over the last decade; as the market matures, how will specialisation and collaborative cross-industry understanding inform the evolution of these roles, teams, and the construction industry? This talk will consider how the role of the specialist will need to evolve and diversify to encourage a broader understanding and adaptability. In the session, we will evaluate how the current and future need for increased levels of information, simultaneously by varied stakeholders and disciplines, has driven a need and desire for enhanced communication, connection, and comprehension outside of our respective specialisations. This talk will explore opportunities for individuals and teams to scale, foster efficiency, collaborate, grow international networks and recognise the need for knowledge and data beyond the specialisation of the current BIM & Design Technology roles.

As the industry continues to adopt digital construction, new technologies and new applications are changing the landscape -- in a good way. Inefficiencies in communication and coordination are giving way to teams aligned digitally in a shared platform. How are they doing this? They are aligning around the data. Whether 3D scans or 360 photo documentation, the capture, visualization and management of site data is becoming an integral part of company processes, enabling them to streamline work, reduce waste and improve sustainability. In this session we will examine where we are today, and what the future of this technology will look like, as well as understanding the ways in which it will help the industry to grow.

Resource constraints, cost concerns, and a desire to better leverage emerging AI and ML technologies have caused design teams in the water industry to adopt automation tools to accelerate their work. These tools allow designers to leverage standardized processes and design content to efficiently generate high quality documentation with 3D visualization, while still providing a customized solution to meet a client’s specific needs. These tools can allow multiple designs using alternative treatment technologies to be efficiently generated and evaluated as part of design optimization efforts. This presentation includes a discussion of current trends in design automation, with a focus on water and wastewater treatment facilities. This includes the use of bots, BIM/CAD automations, and specialized rules-based design automation tools. A case study of a project using the Transcend rules-based automation package will be discussed to show the value that can be achieved with these tools.
