USAGE OF REVIT/BIM IN SOME PARTICULAR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

USAGE OF REVIT/BIM IN SOME PARTICULAR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS?

PROJECTS THAT HAVE UTILIZED BIM DURING CONSTRUCTION

Nanjing International Youth Cultural Centre / Zaha Hadid Architects

The building is the first completely top-down/bottom-up tower construction in China. Starting from street level and then building upwards and downwards in tandem. The construction of such a building would normally take 34 months but using the expertise of ZHA (Zaha Hadid Architects) in 3D digital BIM designs and construction management the overall completion time of the project was reduced by more than a year and the project was completed under 18 months.

Macquarie University Incubator / Architectus

This structure was built using only prefabricated units. The structure was designed by architect and designers as a unique addition to the university. Thus, each design aspect of the structure was worked out by utilizing 3D BIM models. Accuracy was fundamental to ensure that the building components were fully coordinated before they were transported and installed.

National Library of Sejong City / Samoo Architects & Engineers

In this project all major structural elements such as slab, columns, and cores were modeled with BIM. This was done to check viability of the project and its constructability beforehand. BIM provided solutions to many issues through pre-construction simulations.

The use of clash detection and coordination was essential for this project as the unique shape and design of building would not be possible if built through traditional approach. BIM was utilized for the manufacturing of unique panels and curtain wall systems that were fundamental to the unique geometries of this project.

Statoil Regional and International Offices / a-lab

Thanks to thorough planning and advanced BIM-modeling this building structure came to life. The team of architects, clients, contractors, and subcontractors were not only able to construct such a complex and masterpiece of engineering, but they also managed to complete it within schedule and budget.

Central Taiwan Innovation Campus MOEA / Bio-architecture Formosana + NOIZ ARCHITECTS

This structure is an example of application of Green BIM technology and building lifecycle management. The entire data gathered throughout the design and construction process of the building will be used as the foundation of the operational management.

The goal set by the client was to reduce 10 percent of the overall carbon footprint during its construction phase. Furthermore, BIM was adopted to conduct analysis for the efficiency of the building operations and conduct energy analysis.
