METHODS OF DESIGN
The process of building design documentation has gone through considerable changes in the last decades. In this session well compare different documentation methods and analyze their effects on operational costs and workflows: Pen/paper based offices prefer traditional design concepts. The document creation and modification is a continuous process. An enormous amount of hard copy is needed to maintain the design phase. 2D CAD based offices are working with hard copies as well as computer aided design applications. Since 2D CAD is not an object based design method, it has several limitations, thus this workflow requires it requires printed hard copies in order to cooperate with different design professionals. BIM program based office environment use intelligent 3D objects as the basis for design. All aspects of the design process are continuously up to date for all parties.
Every modification on the design requires new layout preparation. Quantity takeoffs and calculation are time consuming, and cooperation with contractors requires on-site personal discussions.
Consequently, changes to the model are instantly updated on all drawings. Benefits: considerably less paper usage more efficient cooperation with other professionals through various output formats easy and coherent change management
There are relatively high material costs as well as moderate manpower cost on top of occasional software and hardware investments. The IT investment can be easily planned, while material costs are mostly driven by daily needs.
Dimensioning
Automatic update of all dimensioning of modified elements Automatic dimensioning saves considerable time
Trace Reference can be used to edit active view: trim with/adjust to elements on Reference, pick up element parameters from Reference. It provides an easy and direct navigation between the Active Content and the Reference.
