SCRUG Presenters

Colleagues,

The re-launch of the SCRUG will only succeed if we have participation by our members. I've heard that the biggest gripe about meetings in the past was “too many vendor presentations”. That means we need our members to step up and be willing to share their own experiences with Revit and BIM. This means you.

I am reaching out to all who signed up for last month’s meeting to make this small commitment to the success of the group. This includes Revit users at Taylor, MVE, LPA, TCA, BLA, Langdon Wilson, GKK, IDAE, AO, AECOM, WHA, DLR, PSA, DLR, Hidey, Danielian, MulvannyG2, Gensler,  and many others. That is a pretty impressive list. And for free-lancers and those between gigs, this is a great way for you to showcase your skills.

Although I have not yet lined up a presenter for the next meeting, I am simply asking all those who are willing to participate in the future to contact me for further discussion.

Thanks in advance.

A. Jay Holland

BIM Planning and LoD

For members not familiar with BIM planning, it is the process of developing and documenting the various responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in a BIM project. As defined in the Penn State guide, the stages of BIM planning are: Identify BIM Goals and Uses Design the BIM Project Execution Process Develop Information Exchanges Define the Supporting Infrastructure for BIM Implementation Level of Detail vs. Level of Development The LoD concept was developed by VICO Software for construction cost estimation. Faced with the problem of determining how accurate, or how definitive, were the model elements to which they wished to assign costs, they developed the concept they called "Level of Detail". LOD 100 meant not very definitive (an area or volume rate is accurate enough) LOD 200 assume the number of items in the model is correct, but use an estimate for each, LOD 300 items are identified and actual cost can be used, LOD 400 is a m...

BIM-4-Homebuilders

Building Information Modeling  has gained acceptance in market sectors other than home building. BIM has become a requirement for large and complex projects, but even with the current upturn in the housing market, many builders - and the designers who serve them - are hesitant to get involved. At the SCRUG BIM Housing Forum , a panel of the leading residential architects and builders in Orange County will discuss their outlook with regard to Building Information Modeling.  The purpose of the conference is to promote the awareness, adoption and use of BIM and other advanced technologies within the housing industry in Southern California. The BIM-4-Homebuilders Conference will define and clarify: What is happening in the residential BIM world? What is possible? What does "collaboration" really mean?  How can we reduce cost and/or increase profit. How does BIM support Lean, Green, and Sustainable architecture? What is the "M...
