Autodesk University 2016

November 14-17 I will be attending my third straight Autodesk University conference. The last two followed a marathon flight from the opposite side of the globe. It's great to be back!

On 8 a.m. Tuesday at one of the first sessions, it is my pleasure to introduce my colleague from the Middle-East, Kelvin Tam, whose presentation "Strategizing Mega-Projects" discusses modeling alternatives for large and complex projects.

Kelvin is a passionate architect and scientist with many accolades to his credit. He has worked for RTKL and Rosetti in Los Angeles, and NBBJ in Ohio where he was named 2014 'Mentor of the Year'.

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...
