Building Information Design (BIM) Software that assists management of modelling

Virtual Reality can simulate final products for stakeholders to get a feel before a project may be finished

Critical Paths are decision making diagrams to help assist complex projects

the control of BIM, how it helps the building and how it can manage the load so nothing collapse and can control the building- good information about BIM

VR can be used to see a production e.g a kitchen without it being real - good depth

construction schedule simulation can see when the material and when people are going to be there so no one confused and everyone can be on thee same page - good information

A BIM project file can be used to see the building design can be energy efficient.

VR can be used to virtually walk through the project before its built. AR can overlay digital info onto the physical world helping workers visualize how certain elements should be placed in the real environment during construction.

Critical Path Method is a simulation what shows the critical path of a project and will help the project manager by identifying tasks.

Benefits of simulation - improved decision making and enhanced collaboration

Monitoring, Resource Management, Remote Support

Tracks equipment performance, managing materials & tools, & Connecting the on-site teams with Experts & Higher-ups

First introduced - 1970s

Helped Ensure safety and the efficiency of more complex structures. Whilst helping to meet harsher building codes

Developments:

1980s: New PCs Became more commonplace, 2D CAD software ( AutoCAD ) Improved Architectural work. Software Like BIM was also started to be introduced

1990s: 3D CAD software came into existence, The Use of GIS ( Geographic Information Systems ) and early digital Surveying software was being used.

BIM:

BIM used 3D Models to provide visual representations of the building plans, connecting teams and different trades working on the project

Important:

Allows for better Planning, Design and Collaboration. Also Improves the coordination between all trades working on site.

Satellites are used to position data for setting out buildings

Digital communication such as teams and QR codes on tools with necessary information can increase information sharing

Smart machinery can decrease the need of manual labour, increasing accuracy and speeds, saving on labour costs

BIM

CAM ( Computer Aided Manufacturing )

CAD ( Computer Aided Design )

Block Chain - Used to improve the supplies management, counteracts fraud and ensures Secure Payments

Wearables - Assists in checking on if workers are being pushed too hard

Robotics- Robots handle basic tasks that could cause strain on a person, if over exposed to the repetitive actions ( Lifting, Transporting Materials

AI - Processes and and creates predictive modelling, risk analysis and quality controls. It can also automate scheduling orders of materials, which speeds up the time it would take to fully create the plan, and allow for workers to focus more on other tasks and aspects of the job.

Drones - provide aerial coverage of the worksite to show progress, or to check over the landscape, before settling on the preferred area to build on.

Mobile Technology - Allows easy communication, and apps can be used for sharing information, and keeping notes of material delivery dates and other information that may be needed to be tracked.

Mense-Korte Case Study - The first 3D printed Home, 3 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom at 1722^2 Ft

Affects tech has in construction :

Helps decide on materials

CAD -

Helps with material choices, as it allows for different views before the construction is carried out

GIT ( Global Integration Testing ) - Allows engineers to test and find the most suitable materials and components. Allows the use of

Advantages -

Clear view of the objective

Helps create the design

Makes the design stage more efficient

Helps to choose the best materials

Disadvantages -

Need a knowledge of computers

May not show a good enough representation of materials ( Long term exposure to the elements )

JIT - An application that helps manage time, and gives alerts on when different tasks are supposed to be finished / Started, and when materials are to be expected for delivery.

Thermal Comfort - Smart Heat Pumps Increase Efficiency in buildings, sustainability, and convenience.

Ventilation - Smart Ventilation -

Increase the usability ( Via Automation from checking the room humidity and temperature ). Added Health benefits, keeps the air clean, Monitoring, improves comfort, and saves money.

Dust Extraction - Smart dust Air Purifiers, have many benefits, Like:

You will be notified before the filters need to be changed, they will allow you to save on money, by monitoring when it needs to be turned on

Energy Usage-

Smart Meters :

• Have Free Installation

• Trach energy usage & Spendings

• Low energy consumption to save more

• Easy Payments, ( Money can be added on the metre )

digital technology used during the construction of a building- first introduced in the 1970

in 1980 pc became more frequent

1982 improved architectural and engineering workflows

1990 rise of 3D cad and early BIM models enhances visualisation

BIM provides a digital representation of a building

6 levels of BIM

. robotics are types of machinery what can do dangerous jobs so it reduces the risk of injury or death in the workplace

. AI artificial intelligence can be used in construction by doing modelling and quality control

. drones can be used in construction by giving you a different view and look at the progress of the build

. mobile technology can improve efficiency by talking to stakeholders across the world

Sonny and Thomas

.BIM building information modelling

.CAM computer aided manufacturing

. CAD computer aided design

. blockchain

. wearables can monitor your health therefore you can keep check on your workers so they do not overstretch themselves

Sam

. GIT is global information tracker

. CAD able to visualize the project to help engineers see the project

. allows a clear view of the project

. helps the customer design the project

. can be more efficient producing it

. allows project delays to be cut of

. JIT just in time delivers material

Ross

.thermal comfort can decide where most if your heating will be

. ventilation comfort can decide when it escapes depending on the temperature

. dust extraction decides when it turns on depending on the air quality

. energy usage tracks on what you spend causing you to be more sustainability
