V. BIM Uses
BIM technology will be used for the following uses on this project:
a. Visualization
b. Design Authoring
c. 3D Coordination (clash detection)
i. A process in which Clash Detection software is used during the coordination process to
determine field conflicts by comparing 3D models of building systems. The goal of clash
detection is to eliminate the major system conflicts prior to installation.
d. Digital Fabrication
i. A process that utilizes machine technology to prefabricate objects directly from a 3D Model.
The 3D model is spooled into appropriate sections and inputted into fabrication equipment
for production of system assemblies.

IX. File Naming Structure
Models submitted for coordination and uploaded to the Collaboration site are to follow the file
naming structure provided below:

File Name = [Trade]-[Level/Area]-[Year]-[Week Number]

Section Example Notes

Trade AR – Architectural Optionally, the system name may be
EL – Electrical included. Examples include Electric

HD – HVAC Ductwork Plumbing Drain Waste Vent (PL-DWV)
HP – HVAC Piping
PL – Plumbing
ST – Structure

XII. Coordination Process
a. It is the Design/Construction Team’s responsibility to conduct and manage an adequate and
thorough Clash Detection process so that all major interferences between building systems will
have been detected and resolved before construction. It shall be the goal of the
Design/Construction Teams to reduce the number of changes during construction due to major
building interferences to zero. The General Contractor will lead the coordination process.

b. The general contractor will hold a preliminary BIM coordination meeting. Each Contractor must
be represented by the individual that is directly responsible for the coordination of the project.

c. The preliminary coordination meeting will establish parameters that cannot be changed during
the process such as “(0,0,0)” for all the trades to use for their drawings insertion point. Once this
is agreed upon it cannot be moved.

d. The frequency of coordination meetings will be determined by the progress of coordination and
as required to maintain the project schedule. At a minimum, coordination meetings will be held
at least once per week until coordination is complete.

e. When one or more parties are not local to the project, an online web-based meeting will be set
up for coordination meetings. An email invitation will be sent prior to the meeting with links and
instructions.

f. The General Contractor will build the federated model and generate the clash reports using
Autodesk Navisworks 2017. Each contractor revises their models based upon resolution decided
during coordination meetings, to be completed prior to the next coordination meetings.

g. File sharing software and frequency of upload will be discussed at this meeting. The General
Contractor will set up a collaboration site (http://the General Contractor.Collaboration.com).

h. All files uploaded to Collaboration shall be in NWC or DWG format. Each trade shall be
coordinated with architectural and structural prior to upload. Revit files may be uploaded in
native format, but a corresponding NWC or DWG file must be provided.

i. Weekly submittals must include a short description of changes since previous submittal
submitted via email to the entire coordination team.

j. Coordination Meetings are NOT to be used as clash detection meetings. The clash report shall be
issued in advance of the meeting or directly after the meeting.

k. Every contractor shall be represented at each meeting. The Architect and Engineers are
encouraged to attend as well.

l. Trade contractors will be responsible for resolving clashes and interferences.

m. The Architect may be required to update the Architectural design model to reflect necessary
changes that are surfaced during the coordination process.

XIII. Coordination Sign-
Sign-Off
a. Once the model is free of collisions, a sign-off meeting will be held. All trades are required to
attend. A model sign-off sheet will be issued that will include the final drawing file name (as
described above) for each trade. All trades will sign.

b. The Signed-off NWD will be uploaded to Collaboration for the use of each trade. It is the
responsibility of each trade to ensure that items that are not shown in the model are field
coordinated around all other trades.

c. Sign-off of an area does not constitute a release to build.
