 INTRODUCTION

• BIM is a digital representation of a building's physical and

functional characteristics.
• It enables collaboration among architects, engineers, and
contractors from the early design stages to project completion.

projects.

BIM 360
BIM 360 is a cloud-based platform that enables real-time collaboration and
information sharing among project teams, improving decision-making.
BIM Workflow Process
BIM Workflow Process
1 Design Phase
In this phase, architects create a 3D model of the building, incorporating all necessary
design elements and project requirements.

2 Construction Phase
During construction, BIM is utilized for accurate project sequencing, clash detection,
and coordination among subcontractors.

• Creation of a new project in primavera
• Assign project title and start date
• Defining each activity in each milestone
• Allocation of resources of each activity among (civil manhours, PEB works, machinery)
• Declaration of time for each activity

24
 Calculation of overall budget and time from
individual activities
• Open Revit and import the 3D model into it
• Go to Analyze tab in their energy optimization tab
• In that set the location and site accordingly as mentioned below
• In advanced energy settings set the changes accordingly
• Create System zones from the model
• Generate Energy model from there

 Perform system analysis of Annual Building Energy Simulation and run analysisOptimize the
energy and environmental performance using optimization tab.

• Hence the energy analysis of building comes to end

Results

26
 DISCUSSIONS
• we can actually monitor even the reinforcement details in the structure

• There can be a tremendous increase in quality and great decrease in time and
cost of the projects using four dimensional (4D) and clash detection of building
information models (BIM)

• BIM have a greater importance for the proper optimized planning of

construction projects

• There is scope for development of ten dimensional (10D) BIM by

implementing Construction Industrialization.
27
 CONCLUSIONS
• This model can be used for planning, design, construction, and operation of the
resources and facility of the construction project.

• BIM helps to architects, engineers, and constructors visualize what is to be built

in a simulated environment to identify any potential design, construction, or
operational issues.

• PRIMAVERA has been used for creation of the schedules and these are linked
with the Revit for 3D modeling, and 4D model created by using Navisworks
Timeliner software.
