Here is the Project Details Follows:

Objective:

The purpose of this project is to develop a BIM 3D model of a housing project and analyse the created model. The envelope of the project will be given as a .dwg file, a preview is shown at the end of this assignment, the layout will have to be determined by the project group and visualise different phases of the construction from start to finish. Therefore, you should define the layout for the house including a predetermined list of rooms and initially develop the architectural, structural, MEP model by following the plan you defined for the house. After making the design (architectural, structural and MEP) model, the next phase is to analyse clash detection, quantity take-off, 4D schedule development, and solar and energy analysis.

Project Requirements:

1. Create teams of 4 people. Teams with a number of members less than 4 students will only be considered and accepted if all other students in the class have been allocated to groups. Any problem in this regard should be discussed with the course coordinator.

2. Register the teams (name and ID) on Canvas. Select a team name. Also, each team should discuss and propose one layout for this final project work.

3. Data representing the project should be relatively real (for example, architectural, structural, MEP plan) and assumptions made clearly justified.

4. The BIM models should consider the following details:

Architectural model (Revit):

• Wall, door, window, floor, roof, curtain wall, railing, staircase
• Dimensions and types should be based on the real project (not fixed but try to make it real as much as possible, don’t worry about the rationality)

Structural Model (Revit):

• Consider only footing, beam, and column as structural Discard other elements.
• Dimensions and types should be based on the real project (not fixed but try to make it real as much as possible, don’t worry about the rationality)

MEP model (Revit):

• Air-conditioning system, switch panels, lighting fixtures, plumbing and sanitary system
• Dimensions and types should be based on a real building (not fixed but try to make it real as much as possible, don’t worry about the rationality)

Solar and Energy analysis (Revit):

• Generate an energy analysis report
• Conduct solar analysis

Federated model (Navisworks):

• Bring all your previous models into Navisworks manage.
• Perform clash detection.
• Perform quantity take-off.
• Based on the quantity develop a real schedule.
• Simulate the schedule based on the time.

5. The final submission will include the Revit and Navisworks models, the analysis reports/videos, the technical report, and peer-assessment.

• 5 model files: i) an architectural model in Revit, ii) a structural model in Revit, iii) an MEP model in Revit, iv) a merged (architectural, structural, MEP) model in Navisworks which should have clash detection analysis, quantity take-off and 4D schedule, v) a merged model in Revit which should have solar analysis.
• 5 analysis reports/videos: i) an energy analysis report, ii) a solar analysis video, iii) a clash detection report, iv) a quantity take-off schedule, v) a 4D simulation video.
• 1 technical report: between 3,000 and 3,500 words.
• 1 peer-assessment

6. Each team can organise technical meetings with the lecturers and TAs to review the progress and solve different issues related to the project.

Structure of Technical Report

The technical report of the simulation project should contain at least the following elements:

• Cover page
• Abstract
• Index
• Introduction and objectives
• Work plan (methodological steps that were carried out for developing and executing BIM implementation in the project from start to finish)
• Description of the model and analysis (architectural element details, structural element details, MEP element details, energy analysis details, clash detection details, quantity take off details, project schedule)
• Discussions and conclusions
• References
• Anything else the team deems necessary to describe the project properly

Project team Presentation:

The project team should develop an oral presentation based on the BIM project and process. Following are the guidelines to consider for the classroom presentations:

-Presentations are delivered by the team, i.e. the 4 students will present a portion of their joint project. Please follow the outline of your written report to present your project findings. You will use Powerpoint as the standard to carry out the presentation.

-Presentations should take no more than 8 min. Students will present 2 minutes each approximately.

-A 2-minute questions round will follow the presentation. In this round of questions, the lecturers, TAs and students can participate and ask questions.

-Presentations will take place on 20 October during lecture time and on 23 October during the tutorial time.

Peer-assessment:

The members of the team should assess the contribution of the peers. So they have to self-assess the participation of the team members scoring their performance between 0 and 5 marks.

Assessment Rubric:

Here is the ground level and level 1 measurements.
