BIM Uses
 

We are no longer accepting new case studies at this piont. Please check back later.

However feel free to email us if you need any help with your project and implementation. We also would like to document who is using the process and how successful they have been. Thanks

Call for Case Study Projects

The Penn State Computer Integrated Construction Research Group is leading a buildingSMART Alliance Project to create a BIM Project Execution Planning Procedure.  An initial version of the procedure has been developed and we are currently seeking projects that are interested in testing the procedure through a facilitated BIM Project Execution Planning process. The case study project team will benefit by gaining insight into the BIM Project Execution Planning Procedure and through the development of a Project Execution Plan for their project.  The Penn State research team will facilitate the meetings and work with the team to create the project execution plan. 

The Case Study Process

We are seeking case study projects that are interested in leveraging the use of BIM throughout multiple areas of project implementation. If the project is selected, the Penn State team will help facilitate two or three meetings with the case study project team, depending on the current planning status of the project, to develop a strategy for BIM Project Execution. Key project team members will need to participate in the meetings for planning the details regarding the exchange of information between tasks. At the end of the process, the project team will receive a BIM planning guide for effective implementation on the project. For more information about the steps necessary to create a guide please reference chapter 6 in the guide.

Project Information

  1. Project title and description


2. Description of the current status of the BIM execution planning


3. List of project participants who would participate in the planning process


4. Intended uses of BIM for the project (e.g., architecture, estimating, 4D modeling, record model, etc.)


5. Any additional information that would be helpful about the potential case study
  If the project is selected, the Penn State team will assist the project team throughout the planning process at no cost to the project team.  To benefit the buildingSMART Alliance project, the team will need to provide permission to use the case study results and findings for assessment and future publication.
