BIM/IPD is the future of the construction industry.  The National ASCE Charles Pankow Foundation Student Competition has given me the opportunity to see just how effective it can be.


During the use of BIM/IPD, I was able to see first-hand how much time and money can be saved when you plan and communicate early in the design process.  Our team was able to exchange our data, models, and designs quicker and more efficiently during the entire process.


In the end out team was able to communicate more effectively, get work done more efficiently, and produce a better design using BIM/IPD.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐inprogress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of AEVITAS. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
