Assignment report

TASK 1 - PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT

This purpose of this task is to enhance and assess the level of knowledge of students concerning adopting Building Information Modelling (BIM) on construction projects. This task intends to enhance students' knowledge on BIM, and their capability to plan, identify and estimate the resources and requirements for the adoption of BIM on real-life projects.

This assessment task addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit:
LO1: Identify and explain current information management systems available for construction projects.
LO2: Demonstrate the ability to create, collate, analyse, store and disseminate information for construction projects using appropriate tools.
LO4: Demonstrate an understanding of principles of effective verbal, written and graphic communication applied in the construction industry.

REQUIREMENTS

Your tasks entail preparing a report for a large-sized construction project in order to assist a contractor in decision-making on adopting BIM on the project. It is expected that you include items below in your report. Each section should have a heading (to find more on how to write a good report, please refer to the provided information and links on Moodle).

1. Explain and define BIM and its concepts using ‘BIM' key terms in your own language:
2. Explain both the positive and negative aspects of implementing BIM
3. Identify the standards, guidelines and documents that can assist you in delivering a BIM project (please focus on Australian documents), and a brief description of each one.
4. Identify some of the tools used and what they are used for
5. Justify how implementing BIM can benefit in delivering a large size project and the tools you would use.

Assignment 2

This purpose of this quiz is to improve and assess the students' knowledge on BIM and ability of students in working with leading authoring ICT/BIM tools. This quiz addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit:

LO3: Apply basic knowledge of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and information management tools on construction projects.
LO2: Demonstrate the ability to create, collate, analyse, store and disseminate information
for construction projects using appropriate tools.

Assignment 3 BIM model

PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT

This purpose of this task is to improve and assess the ability of students in working with leading authoring BIM tools and show the concept of 3D design. This assessment task addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit:

• ULO3: Apply basic knowledge of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and information management tools on construction projects.
• ULO2: Demonstrate the ability to create, collate, analyse, store and disseminate information for construction projects using appropriate tools.

REQUIREMENTS

Please find attached a 2D plan for a typical residential building. Your task will be preparing a 3D model and a drawing set of this building in Revit Architecture considering the requirements below.

1. Level 1 (ground level) view of the 3D model is identical to the attached plan.

2. Add necessary objects to complete a 3D model for the building. Essential elements:
roof, floor, walls, windows, doors, furniture and tags to describe each part of the model.
3. You need to upload several Revit families as necessary to create the model.
4. The height of all the walls is 3m and the surrounding walls should align with the edges of the floor.
5. You can select any reasonable type of objects in the model for necessary elements such as the roof.
6. The Revit model should be without errors (e.g. overlapping walls, walls on top of each other, detached walls and the roof, misleading material, naming convention, etc.).
7. All naming (including type and family names) to be reasonable and organised.
8. Marks will be allocated based on the level of detail and general quality of the completed model. General quality refers to the coherence of the model, use of reasonable materials, allocation and using proper tags for different areas of the model.
9. The submissions files are in Revit 2019 format alongside a PDF file:
10. The Revit file will include a reasonable drawing set of site plan, plans, elevations and sections, 3D views, etc.
11. The PDF file comprises the drawing set output mentioned above.
12. A rubric is provided for this task. Students are encouraged to use this in preparing their submission.
13. If any information is missing, please make a reasonable assumption or seek your
lecturer's help.
14. Students need to present their work and gain the confirmation of their progress at least in 2 seminar sessions.

Assignment 4

Presentation and group report

TASK - PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT

This purpose of this task is to improve and assess the skills of students in working with leading BIM tools and collaboration packages. The purpose is to acquire experience in working collaboratively to solve problems on real life constriction projects. This assessment task addresses the following unit learning outcomes for this unit.

LO3: Apply basic knowledge of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and information
management tools on construction projects.
LO2: Demonstrate the ability to create, collate, analyse, store and disseminate information
for construction projects using appropriate tools.
LO4: Demonstrate an understanding of principles of effective verbal, written and graphic communication applied in the construction industry.

REQUIREMENTS (Report + Presentation)

As a team on a construction project, you are responsible for creation and assessing a federated model. Your will prepare a professional report for a building project (the associated 3D models will be provided on Moodle). Your task will be working collaboratively within your team according to the details described below.

• Each group consists of four students formed entirely within activity sessions.
• Group formation shall consider individual and collective skill sets for the tasks.
• Groups will be given several discipline models for creation of a federated model using Navisworks Manage.

Part 1 of the Report: Describes the collaboration procedures, description of roles and responsibilities of members, lessons learned, etc. This is all about how you have collaborated in completing the job and what you have learned (~1000 + words).

Note: - This is a detailed report and reflection on the group's performance. It must also include the level of participation of each student and what they contributed.

Part 2 of the report: Completing, sharing and writing the outcome of the tasks below (~3000 words):

I. Federating discipline models into one model (*.NWD file) for extraction of knowledge.

II. Provide a list of 10 coordination issues (Clashes) and a visual representation of each one and an explanation of what the issue is and a solution.

III. Quantity take-off for the federated model must including walls, doors, windows in the model. (This can be in Excel format). The extracted data must be refined to show the actual quantities. (example will be shown in class)

IV. Safety checks of the federated model and identifying 10 safety issues by walking around the ‘as built' model and visual representation of each issue accompanied by a short statement of the issues and what is required to fix the problem.

V. Prepare a scheduling plan for Architecture and structural elements to create a 4D presentation. This must encompass the architectural elements of the model.

VI. Students will use an online collaboration tool (e.g. A360) in completion of the tasks.

PRESENTATION

Students are required to orally present their findings to peers in other groups utilising a PowerPoint file (10 minutes for each group).
