AMCA

Consultant Process

2

What do you do?

IPD? (Integrated Project Delivery) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Project_Delivery

Contractors not engaged early enough(typical) Client not fully BIM aware? Software (interoperability / data exchange) Training (do staff require further training?) All of the above?

3

How does it all start

Client - concept Architect provides visual images etc. Structural involvement (can we build it?) PDF‘s, hand sketches / Google sketch up etc.. No 2D or 3D cad Oh...and lots of “MEETINGS”

Step 2

Begin design. Design begins to evolve from step 1 meetings. Simple shapes to represent plant items. Cad may be engaged? Lots of options.

Step 4

Add detail. Model all services – duct/pipe/Elec systems. Plant items are now more accurately sized. Use AMCA approved content / families. Appropriate time to use AMCA content? Generic content.

Step 5

Coordination. Accurate coordination between services / structure

and architecture. Information is passed between all members of the

design team in 3D format. Plant items have property fields which may be

empty and ready for population by contractors.

Issue Information. Hand over to contractor – DWG – RVT – PDF –

Schedules etc (everything contained within Revit). Over to Albert Watson who can describe this phase. Contractor coordinate in Revit / CadDuct? Fabrication. Installation.

Summary

AMCA agreed objects / families need to be:-

Generic, parametric, robust / well built.

If families are too complex may not be used.

Use of common AMCA families will help transition from consultant to contractor workflow.

We (construction industry) must stop re drawing information and improve work flow.
