Opening Keynote Speech

Ma Siu-cheung, Eric, JPUnder Secretary for Development, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Promoting the Use of BIM in Public Works and Construction IndustryBIM is a transformative technology that would bring revolutionary

changes to the construction industry and would significantly boost

our productivity. The Development Bureau (DEVB) of the HKSAR

Government and the Construction Industry Council (CIC) are actively

promoting the use of BIM in public works and the construction

industry to get Hong Kong ready for the BIM era.

The HKSAR Government has piloted the adoption of BIM in public

works projects as early as 2009. While more than 30 public works

projects have been earmarked for using BIM in various project stages,

DEVB is formulating the long term strategic plan for using BIM

in public works from planning, design, construction to operation

and maintenance. In particular, DEVB considers that BIM brings

considerable benefits in the management of Government assets and

have earmarked two pioneer projects in Electrical and Mechanical

Services Department and Water Supplies Department respectively for

exploring the use of BIM for asset management.

The CIC is also working with full steam to promote the use of BIM in

the construction industry. It has recently published the Final Report

of the Roadmap for BIM Strategic Implementation in Hong Kong’s

Construction Industry. It is also working to devise a set of standards and

specifications for the use of BIM in construction projects in Hong Kong.

Biography Mr MA has been appointed

Under Secretary for Development of the Hong

Kong Special Administrative Region Government in

January 2014.

Mr MA is an engineer by profession with over 25

years of experience in the construction industry. He

is a fellow member of a number of professional

bodies including the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, the Chartered

Chris LockBIM Manager, Steensen Varming

Steensen Varming

Biography

Chris has worked in the industry for some 13

years as a Mechanical draftsperson and has a

strong interest in Building Information Modelling,

systems and data management. Chris has

been working towards his degree part time which he

hopes to complete next year and is the current

BIM manager at Steensen Varming.

Chris also has a strong interest in ESD and has

spent some time during his career in this field and as

part of his degree is writing his Thesis on ground source

heat rejection systems.

Chris’s current role reflects his experience over the past five years working in a similar capacity on

significant and iconic projects in a BIM capacity.

An Examination into BIM Feasibility: Working with Existing InfrastructureCan BIM bring advantages to fit outs? Are refurbishment projects in

historically listed buildings able to be efficiently designed in BIM? Can

BIM be used on small scale design work with boutique designers?

This presentation will examine a number of different techniques that

can be used to design, document, and deliver projects successfully in

BIM on existing Infrastructure based Projects.

Often we are confronted with small fees, limited scope and stake

holders that are BIM illiterate. Couple this with an aggressive

time frame and the perception can be that BIM is not the best

methodology to utilise. Over the past three years however we have

finessed our techniques and developed a framework that has been

able to provide positive outcomes and value add to every project by

utilising BIM. Using a number of workflows we have been able to

find a pattern of success which we will demonstrate by showcasing a

number of projects.

This presentation will examine the efficiencies that have been able to

be developed using analytical and process driven techniques that has

permeated throughout our company. From software based solutions

and customs scripts to more technically advanced techniques such as

Point Cloud Scanning we will demonstrate how we have leveraged

BIM in what we like to think of as intelligent, valuable and elegant

solutions.

Speaker

Kelvin TamBIM Manager, Ronald Lu and Partners

Ronald Lu and Partners

Biography

Kelvin Tam, AIA, American registered architect, LEED AP, is the BIM Manager of

Ronald Lu and Partners. He has been working as both

a designer and BIM lead on a variety of building

types in the United States’ leading design firms as

RTKL, Rossetti Architects and NBBJ. Kelvin has been a speaker at international BIM

conferences like Autodesk University, Revit Technology

Conference North America, Revit Technology

Conference Australasia and the HKIBIM Hong Kong

BIM Conference.

Power Your Design with BIM: Designing with ParametricMost architects and engineers usually think that BIM is a coordination

and documentation tool.

This presentation will surely change their way of thinking about

BIM. In fact the parametric in BIM is a powerful tool for designers

to explore limitless possibilities in design. From curtain wall tool to

surface division, from linear dimension variables to angle rotation,

from regular geometries to complex organic forms, the use of

parametric modeling can help designers to see designs beyond that

achievable by 2D sketches and drawings.

With data driven modeling, designers can even study forms which

they can hardly predict and imagine. Through parametric modeling,

designers can understand the relationship between data/information

and forms as well as the construction technology of how things are

put together.

BIM is intelligent and parametric thinking is the way to design in

future.

Gordon YuProject Manager, Summit Technology (Hong Kong) Limited

Tom LeeBIM Engineer, Summit Technology

(Hong Kong) Limited

Approaching BIM/FM Integration: Filling the Gaps for SuccessHong Kong’s AEC industry has shown promising development

and enthusiasm in practicing BIM over the past years, but we are

still attempting to define facility management in terms of BIM/FM

integration. Currently, great amount of building information are

inputted into the models during design and construction phases, and

it is only logical that we pursuit maximum utility of the data in the

form of facility management.

This presentation has one goal in mind: to seek out a new and better

solution to BIM/FM integration, and we will explore the How and

Why of BIM/FM integration. For this presentation, we reviewed a

pilot facility management project on a utility plant, and examined the

challenges and lessons our staff experienced during this study.

This project attempts to use the Construction Operations Building

Information Exchange data format (COBie) and Maximo to create a

facility management system based upon BIM models. The FM system

is intended to assist in implementing BIM on less commonly used

disciplines; whether it be financial, managerial or renovation.

This presentation does not provide a one-stop solution to BIM/FM

integration in Hong Kong, but it fills in a few missing pieces.

Ken LeungProduct Specialist, Exactal Limited

Exactal Limited

Biography

Ken Leung received a bachelor degree in

Construction Economics from the University of Technology, Sydney in

2003 and a master degree in Real Estate from the

University of Hong Kong in 2007. Before he joined his present company Exactal as a Product Specialist in 2010, he had worked as a Quantity Surveyor for

more than 10 years with experience in a full range of pre and post-contract

Quantity Surveying Services for Quantity Surveying

Firms and International Main Contractor.

Innovative BIM Solution For Project Management And Quantity SurveyingCurrently, Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction is

primarily used for 3D modelling but the database is often minimally

populated. Therefore, improvement of the configuration of data for

3D BIM file to facilitate better communication is necessary.

An innovative BIM approach can give a speedy and real time response

to design options, allowing the design to flow to an affordable cost,

and provides more comprehensive and reliable cost data upon which

latest development can be based.

To benefit from the latest BIM technology, all key members in

the project team must enhance themselves to meet new level of

challenges. Both the Project Manager and the Quantity Surveyor must

have a proven knowledge of the BIM software and an innovative

approach for re-engineering data into a more effective manner to

produce accurate quantities and better management reports.

The purpose of this study is to examine the methodology from the

BIM models to be adopted by PM or QS to measure and evaluate their

projects. In addition, it also evaluates the level of information required

for BIM models to support the local submission or measurement

rules. Finally, it recommends innovative solutions in the current

workflow to facilitate BIM measurement and management.

Ir Francis LeungAssociate Director, Construction Department, New World Development Company Limited

New World Development Company Limited

Biography Ir Leung is the Founding

Chairman of The Hong Kong Institute of Building

Information Modelling. He is a professional structural

engineer and Registered Structural Engineer having

26 years of working experience. Ir Leung

has attained extensive experience in contractor

and engineering consultant. Since 2005, he focuses

in BIM development and the practical use of BIM in

projects. Ir Leung is now in New World Construction to deploy BIM to advance the

quality and management of construction management.

A New World of BIMBIM in HK has been developing and using for almost a decade.

Although we can feel the momentum of BIM movement, BIM

application in projects is, in general, scattered with limited objectives

taken. Holistic approach of BIM to achieve the greatest value may not

have happened. Many people know something about what BIM is but

only limited people know how to make it work to achieve the greatest

value. It is understandable that the challenge may not link with the

technology itself. It may be due to the industry practice or even the

contractual and organizational setup.

The application of BIM in New World Development starting from New

World Construction is aiming at an extensive use of BIM to redefine

the work practice such at all information can be well collected,

organised and used. The redefined workflow enables our staff and all

stakeholders of the development to participate in the process. Their

value can be realized by the consistency, efficiency and accuracy of the

information. This is the New World of BIM.

Peter Wu, PE President, BIManywhere

Alice LeungProject Engineer, DPR Construction

Bridging the Gap between Design, Construction, and FM with BIMComplex building projects require sophisticated processes and tools

to ensure that access to real-time project information is maintained.

A collaborative effort between several general contractors and a

software company has led to the development of a mobile system,

BIManywhere, which simplifies access to coordinated model

information and project documentation by field personnel.

Challenges to existing BIM utilization are discussed, and how the

BIManywhere system addresses common user requirements that

answer these challenges. This is achieved through a comparatively

low-cost and accessible system with an intuitive interface that utilizes

a 2D to 3D navigational map, an innovative instant navigation system

via QR codes, and a location-based feature which overlays project

information onto the real world.

A case study will examine how a university hospital and science

building in San Francisco implements a convergence of proven

lean-construction methodology and modern technology. From field

coordination to construction QA/QC to maintenance, an integrated

process centered on the as-coordinated building information model

(BIM) was used to convey information through the boundaries of

design, construction, and operations.
