Assessment 03 Brief

BLCN29005-Building Information Modeling Term 3 – 2024

DueDate-Week 12 Friday (7 February 2025) 11:59 PM (BrisbaneTime)

Assessment 3 evaluates BIM knowledgeand software skills concerning the delivery stageof construction projects. In addition to software skills gained from the tutorials, students willundertake research to complete this assessment. Students will use Autodesk Revit (2020 orlater) and Autodesk Navisworks (2023 or later) to illustrate their skills on design changes, 3Dcoordinationand4D(timeintegration)and5D(costintegration)modelling.Inadditiontodigitalskill development, it is expected that students will understand the benefits and challenges ofBIM compared to traditional project delivery.

Question 1(50marks)

This part focuses on students information management and communication skills using Revit. Assume that you are an architect. Your client Matt Smith is a new property developer and hasrequestedyourassistancewithestimatingthepreliminarycostofa 4x2doublestorydwelling. The EIRs are provided to you and as below:

Matt wants the preliminary design in Revit 2020 (or later). All EIRs must be extracted directly from the preliminary design authoring model, expect the referenceinformation that the preliminary cost of the house (for all areas)must be based onthe rate of AUD 2320persquaremeter.Theclienthasinformedyou thattheroom sizemustbeLOD200.

  1. Considering the problem description, develop the preliminary architecturalYou may use Revit masses or key building elements [it is recommended to use LOD100 for building elements such as walls, roof and floors]. You must assume room sizes for your design.
  2. Derive the preliminary cost estimate using
  1. The client has requested the information models in the data formats mentioned Produce the required output [These must be submitted for grading].

  1. Assume that the client has accepted the preliminary design. Now you are tasked with developing the design development (architectural) model. The EIRs remained the same as mentioned in the problem description. Produce the:
    1. Revised3D model;
    2. Revised floor plan; and
    3. Revised room area schedule

Your submission must include the outcomes from Steps 3 and 4. The files must be named followingthenamingconventionrecommendedbytheUKNationalAnnextoISO19650(seeFigure 1).

YouaredetectingclashesbetweennumerousSystemTypesavailableintheMEPmodel and the Structural model. Clash reports must be sent to the appropriatedesigner (relevant system type engineer or structural engineer) as HTML files tofacilitate design amendments. Following the detailed process map above, complete clashmanagement(i.e., design tests andmanaging results)usingClash Detective.Use “Hard Clash” as the Clash Type.

You must submit

  1. The NWD file which includes the federated model and the Clash Detective exercise
  2. Class reports as HTML files

Question3(25marks)
