CEE 4140: Building Information Modeling in Construction Fall 2023 Assignment 3: BIM in Construction Name: Fukhraj Khairy The following questions are associated to articles about the construction industry and BIM. Students should read each article and submit responses to each question. The assignment should be submitted as one document (either Word or PDF file type) on Canvas. The assignment is due by 5:00 PM on Sept. 11 th . Article 1: “3D Robotics Site Scan Drones Adds BIM Skills for Construction” in Robotics Trends Article Link: https://www.roboticsbusinessreview.com/rbr/3d_robotics_site_scan_drone_adds_bim_skills_f or_construction/ 1) Identify 3 benefits to implementing “Site Scan” technology on construction projects. (5 points) - Early identification of problems, allowing for timely fixes and cost savings. - Digitization of the construction site, making it easier to compare the site as built versus as designed throughout the process - Ability to measure the amount of raw material available for a job 2) Identify 3 limitations to implementing “Site Scan” technology on construction projects. (5 points) - Cost of the technology and training required to use it effectively - Dependence on weather conditions for successful drone flights and image capture - Privacy concerns related to the use of drones on construction sites 3) How often does the Site Scan used to collect aerial images for PCL’s Orlando district? (6 points) The frequency of Site Scan use for PCL's Orlando district is not mentioned in the given article. ______________________________________________________________________________ Article 2: “BIM-Based Fall Hazard Identification and Prevention in Construction Safety Planning” Posted on Canvas 1) Identify three areas that BIM can potentially improve construction safety performance. (6 points) BIM can potentially improve construction safety performance in three areas: fall hazard identification and prevention, safety rule-checking, and safety communication and collaboration. 2) Identify the five procedures for the rule-checking process in BIM. (6 points) The five procedures for the rule-checking process in BIM are: (1) rule identification, (2) rule validation, (3) rule implementation, (4) rule visualization, and (5) rule reporting.

(6 points) The two mitigation strategies implemented by the rule-checking model to correct fall hazards on construction sites are: (1) interactive solutions, which allow safety managers to interact with the model to identify and mitigate hazards, and (2) automatic solutions, which automatically identify and mitigate hazards based on pre-defined rules. 4) What are the five functional prerequisites that are important to enable BIM-based safety planning for commercially available BIM platforms? (6 points) The five functional prerequisites that are important to enable BIM-based safety planning for commercially available BIM platforms are: (1) scheduling and simulation, (2) hazard identification and visualization, (3) safety rule-checking, (4) safety communication and collaboration, and (5) safety performance evaluation. ______________________________________________________________________________ Article 3: “Accessing Productivity Improvement of Quick Connection Systems in the Steel Construction Industry Using Building Information Modeling (BIM)” 8) Based on findings from the article, what are most BIM applications currently limited to what three functions? (6 points) According to the article, most BIM applications are currently limited to design, visualization, and clash detection. 9) What is the estimated cost of interoperability issues in the construction industry per year? (6 points) The article does not provide an estimated cost of interoperability issues in the construction industry per year. 10) What source is used to determine the productivity rate for the study? (6 points) The productivity rate for the study is determined using a unit rate labor productivity and material attributes database. 11) What is the conventional productivity rate units of the steel workers shown on Table 1? (6 points) The conventional productivity rate units of the steel workers shown on Table 1 are work hours. 12) What is the anticipated percentage of work hours saved by implementing the quick connections system versus the conventional methods? (6 points) The proposed steel connection system used 38% fewer work hours than conventional steel connection (bolt and weld) systems did on the model project. ______________________________________________________________________________ Article 4: “Field Construction Management Application through Mobile BIM and Location Tracking Technology” Posted on Canvas
