Knowledge for everyday project work

Practical articles you can use at work

Start with the task you need to solve: clarifying BIM deliverables, checking a cost estimate, planning flow or getting an overview of buildings and information. The articles bring together experience from network talks and link to the recordings they draw on. Each article states the date of its source material.

• BIM execution plans: specify the information you needHow an owner's information needs can become clear BIM deliverables, with examples of area requirements, door ordering and a shared execution plan.
• From BIM model to reliable cost estimateExamples from Solibri, ISY Calcus and Anker show how model quantities and properties should be checked before they are used in an estimate.
• Reusing building materials requires planned logisticsExamples from Oslo and the Molde region show how dismantling, transport, storage and documentation need to be planned for building material reuse.
• Digital property portfolios: start with rooms and areasSee how rooms, zones and areas can connect BIM and property management, with examples from Tindx and Skogli Digital.
• Fewer digital time-wasters in construction projectsSpecific work tasks can guide improvements and dialogue with IT suppliers when duplicate entry and moving documents waste time.
• Lean, takt, Scrum and VDC: how do the methods fit together?See how clarifying needs, design and production planning can support each other, with examples from Contech's presentations on VDC and flow.
• Product information from ordering to operationsDoor ordering, product identification and electronic order confirmations show how information can follow building products through the value chain.
• Scanning and 360-degree images for site visits and dialogueChoose photographic surveys, point clouds or model-based panoramas according to what the customer, consultant or owner needs to understand and assess.
