5. Critical Plan Strategies:
General Contractor-
Role in following BIM use:
• Cost Estimation- Providing market price data for construction
materials and labor cost.
• Building System Analysis- Following sustainable design codes and
checking on referred electrical consumption data.
• 4D- Modelling- Planning and time scheduling.
• Engineering Analysis- Checking on codes in BIM Tool at each
construction phase.
BIM Project Execution Plan
6. Engineer-
Role in following BIM Use:
• Design Authoring: Authoring of Structural Model using Autodesk Revit
software
• Coordination: Rectification of conflicts in different models detected through
BIM Tool
• Cost Estimation: If estimated cost exceeds set budget constraints then
reviewing the model and making necessary design changes if possible without
compromising quality.
• 4D Modelling: Assisting General Contractor in Collision Detection through
Navisworks Model and also rectifying the conflict areas accordingly.
• Building System Analysis: Checking and analysis of each construction
phase and also operational phase of warehouse in terms of sustainability and
efficient energy requirements.
BIM Project Execution Plan
7. Architect:
Role in following BIM Use:
• Site Layout & Planning:
1. Layout Planning & measurements - 2D drawings - reference for design teams.
2. Overview of project requirements and getting started for architectural as well as
structural models.
• Design Authoring:
Architectural model is a scale model which is used for show & presentation for
referring 3D view of warehouse. Autodesk Revit was used to finalize this model.
• Coordination:
After coordination checks, if architectural conflicts are detected then architect is
responsible to remove the conflict areas in concern with the client as architectural
model firstly refers to client requirements.

10. HVAC Engineer:
Role in following BIM Use:
• Coordination:
HVAC Model will also be analyzed in the coordination stage to check for any conflicts
between different models and phase. So, it is necessary for HVAC Engineer to participate
in the check process and rectify the conflicts in concern with different departments and
models.
• Cost Estimation:
If the estimated cost exceeds budget constraint then HVAC Engineer will be assisting
Engineer in his model where models will be reviewed for better solutions to get under
budget constraint without compromising quality.
14. Addressing Information Gaps:
• In "Site Modeling & Planning”, the finalized drawings should have been from
3D AutoCAD to give the design teams an exact approach in their modeling
process.
• In "3D Designing" phase, the design teams of different trades should have
coordination in the early stages of modeling which will reduce rectification
capital, time and as well as energy consumption.
• Pre requisite draft which clarifies the scope of each trade separately and at the
end concentrating on the scope of project. All the design teams should have
thorough knowledge about each other's scope so as to reduce rework and
rectification cost.
15. Lessons Learnt:
• Early realization of “Data Gap” and finding ways to address those gaps.
• There should be a pre-requisite data for every BIM use, collaboration and
planning which will make the coordination more efficient.
• Departmental and phase oriented scope should go hand in hand with scope
of the whole project.
• BIM Models have better user interface, geometric representation with
detailed and precise design measurements similar to real world.
• Models in a BIM Tool can be networked easily for supporting time
dependent decision making.
• Energy performance analysis can be very well executed in a BIM Tool
where it can reduce simulation errors during modelling and building
operations.
