The role of Clash Detection in the design game is top stuff in a multi-discipline project. Typically, this is a function reserved for the BIM Manager or a similar role

Let’s twist this theory and let the design teams review their own Team models against others. BIM 360 Coordinate has just the tool to do so. The ability to compare models and avoid clashes on a continuous basis could be incredibly efficient.

Let’s examine what a simple Clash Detection application can bring to a project if the right people are given the right tools.

Topics include:

• Clash Avoidance v Clash Detection
• Working with the Latest Models
• Reviewing Clashes
• Issues or Non-Issues
• Active Clashes v Closed Clashes

In this workshop, Graitec will be covering the workflows and software available in the AEC Collection for processing and manipulating 3D Point cloud data

We will look at different ways in which we can obtain Point Clouds. From Laser scanning to photogrammetry, through the use of Autodesk Recap. We will optimise the data for use downstream in the other authoring packages such as Autodesk Revit — showing you the benefits of cropping the data, creating regions and various export options.

Moving on, we will look at best practise for using Point Cloud data inside of Autodesk Revit. Creating custom views with custom view ranges to help the clarity of the point cloud view. Best practise for tracing and assimilating the data into a 3d Revit model. We will also take a look at other tools available on the market for converting the Point Cloud automatically into 3d geometry.

We will see how we can use point cloud data for coordination in Navisworks. When it comes to bringing the whole project together, imagine using the newly built Structural building to check that the MEP model fits before fabrication begins, or looking at our project timeline and using up to date site scans to see if we are on target.

Many contractors have staff working on large civil and infrastructure projects using software outside of their controlled Oracle Primavera P6 master programme, such as MS Excel and MS Project. Often this is because they find P6 too complex or costly for those outside the core planning team to use, such as when developing short-term programmes that expand on the level of detail held in the master programme

Whatever the reason, getting data exported, updated and imported back into P6 leads to errors and inaccuracies; breaking the link between the master programme and the individual project. These products are also not tailored to the environment in which they are used, as well as often costing more than is first thought.

This webinar will show you how you can check out sections of a project from P6 and update the schedule with a user-friendly interface within a cost-effective solution.

Our experienced presenter will show you how many organisations are increasingly working with Powerproject as a better user experience and how you can:

• Check out data from Primavera P6 into Powerproject
• Update progress easily – including via mobile devices on site
• Print reports for easy communication
• Reduce costs with shared licensing.

In addition, Powerproject includes tools for Risk Analysis and Schedule Quality Checking, providing another reason to explore the benefits it can bring to your work.

Where matters, right? It certainly does when you are trying to coordinate your models. To get all the different disciplines to talk to each other in the same language when it comes to position can get a little tricky can’t it

Putting a Revit model into a Civil model for example, sometimes it lands in the right place, sometimes it a little off. Occasionally you can’t find where it has gone it’s so far away!

Size also matters! Sometimes it comes in at the right scale, sometimes it’s massive, or tiny!

“Why is it not simple?” I hear you ask! “Why don’t they all use the same coordinate system?”

Watching this webinar will explain all. It will clear the fog and give you a deeper understanding of coordinates, what they are and why we have different systems.

In this Webinar you will see:

• An explanation of AutoCAD and Revit Coordinates
• An explanation of Geographical Coordinates
• A whistle-stop demonstration of how to get a Revit model to line up with AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Infraworks

The challenges of project planning/scheduling on many infrastructure and maintenance projects (e.g. roads, railways, pipelines, etc.) depends not only on what things happen but also where they happen

The location is often a key driver in how the project needs to be organised. It is impossible to meet that parameter with the classic project planning systems (e.g. P6, Powerproject, Microsoft Project, etc.) and you need to understand and use the Time-Chainage (Linear Planning, March charts, etc.) technique.

Join Elecosoft’s 30-minute webinar to find out more. Our experienced presenter understands the challenges of construction planning and will show how, with Tilos, you can use the distance component to fully define the scope of work and plan in a new way.

While commercial modular construction represents only 3% of overall commercial construction, this building method remains one of the most interesting and misunderstood, dating back to Egypt’s Great Pyramids

Advances in technology and trends, however, have made modular construction an extremely flexible and efficient process in today’s environmentally-conscious market, where up to 90% of a building is constructed in a quality-controlled factory using traditional building materials, then shipped to a final destination and assembled to form a seamless building.

The growth in workplace wellbeing initiatives has become evident in recent years. We have been witnessing great eagerness among building owners and operators for providing physical offices that can optimise occupants’ wellbeing and productivity. Pre-Covid-19, physical measures such as improvement of indoor air quality and thermal comfort were being considered in workplaces. But how will these wellbeing initiatives change post-pandemic?

Further description: Improvement in ventilation will surely get the top priority as it is an important factor in preventing the virus from spreading indoors. Nick Blake, principal FM consultant at BSRIA, will discuss the steps that need to be considered to ensure your ventilation strategy is secure.

The Covid pandemic has also radically altered the way we use and share public spaces. The built environment has become a hostile environment that affects our freedom of movement, comfort, and safety. Can accessible and sensory design help us reimagine workplaces of the future? Jason Slocombe, senior architect and director at Le Lay Architects, will share with us his experience about designing accessible workplaces in the age of a pandemic.

There is also a growing interest in social value when new buildings are being designed and developed. Buildings can be used as a powerful tool to generate wider social value. It is apparent that social value will be one of the biggest trends in the coming years when we are in the “new normal”. Element 4’s Georgia Elliott-Smith will explain how developers can support their neighbourhoods, bringing health, wellbeing, amenity and equity to the local community rather than sitting separate from it.

As projects get underway, the construction schedule needs to be progressed and updated to develop an as-built schedule. This as-built schedule will be used to notify the owner of the current status of the project and alert the subcontractors of upcoming work items. The contractor will also utilise the as-built schedule – for comparing to the baseline schedule to analyse variances from the initial schedule, as well as from month to month

In addition, the baseline and the as-built schedules can be utilised to perform Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to document and justify time extensions. Powerproject allows the users to identify and document new tasks, identify the impacts on the completion date, develop the fragnet, compare to the baseline, and print as documentation for time extension requests.

This webinar will focus on the ease with which Powerproject enables the users to develop a TIA.

• Develop the baseline process
• Discuss which schedule to use
• Adding new tasks or splitting existing tasks for the impacts and changes
• Coding to document new task and fragnet
• Analyze the effect on the project completion date
• Printing to show the fragnet to request the time extension.
