Discover how accessibility, clearance and data validation checks help teams build more inclusive, functional and reliable projects, and how Solibri makes it easy to get started<\/h2>\n<p>When people talk about use cases for building information modelling (BIM), one application almost always comes up: clash detection. And this constructibility check certainly delivers value. It spatially coordinates the project in the virtual realm to make sure nothing physically collides with anything else. This gives teams a way to meaningfully reduce rework and change orders.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, though, is that industry professionals can have near-tunnel vision here. BIM has usefulness well beyond clash detection. By focusing primarily on this check, teams miss out on valuable opportunities to drive further project wins. That, then, raises the question: how else can teams leverage the model to design and build better projects? Here are three additional BIM-enabled checks that can unlock success.<\/p>\n<h3>Accessibility checks<\/h3>\n<p>Buildings need to function for all occupants and visitors. That includes people who use wheelchairs, walkers or other accommodative devices.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, designers operate with the locally applicable accessibility standards in mind. Still, as stakeholders bring their contributions to the table, issues can arise. To accommodate a larger mechanical system, for example, someone might shorten the length of a ramp on a shop drawing.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, when the project is planned with BIM, accessibility checks can catch potential issues here. These checks guide the design team, flagging anything that doesn\u2019t comply with inclusive building design. Then, as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors contribute to the model, this kind of check continues to call attention to potential clashes.<\/p>\n<p>When the appropriate guideline is built into the BIM checking software, it can automatically look for any potential infringement on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wheelchair turning radiuses.<\/li>\n<li>Ramp requirements (slope, width, landings).<\/li>\n<li>Stair requirements (riser height, tread depth, handrails).<\/li>\n<li>Door dimensions and clearances.<\/li>\n<li>Accessibility routes.<\/li>\n<li>Restroom requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Better yet, strong accessibility check software allows users to adjust rules in alignment with occupant\/visitor needs. In the UK, building accessibility is guided by the Building Regulations Part M and the Equality Act 2010. These set out requirements like minimum space for wheelchair turning (usually around 1500mm or about 59 inches), ramp slopes, door widths and accessible toilets.<\/p>\n<p>Using BIM, you can set these standards in your models to ensure your building is inclusive and compliant. You can also adjust these parameters if you want to go beyond the minimum and create more accessible spaces for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Accessibility checks make it easier for teams to design and construct projects that serve anyone who enters it.<\/p>\n<h3>Clearance checks<\/h3>\n<p>Clash detection specifically looks for the intersection of two solids. But just because two objects don\u2019t overlap doesn\u2019t mean the space is functional.<\/p>\n<p>Consider a serviceable system that\u2019s tucked up against a wall too closely for a human to access it. Not catching this kind of clearance issue until the project is complete means rework. That can take a hefty toll on the project\u2019s budget, schedule, client schedule and even the firm\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>To solve for this, teams can deploy clearance checks, also called freespace checks. Wielding this tool in BIM means looking for the absence or presence of objects relative to each other. It gives stakeholders a way to ensure things are sufficiently far apart to be functional, or close enough to one another to meet users\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<p>Clearance detection, then, gives teams a way to create safer, easier-to-maintain spaces. It can make it simpler to build high-functioning mechanical rooms in which maintenance personnel have the access and space they need. It can ensure that corridors have enough clearance for emergency evacuations.<\/p>\n<p>Clearance checks can be tailored to the project\u2019s unique requirements, too. If a hospital needs set clear space to ensure machinery and hospital beds can manoeuvre, those parameters can be set.<\/p>\n<p>Users have the opportunity to build the project\u2019s needs into their clearance check processes. They can define target elements and set spatial boxes around them. Then the model checking software automatically scans the entire project for any potential conflicts.<\/p>\n<h3>Data validation checks<\/h3>\n<p>Also called a property check, this process verifies that model elements align with the project\u2019s data standards. Specifically, it allows users to check elements against any standards for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accuracy.<\/li>\n<li>Consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the data saying goes, \u201cgarbage in, garbage out\u201d. That\u2019s as true of BIM as any other data application. When the data in the model isn\u2019t reliable, it results in a faulty tool. Trying to run clash detection, accessibility checks or freespace checks becomes an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n<p>As firms expand their BIM maturity, bad data in the model can have ripple-out effects. If the firm employs 4D BIM for scheduling, 5D BIM for project costing or 6D BIM for sustainability efforts, problems in the model can prevent teams from reaching their sequencing, budget or environmental impact goals. The issues expand if the owner uses the model for a digital twin or operations and maintenance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cUsing BIM, you can set these standards in your models to ensure your building is inclusive and compliant.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is all particularly troublesome because interoperability has long been a challenge for BIM users. If the modelling software used by, say, the electrical contractor doesn\u2019t play nicely with the GC\u2019s authoring platform, it could potentially introduce inaccuracies. Data validation checks give stakeholders an automated way to look for potential problems. Better yet, leading-edge BIM technologies provide a platform-agnostic solution. Today, users can operate in a browser-based environment to perform property checks. This prevents the need to toggle back and forth between platforms, which can create data integrity issues.<\/p>\n<p>An easier and more effective property check means a more reliable model. As a result, this validation process builds user trust in both the model and any BIM processes for which it\u2019s used.<\/p>\n<p>That makes the model useful for not just the checks we\u2019ve outlined here but for other applications, too. With an accurate, consistent model, teams can perform automated material take-offs, for example.<\/p>\n<h3>Unlocking project wins with BIM<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/from-risk-to-reliability-with-solibris-cloud-based-bim-model-validation\/150212\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Building information modelling<\/a> allows teams to catch and address issues when they\u2019re still in the virtual realm \u2014 and, consequently, much faster, cheaper and easier to fix.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t only encompass the collision of two solids, although clash detection is absolutely a useful tool. By allowing stakeholders to check for compliance with accessibility standards, the model helps teams build more inclusive spaces for everyone. With freespace checks, BIMverified buildings become safer and easier to maintain. And with data validation checks, everyone using the model can have a high level of confidence it will deliver these wins.<\/p>\n<p>If performing all of these checks seamlessly sounds appealing, deploy Solibri.
