During the Brief phase, the project owner and the design team work together to define the scope, goals, and objectives of the project. This typically involves identifying the project's requirements, constraints, and stakeholders, and developing a high-level plan for the project.
The Brief phase is also an opportunity for the project owner and the design team to identify the key characteristics and features of the project, such as its size, location, function, and aesthetic. This information is used to inform the development of the BIM model and the project's plans and specifications.
The Brief phase also includes the development of a project schedule and budget, which outline the key milestones and deadlines for the project, and the estimated costs and resources required. This helps to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.
Stage 2
Concept
In the concept stage, the design team uses BIM software to create a digital model of the building or environment that represents the project's key characteristics and features. This model is used to explore and evaluate different design options, and to identify potential problems or conflicts.
In the Concept phase, the design team uses BIM software to create a digital model of the building or environment that represents the project's key characteristics and features. This model is typically a 3D representation of the building, and includes information about its geometry, materials, systems, and other aspects.
The BIM model created in the Concept phase is used to explore and evaluate different design options, and to identify potential problems or conflicts. This can include activities such as analyzing the building's form, function, and performance, and simulating different scenarios to evaluate the model's accuracy and reliability.
The Concept phase also involves coordination with other stakeholders, such as consultants, regulators, and contractors. This can include activities such as sharing the BIM model and other project information with these stakeholders, and obtaining their feedback and input to refine the model and the project's plans and specifications.
Stage 3
Definition
In this stage, the design team refines and develops the BIM model, adding more detailed information about the building's geometry, materials, systems, and other aspects. The BIM model is also used to generate the project's detailed plans, specifications, and other documents.
In the Definition phase, the design team refines and develops the BIM model, adding more detailed information about the building's geometry, materials, systems, and other aspects. This can include activities such as specifying the building's dimensions, materials, and systems in greater detail.
The BIM model created in the Definition phase is used to generate the project's detailed plans, specifications, and other documents. These documents provide the basis for the construction work, and include information such as the building's dimensions, materials, and systems, as well as the requirements for quality and performance.
