When working in BIM360/Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)

1. Incomplete Mechanical and Electrical Views set-up at RIBA Stage 4:
   • The mechanical model at the completion of RIBA Stage 4 lacked specific export views separate for pipework and ductwork, which are necessary for automatic clash detection within the discipline.
   • Similarly, the electrical model did not have designated views for lighting and containment systems for the ACC export
2. Issues with Automatic Clash Detection:
   • The BIM360/Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) failed to detect clashes between duct and pipework, as well as lighting and containment. This was primarily due to the absence of specific views necessary for effective clash detection.
   • The reliance on automated processes without proper Quality Assurance (QA) protocols led to these clashes being overlooked, highlighting a gap in the project's QA and coordination processes. </aside>

1. Enhanced Project Information Model (PIM) Collaboration:
   • Integrate a mandatory requirement in the Post-Appointment BIM Execution Plan (BEP) to include specific views for pipework, ductwork, lighting, and containment within the mechanical and electrical models.
   • Ensure that these specific views are part of the standard process for model checking and clash detection.
2. Strengthening QA and Coordination Processes:
   • Develop a more robust QA process that does not solely rely on automation for clash detection. This should include manual checks and cross-disciplinary reviews.
   • Regular coordination meetings between the mechanical and electrical teams to ensure early identification and resolution of potential clashes.

Key Takeaways:

.

1. Importance of correct process:
   • The need for detailed and specific views in BIM models is critical for effective clash detection and project success, it should be documented as part of the coordination process.
2. Balancing Automation with Manual Overview:
   • While automation in clash detection is beneficial, it is essential to balance it with manual quality checks and team coordination to capture all potential issues.
3. Proactive Collaboration:
   • Early and proactive collaboration between different disciplines can prevent significant issues and project delays. </aside>
