Next-Level BIM: Enabling Full Model Coordination Across Construction Project Teams
14 May 2019
Building information modeling (BIM) is an increasingly important component of construction project delivery, but effective and comprehensive model management can be challenging due to limited collaboration, a reliance on multiple applications, and missing integrations, among other factors.
This leads to uncertainty,
misunderstanding, and inadequate access to accurate models, which
increases the risk of errors.
To help the industry overcome these challenges, we have launched
Oracle Aconex Model Coordination Cloud Service.
The easy-to-use
cloud solution enables construction design and project
professionals to collaboratively BIM models across the entire project
team in a true common data
environment (CDE).
The most important aspects of Oracle Aconex Model Coordination are the
following:
Single Source of Truth for Project Data
With Oracle Aconex Model
Coordination, project-wide BIM participation drives productivity with
faster processes and cycle times, enables a single source of truth for
project information, and delivers a fully connected data set at handover
for asset operation.
Based on Open BIM standards
The Model Coordination solution
enhances Oracle Aconex’s existing CDE capabilities, which are built
around Open BIM standards (e.g., IFC 4 and BCF 2.1) and leverage a
cloud-based, full model server to enable efficient, secure, and
comprehensive model management at all stages of the project lifecycle.
Compliant to international standards
The Oracle Aconex CDE, which is
based on ISO 19650 and DIN SPEC 91391 definitions, provides
market-leading neutrality, security, and data interoperability.
By enabling model management in this environment, Oracle Aconex unlocks
new levels of visibility, coordination, and productivity across people
and processes, including enabling comprehensive model-based issue and
clash management.
Key features of the new solution include:
-
Seamless clash and design issue management and resolution in one platform
-
Dashboard overview and reporting on status and progress
-
Creation of viewpoints – personal “bookmarks” within models–and the linking of documents to objects
-
Integrated measurements of various model elements
-
Process support and full audit trail with the supply chain
“Issues with model management
means projects go over budget, run over schedule, and end up with a
higher total cost of ownership for the client. As part of the early
access program for Oracle Aconex Model Coordination, it was great to
experience how Oracle has solved these challenges,” said Davide Gatti,
digital manager,
Multiplex.
Reduces complexity
The average number of applications
used in a BIM project is 15, which presents challenges for project
teams. By eliminating the need for various point solutions, Oracle
Aconex Model Coordination reduces this complexity and streamlines BIM
processes.
With Oracle Aconex Model Coordination, we’re making the whole model
management process as seamless and easy as possible. By integrating
authoring and validation applications to the cloud, users don’t need to
upload and download their issues and clashes anymore.
There’s so much noise and confusion around BIM and CDEs, much of it
driven by misinformation in the market about what each term means. We
believe everybody on a BIM project should work with the best available
tool for their discipline.
Therefore, open formats are critical for interoperability, and the use
of a true CDE is key to efficient and effective model management as part
of the next-level BIM project delivery.
