I. Objective
BIM will be used for design visualization, construction documentation, 3D coordination, and digital
fabrication.
V. BIM Uses
BIM technology will be used for the following uses on this project:
a. Visualization
b. Design Authoring
c. 3D Coordination (clash detection)
i. A process in which Clash Detection software is used during the coordination process to
determine field conflicts by comparing 3D models of building systems. The goal of clash
detection is to eliminate the major system conflicts prior to installation.
d. Digital Fabrication
i. A process that utilizes machine technology to prefabricate objects directly from a 3D Model.
The 3D model is spooled into appropriate sections and inputted into fabrication equipment
for production of system assemblies.

SD DD CD FAB Notes
deliverable
All performed scope of work shall be in 3D format except as noted in the trade specific description.
a. All models should include separate 3D representations of required clearances and/or access
requirements for equipment access, light clearances, overhead cable tray access, etc. These
clearance/access models should be in a separate layer(s) for each trade clearly labeled as such.
b. Modeled insulation should be in a separate layer from other model elements and labeled as such.
c. All 3D model files submitted for clash detection must be “clean” meaning that any extraneous 2D
references and/or 3D elements stripped are stripped from the models.
HVAC Duct:
HVAC equipment, concrete pads, bases, ductwork, plenums, terminal boxes, fire and smoke
dampers, grilles, access panels, hangers (including seismic).
HVAC Piping:
Piping types with insulation, piping materials, access panels, valves, equipment, concrete
pads, bases, flanges/coupling, hangers (including seismic), racking. Piping less than 1” will
not be coordinated and is shown for intent only.
Plumbing Drawings:
Piping types, insulation, pipe material, access panels, valves, equipment, concrete pads,
bases, flanges/couplings, hangers (including seismic), racking steel, gravity fed piping
(sloped per code), in-wall plumbing systems being prefabricated. Piping less than 1” will not
be coordinated and is shown for intent only.
Architectural Drawings:
Ceilings (hard and lay-in), soffits with framing, shaft and wall chase locations, wall thickness
and heights, exterior walls, windows.
Structural Drawings:
Footings, grade beams, elevator pits and walls, shear wall locations, precast concrete
locations, columns, beams, bracing (especially x-bracing), slabs, curbs, ramps.
VIII. Software
Any changes in software or version upgrades must be communicated to the BIM team prior to the
change or upgrade.
Examples:
HP-L01-2013-10.dwg
PL-DWV-L01-2013-10.dwg
ST-L01-2013-10.nwc
Multiple updates may be made in a given week using the same file name. The final update for the
week will be considered the final submittal for the week.
