Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
firm based in New York, has been using BIM models as a basis for their bidding
documents. When all steel bidders are given a 3D model of the structure, they
automatically have an accurate tonnage and piece count. Moreover, at the time of
the contract award, a fully developed model is already available and time is not
wasted on creating a model based on 2D plans. The positive feedback from bidders
has confirmed that this process expedites bidding and the creation of shop drawings.
With a highly complex structure, such as the Mets Stadium in Queens, New York,
WSP reduced the shop drawing process by approximately one month (Smilow,
2007). Additionally, projects with extremely compressed schedules are seeing
considerable time savings by using Early Steel Detailing. With this method, steel
erection can begin immediately following the release of construction documents.
