Construction documents are routinely marked-up by hand and turned over in the form of as-built drawing sets, which are of little use to clients after a project is complete. EMJ creates 3D as-built models representing real conditions for each trade. This process lays the groundwork for clients to engage in long-term facility and asset management planning in the most efficient, modern way possible. 3D As-Builts
ACTION
RESULT
DISCOVER EMJ meets with the client and facility managers early in the execution phase to define goals and expectations for the end of the job. Designers and subcontractors are notified with contractual terms, if necessary, so that correct as-built delivery can take place. PREPARE As the end of the project approaches, EMJ assures that all information to be turned over is comprehensive and accurate to include: • Trade coordination results • Shop drawing results • As-built conditions verified through laser scanning or other means • MEP room equipment locations reflected accurately
EMJ delivers a fully-validated 2D redline and 3D as-built package to the client. Project stakeholders are confident that the final documents reflect real conditions, positioning the client for facility management software decisions as they occupy and begin to operate their building.
BENEFITS The facility management (FM) team is provided accurate, data-rich 3D model and enhanced knowledge that assists them in preparing the facility for operation. This process saves the FM team countless man-hours of data entry and drawing creation.
Value
The BIM Planning Guide for Facility Owners (Version 2.0) identifies seven distinct BIM uses during the operation stage of a building’s life-cycle: data commissioning, performance monitoring, systems control, space tracking, asset management, maintenance management, and scenario forecasting.
