 Building Information Modeling ( BIM )
BIM stands for Building Information Modeling,
which basically describes the process of creating
virtual model that represent building facilities with
the help of computer software.. It contains all of
the key project information from one or more
sources, coordinated and computable & don't
require any manual update to keep them in sync
,,,,,,,, the approach shows that there is the
possibility to integrate different functions and
workflows that traditionally exists in isolation
,,,,,,,, is about information use, re-use, and
exchange, of which electronic documents are just
a single component
,,,,,,,, is about making the right information
available to the right person at the right time

Clients Common Query

05-10-2017 33

I am a homeowner who likes to save money by performing DIY work.

When possible, I prefer to serve as my own general contractor to
reduce the cost of a project.
However, when I talk with professionals about my plans and ask for
advice, they often tell me that I need to consult with a professional
engineer.
I want my home to be safe but hiring an engineer sounds like an
expense I can't afford. How can I tell when it's really necessary to
consult an engineer before performing work on my home?
Why can't I just hire a licensed contractor instead?
Arent you just trying to perpetuate a racket and drive up
Engineering services revenue.

05-10-2017 34
 Is It Really Necessary ?
Should I follow DIY work
or
Should I go for a General Contractor
or
Should I Consult an LBS / Engineer

05-10-2017 35

Here's a simple analogy

if you're planning on modifying the skeleton of your house, then you
ought to consult with a licensed Engineer before committing to any
work.
And if your renovation is altering one of the house's systems, such as
the plumbing, electrical, or heating, then you can most likely rely
upon the contractor performing the work and you do not need to
consult with a licensed Engineer.
So what's the skeleton of a house?
It's the framework of the foundation, walls, floors, and ceilings of the
building. More accurately, it is the structural components that keep
your dwelling standing as well as held together.

05-10-2017 36
 perpetuate a racket and drive up Engineering services revenue.
Please keep in mind that Professional Engineers have an ethical
obligation to uphold individual and societal safety over any
considerations for profit. The reality is that making changes to the
structural elements of your house can result in catastrophic damage to
your house if incorrectly performed. That apparently expensive consult
with a licensed Engineer is nothing compared to the potential expenses
you would be facing to fix an errant and ill advised change to the
structure of your dwelling.

05-10-2017 37

Wow! this is apparently very complicated stuff. What should I do ?

Structural analysis is complicated, and there are a number of factors
involved that have to be considered. Generally speaking, the best thing
you can do is to consult with a licensed Engineer and let them know
what it is you want to try and accomplish. Also let them know what
you're willing to compromise upon, so they can help balance between
project expenses and requirements. Their job is to help you identify the
right balancing point between your dream project and the cold, harsh
reality of physics. As an added bonus, they have likely already helped
many other clients address similar projects. And they will likely be able
to point out additional considerations that you would not have
considered.

05-10-2017 38
Why can't I just hire a licensed contractor instead?
Basically, because a contractor does not have the education and is not
required or expected by law to know what he is doing or telling you
and/or to protect your best interests in doing so. A design professional
(Professional Engineer or Registered Architect) does all of the above.
So when your DIY work collapses or starts to leak, a contractor is not
responsible nor expected by law for the design of the work or for
contract specs and you will not be able to recover your defective DIY
work. He will simply state that his proposal simply listed the work that
you wanted him to do and he has no idea how a house works or what
the design is all about (he doesn't have enough education remember?).
And the contractor wins every time because that's the law.

05-10-2017 39

Why can't I just hire a licensed contractor instead ..

And even if his proposal states that the work shall comply with all
building codes, if the work doesn't pass inspection, a contractor is
allowed to say I didn't know this code and I will have to charge you
extra change order because by law a contractor is not expected to
know the code (he doesn't have enough education remember?).
And even if he gives you a labour and materials guarantee, if its
defective design or a code violation, case law says a contractor is not
expected to know the job is in violation or defective work if its simply
something you asked or directed him to do as the owner and general
contractor on the job.

05-10-2017 40
But if I hire a contractor instead, they are on the hook for doing it right
(and getting an engineer involved if required).

At the point where an engineer is required, you still can't hold the
engineer responsible if you built it wrong. You can hold a contractor
responsible for building it wrong.
There are lots of rules-of-thumb or general guidelines that could be
followed, but there are always exceptions (and ways to convince
yourself that your project is special). The rules-of-thumb are all based
on something.

05-10-2017 41

So NOW ?
Should I follow DIY work
or
Should I go for a General Contractor
or
Should I Consult an LBS / Engineer

05-10-2017 42
 So isnt it a better choice to consult an Licensed Building Surveyor (LBS)
If you are doing a new model or a major remodel it is often good to
go to an engineer or architect, because they do this for a living and
will catch the things you might not think of like toilet spacing or
egress requirements.
Its much cheaper to get those things correct upfront as opposed to
when you go to install things or when your house is inspected before
a sale.
Also, if you are getting a gov. subsidy or a loan for a remodel a bank
will require a drawing of the proposed layout and sometimes require
that drawing to be from an architect or engineer.

05-10-2017 43

Salient Features & Jobs you will be having if you consults an LBS
Site Surveying & Site Planning
Conceptualizing Clients Requirements keeping in sync with Standards
Interior & Exterior Designing & Finishing Visualizing & Designing
Structural Analysis & Designing with appropriate cost effective Materials
MEP/HVAC Services Designing with appropriate cost effective Materials
Quantity Surveying & Value Engineering including Estimating&Budgeting
Project Scheduling , Monitoring & Management (CPM, Virtual Cashflow)
Supervising All Activities and Key Activities including; Layout, Plinth-
work, Lintel, Formwork, Scaffolding, Reinforcement, BBS etc etc
Everything can be experienced Virtually & Share / Consulted in Realtime

05-10-2017 44
Will Hiring LBS Consultation be Cost Effective ?
If we Compare previous Slides we can understand that due to Low
use of Technology across the construction supply chain & if Projects
are not managed properly, then we will find that;
30% of the Projects do not meet original Time and are Cost over runs
Due to which there becomes Dis-Trust among industry stake holders
13% of the Materials used in Construction become Wastes
10% of the Cost of a Project is typically due to Change Orders
And there are inefficiencies in the delivery processes and skill deficits

05-10-2017 45

What will be Benefited if an LBSs Consultation is followed ?

A 33% reduction in both the initial cost of construction and the whole
life cost of the assets.
A 50% reduction in the overall time from inception to completion for
new built and refurbished assets.
A 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the build environment.
The Time-Cost- Quality & Scope Management Triangle can be fully
Optimized in-return which will help in attending mental satisfactions.
All above can be achieved only at the Cost of approximately 2.5 % to 5 %
of the Project Cost excluding Full Supervision & Management Charges &
legal & gov. charges & Fees (which will be as per actual)
