More firms are embracing this technology and starting to reap benefits, such as having better collaboration among project team members and avoiding abortive works through early identification of design clashes. Some of the measured outcomes of BIM implementation in projects include a 30% reduction in abortive works and up to 80% reduction in change orders.\u003Cbr>Many leading firms are also pushing the BIM boundary as they move towards integrating Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) in their building processes.\u003Cbr>VDC enables all stakeholders to work collaboratively towards achieving a common goal, requiring everyone to tap on the rich information in BIM to better manage their processes to obtain the desired outcome. To enjoy the full benefits of VDC, we have to make some adjustments to our current work practices, such as involving builders at an early stage.\u003Cbr>Produced under the leadership of the BIM Steering Committee, this guide is a result of significant contributions from local and overseas experts in BIM and VDC, drawn largely from actual implemented projects in the local environment. The outcome – a comprehensive set of VDC implementation guidelines for projects in Singapore. This guide also highlights key activities where VDC is most impactful and beneficial. The areas covered include specifying requirements for design model to contractor for further development and the framework for intensive collaboration period where a project team can resolve conflict speedily.\u003Cbr>With the launch of the Singapore VDC Guide, we hope that more practitioners can acquire the necessary knowledge to implement VDC in their projects. With each challenge resolved, workflows transformed, and objectives met, we will be able to move faster as an industry to change the way we build and achieve our productivity targets.\u003Cbr>Mr. Hugh Lim\u003Cbr>BIM Steering Committee Chairman’s Message\u003Cbr>Dear readers,\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Since 2011, as the industry embarked on our journey to implement the Building Information Modelling (BIM) Road Map, a number of BIM Guides had been introduced progressively for the industry to use. This has been essential for setting up a framework of common practices for the industry.\u003Cbr>BIM for regulatory submissions was made mandatory for projects larger than 5,000 m2 from mid-2015. To date, 17% of all the projects done in Singapore have used BIM at least up to the submission stage, but these projects constitute 92% of the new GFA (gross floor area) that is being built. Many of these projects have continued using BIM in the design and construction stages and have also realised substantial productivity improvements.\u003Cbr>We have been giving out BIM Awards for projects and organisations since 2014 and each year the BIM Awards assessment committee has seen big improvements in BIM capabilities. This is encouraging and demonstrates the rising competencies of BIM personn","cbCail4AKuxOJ1t5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail4AKuxOJ1t5","pdf",37007670,204,"English","# Messages\n## CEO’s Message\n## Chairman’s Message\n# Introduction\n# 1.0 Singapore VDC Framework\n## 1.1 BIM\n## 1.2 Ecosystem\n## 1.3 Process Optimization\n# 2.0 BIM for Tender Documentation\n## 2.1 Tender BIM Products\n## 2.2 Tender Information Content\n## 2.3 BIM Quality\n# 3.0 Intensive Collaboration Period\n## 3.1 Background\n## 3.2 What is ICP/PCP?\n## 3.3 How to carry out ICP/PCP?\n# 4.0 Virtual Construction\n## 4.1 Site Logistics & Utilization\n## 4.2 PBU Installation\n## 4.3 MEP Installation\n## 4.4 Architectural Fit-Out\n# ANNEXES\n## ANNEX A\n## ANNEX B\n## ANNEX C\n# Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the guide attribute to BIM and VDC implementation in projects?\",\"answer\":\"The guide cites measurable outcomes such as a 30% reduction in abortive works and up to an 80% reduction in change orders, supported by early identification of design clashes and improved collaboration.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Intensive Collaboration Period (ICP/PCP) covered in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"ICP/PCP is presented as a collaborative period where a project team can resolve conflicts quickly, supported by specified processes and guidance on how to carry it out.\"},{\"question\":\"Which major areas of Virtual Construction does the guide include?\",\"answer\":\"The guide covers Virtual Construction activities including site logistics \\u0026 utilization, PBU installation, MEP installation, and architectural fit-out, with workflows and best practices for each activity.\"}]","Singapore VDC Guide - Version 1.0 - October 2017 | PDF",514]
