DBIA remains on the front lines of industry transformation through collaboration with the release of our latest Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) Primer and Position Statement. These new foundational documents are key additions to the existing suite of Design-Build Done Right® resources offered by DBIA to help educate and elevate our membership and industry on the importance of VDC Done Right. While providing an overview of both documents, we’ll also take a deeper dive into some of the highlights of the primer, including: • Key Terminology Definitions • How the Effective Use of VDC can Improve the Industry • The Value of VDC to Owners, Designers and Contractors • Why Design-Build Is Optimal for the Integration of VDC

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D drawings have become a de facto standard for the design of water and wastewater treatment facilities. These BIM models have proven to be very effective in communicating ideas early in the design process to optimize a facility’s performance and achieve consensus with an owner. However, there are few examples and limited standards for design-build projects, particularly for progressive design-build, on how contractors should best apply BIM during construction, and establish requirements for final BIM delivery to owners, that will provide efficiencies and cost savings for ongoing operations and maintenance. This webinar will discuss the practical applications for BIM through the design-build process, and considerations for contract documents, owner’s requirements, and final submittals that will support long term facility maintenance and asset management systems. The promise of BIM is for information developed during design to aid in building assembly modeling, or BAM, through the construction phase to enable efficient scheduling, contractor coordination, and cost control. Ultimately, if design-build is done right, the owner can leverage BIM and BAM for building operations optimization modeling, or BOOM, to support enterprise asset management that minimizes energy consumption, optimizes maintenance, and guides overall facility operations.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024 Although BIM and Lean complement each other, teams still find themselves fighting traditional contractual battles when you merely mix them together. Welcome to the new AEC superpower: ISO 19650, a global information management standard for BIM. ISO 19650 sets out the workflow for managing information throughout the lifecycle of a project and, more importantly, how it should be incorporated into contracts. We see strong evidence that combining BIM, Lean, and ISO 19650 makes more efficient outcomes possible for all stakeholders. So, if you want to be on the cutting-edge of BIM adoption, hear me discuss practical methods for implementing ISO 19650 as part of a Lean BIM workflow!

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2024 Beginning with the owner's goals and objectives in mind, the virtual design & construction (VDC) planning effort elevates everyone's thinking to a more integrated, strategic level of how to embrace BIM-enabled technologies and workflows to drive value throughout the project lifecycle. Now more than ever, VDC is becoming an integral component of early project planning to help define stakeholder goals and streamlining the design-build delivery process. This panel conversation collects the various stakeholder perspectives on how the BJC Campus Renewal Design-Build Project Team has leveraged a VDC-focused framework to help foster the project's integrated design work planning and alignment of design deliverables to construction needs downstream, along with a deeper conversation of success stories and tales of collaboration about VDC’s impact in the PLAN, DESIGN, CONSTRUCT and OPERATE phases of the project delivery lifecycle.

2021 Design-Build Conference & Expo (content expires December 31, 2023)

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2023 The technical complexity of water projects speaks directly to the value that Building Information Modeling (BIM) and technology brings to project teams. The success of design-build depends on the ability of the project team to effectively communicate and collaborate. BIM strengthens the links in the design-build chain, and new BIM technologies and ideas are being developed daily. This session will help place you on the leading edge of using BIM for optimal project success.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2023 Reality Capture and LOD in Scan-to-BIM, Value in DB Projects over Industry Wide Survey Reality Capture and Scan-To-BIM (S2B) practices improve upon basic field verification practices by enforcing standardization and supporting automation, which facilitate implementation and scalability. While S2B is achievable in practice, there remain several barriers to entry for scaling up teams without the appropriate technology, proper teaming arrangements, and availability of technically well-informed resources. This presentation will provide practical examples of S2B and the lessons learned. Takeaways include how the BIMForum Level Of Development (LOD) and Realty Capture Level Of Acceptance (LOA) Specifications can be used to allow clear team communication on these topics from concept thru construction. Session Learning Objectives: 1. The presentation will seek to clarify key differences between traditional modeling on design build projects and integrated Scan-To-BIM practices. The distinctive advantage that DB teams have in this will be highlighted in the presentation. 2. The presentation will also highlight advancements made by the BIMForum Level of Development (LOD) and Reality Capture Taskforce to produce a guide for Scan-To-BIM workflows that support non-proprietary, industry accepted standards. 3. The presentation will demonstrate how to apply a key new concept in Scan-To-BIM of Level Of Acceptance that incorporates both scan density and tolerances.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2023 Subsurface infrastructure projects involve risk of unknown, underground hazards that create disruptive, budget-draining delays. Upgrading utilities on the 200-year-old Saint Louis University campus, in the heart of the city, carried high risk for striking existing utilities and undocumented structures, including buried train tracks, brick roads and foundations. Yet, there were zero utility strikes and no redesigns required, thanks to an integrated, design-build subsurface construction approach utilizing Subsurface Utility Mapping (SUM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC).. The panelists will vividly discuss the critical difference achieved by applying SUM and VDC within a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team. Session Learning Objectives: 1. Identify opportunities for project cost savings and risk mitigation using Subsurface Utility Mapping (SUM) within an integrated Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) approach, an emerging best practice for subsurface construction. 2. Contrast the costs and risks of a traditional procurement with the benefits of using a collaborative VDC process for subsurface construction to leverage Model-Based Field Layout at the point of attack. 3. Demonstrate the risk-reduction value of an integrated, real-time, “single source of truth” for mapping and utility data throughout the project life cycle to maintain accuracy and accessibility for all project team members. 4. Highlight the importance of early project VDC planning conversations to define how the team will collaborate and communicate to effectively execute with efficiency and profitability.

CONTENT EXPIRES: December 31, 2023 The Nashville International Airport is undertaking a major expansion utilizing Progressive Design-Build. PDB results in an evolving scope and associated budget, schedule, and subcontracting partners as the project develops. The evolving design solutions can lead to challenges in communicating and coordinating scope changes, especially on a complex program. The team effectively used VDC technologies to manage the process to enhance team collaboration, coordination of specialty contractors, and cost and schedule control. This panel will discuss why Owners should consider including VDC expertise as a high-value criteria in team selection and have mandatory VDC technology capabilities specified in their RFP's, especially for complex projects. Session Learning Objectives: 1. Utilizing VDC improves collaboration, design development decisions, and executive buy-in on the Nashville International Airport Progressive DB Project 2. VDC improves communication between owner, designers, builders, and specialty trade partners 3. Improved communication leads to faster construction with less rework and public inconvenience 4. Owners of large, complex capital projects should consider mandatory VDC specifications in their RFP
