Our Studio-III "Integrated Construction Practices" goal was to select an ongoing project and apply Lean & BIM Integration to the project. The studio concentrates on various aspects of BIM integration and application on the project. First of all, a BIM Execution plan was prepared which is a dynamic document. A desired scope of work was modelled including the details of several disciplines (i.e., Architectural, Structural, MEPF services) and for different LOD. Apart from the models, a site layout was prepared and optimization of the same was done. Once, all the models were prepared, quantity take-off was done. All the individual tasks were monitored on weekly basis, and the required actions were taken accordingly. Software like ACC, VisiLean and Plannerly have been used for efficient planning, scheduling and collaboration. clash detection of the model was done in ACC and Navisworks and clashes were resolved. For the models, quality checks were done and a checklist was prepared. Apart from clash detection, 4D simulation was done in Navisworks, Synchro and VisiLean, and 5D simulation was done in Synchro. Design optimization was done by selecting two problems and applying CBA. Value engineering was a part of it. Also, the Last Planner System was implemented for the design schedule and on-site analysis was done for the same. Finally, towards the studio's end, a comparison between the IPD approach and the traditional approach was done.
