The Challenges
In this project, Sun Hung Kai Faces the same problems as other projects in terms of workflow: Design information is shared in an inefficient way; and uncertainty regarding how to make BIM a good platform for sharing information among the project team.
The Solutions
The project team opted to build a bridge for communication between BIM and designers, engineers and contractors. The BIM models would be shared to multi-disciplinary project stakeholders, and better communication would be employed to connect with them.
The designers, engineers and contractors used the models to review their designs, find conflicts and extract useful data. The BIM models also could be improved, or their quality could be validated, by the stakeholders.
The Benefits
We promote BIM by utilising the model with Autodesk simulation software to run the same simulations in the project; the process is more interactive and the result is more user-friendly and trivial for the project team.
