MONASH UNIVERSITY NEW HORIZONS (MUNH)PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Monash University Clayton Campus
Collaborative research facility between Monash University and CSIRO. In particular it is the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and CSIRO.
Research on materials engineering including computational and physical modelling and simulation of manufactured products and technology for the bio-medical, aerospace and renewable energy industries.
Reinforces the importance of the Clayton Innovation Precinct as the most significant technology innovation hub in the southern hemisphere.
6-star Green Star Design rating under Education v1 rating tool achieved
6-star Green Star As-Built rating under Education v1 rating tool in progress

BIM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED BYPROJECT STAKEHOLDERS
BIM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTEDBY CLIENT & DESIGN TEAM
CLIENT
Not contractual requirement Encouraged by the Client
DESIGN TEAM
Design and documentation in Revit Well structured and detailed models Level of coordination (LOD200) Not all services were modelled Specifications and schedules
exported from Revit

BIM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTEDBY SUB-CONTRACTORS
SUB-CONTRACTORS
o Building Services and Structure trades took part in BIM process
o Combination of software packages used
o Consultants models utilised to move objects and coordinate services
o Mechanical Subcontractor (Allstaff) acted as lead trade
o Opportunity of the process established by Client and Design Team
19/08/2013
13
BIM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTEDBY PROBUILD
PROBUILD
o Shared role as BIM Manager (Navisworks)
o Established a BIM Implementation Plan to define:
Rules of engagement
Level of detail to be provided
Technology required
File format to be used
Segments to work on
Set targets and monitor progress
o Chair weekly coordination workshops
o Educated site staff how to use technology on site

BIM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTEDBY PROBUILD
Key uses for BIM process:
1. Visualisation of the building2. Clash detection3. Estimating4. Interrogation of documents5. RFI process and queries6. Design change management7. Setting out on site8. As-Built (untagged) model

THE BENEFITS OF BIM -OUR UNDERSTANDING
• BIM is a ‘Process’ not defined by a single word
• Much broader concept of BIM
• Exploring design and construction options
• Explore construction methods & sequencing options
THE BENEFITS OF BIM -OUR UNDERSTANDING
• Programming monitoring
• Improved understanding of deliverables:
Construction detailing
Fire rating
Acoustic rating
• Just a tool – should not rely on it for everything

CONTRACTOR & SUBBIES
• Exchange of information – earlier is always better
• Steel and Façade Shop Detailer Employed by Probuild as a sub-contractor
Engaged and involved earlier
• Earlier input by Managing Contractor and sub-contractors
• Client to have an understanding of what BIM is and be involved earlier
• All elements to be modelled
• More detail in models is always better
• Consider Mechanical sub-contractor to model the electrical services for the projects
Lessons Learnt

CONSULTANTS
> Doubling up of models:
- Architect built their own structure model
- Model by Structural Engineer not used
> Insufficient time given to sub-consultants to update models
> Façade and structural steel model issued to Architect to review for information. Proposal rejected in lieu of reviewing 4000+ shop drawings
> No need to model item to huge level of detail
- A box with size, name parameters is OK
- If lucky a tag to a PDF file of Tech Data sheet would be ‘like super awesome’
FEEDBACK FROM SUB-CONTRACTORS
‘For a research facility such as MUNH, without BIM we would have struggled’.
‘The BIM process is recommended for all complex projects such as research and residential’
‘Hypothetically…if the project was delivered under traditional 2D process there may have been for example 100 issues to resolve. With BIM it has reduced this number to 25’.
Summary of the number of RFIs:
- Mechanical = 239 total- Electrical = 107 total- Hydraulics = 104 total- Wet Fire = 15 total- Dry Fire = 41 total

CLOSING COMMENTS
KEY ASPECTS TO REMEMBER:
Sharing Knowledge and Experiences – to maintain momentum of the BIM movement
Keep an open mind and be flexible when embarking on the BIM journey
Be bold and be brave and always look at the glass as half full
Embrace the spirit of Collaboration –use MUNH as an example
Thank you for your time
