Planless 2025

Vision Statement:By 2025 construction projects will have the ability to be bid using 3D technology and no longer be in a traditional construction plan format. Projects such as guide rail, RPM’s, crack sealing and bridge preservation, etc. will be exempt.

All Project elements including what would typically be shown on “also plans” will be contained within the CADD model. The 3D model will be the primary document of truth. As-builts will be a deliverable for the contractor and will be an accurate representation of the constructed project.

Planless 2025

• Time to Embrace a new way of doing things– Change the mind set of “…but that’s how we’ve always

done it…”• Stop taking “Smart” Data and breaking it into

less meaningful pieces• Rethink how we approach – the outcomes are

limitless

24

Planless 2025

Digital Delivery• Early identification of constructability

issues• Enhanced design coordination and

Quality Control reviews• Improved design accuracy• Reduced construction change orders

3D Signed and Sealed Deliverables• Shift emphasis – 2D plans to 3D

models / BIM• Leverage 3D model thru design and

construction• Reduce contractor risk
