The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
BIM is a shared source of information about a facility
forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-
cycle (Eastman et al, 2012).
Collaboration
‘the action of working with someone to produce
something’ (OD, 2012)
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
‘The imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium’ (OD, 2012)
Communication
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
Communication – Trust - Rapport
trust is a crucial component for virtual communication but it can be
difficult to achieve without face-to-face meeting (Laurito,2010)
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:

Traditional fractured/adversarial relationships
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:

But it was in the model!!!!!!
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
What effective methods of virtual communication will aid collaboration
throughout the design process?
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
• What is the current virtual relationship
between the project team?
• How the team collaborate/
communicate?
• What are the challenges to virtual
communication between the BIM
design team players?
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
Can a collaborative virtual environment with avatars replicate a
physical face-to-face meeting?

Select Team
•Mix of Digital Natives & Immigrants
•Natives provide the skills to adopt and support immigrants using the CVE
• Immigrants provide the project experience
Trust Building
•Meeting face-to-face initially
BIM Tools Selection Criteria
•BIM Criteria - Federated model for review
Virtual Communication Roadmap for Multi-Office Execution (MOE)
The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:
Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process
CVE Solution Selection Criteria
•Software Comparison
•Cloud Security for commercially sensitive project data
•Environment for screen sharing to review Federated BIM or other project documents
•Avatars with audio/ gestures to replicate face-to-face meeting
Protocols
•Multi-Office Execution strategy and standards
•Meeting etiquette - raise a hand to speak/ mute audio when not speaking etc
•Collaboration - LOD of models/ milestones/ meeting schedule
•Customisation - avatar appearance
Training
•Appropriate level of Training for digital natives and immigrants
Environment
•appropriate meeting environment in CVE
