Rationale

The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:

Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process

• Global Economy

-Faster

-Competitive Cost

•Multi-office Execution

•Virtual Teams

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

Statement of the Problem

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:

Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process

Traditional fractured/adversarial relationships

But it was in the model!!!!!!

Research Question

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?

Project – Case Study

The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:

Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process

• 18,5000sq.m Waste to Energy

Facility-Dublin, Ireland

• BIM Processes

• Virtual Teams located in Dublin/

Wroclaw and Zurich

• Use virtual communication tools

Conclusion

The Virtual Interactive Relationship between BIM Project Teams:

Effective Communication to aid Collaboration in the Design Process

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
