Description
BIM (Building Information Modeling) and virtual design and construction (VDC) managers serve pivotal roles in empowering stakeholders across multiple disciplines and teams to fully maximize the BIM data stored in the model. Design models often lack construction data needed for downstream use, but adding customized information to a conditioned and structured model can result in a model that can be utilized from design to construction to handover. Currently, siloed solutions force teams to maintain multiple sources of truth for project documents at different project phases, resulting in heightened confusion. In this session, we will cover how project teams can incorporate integrated workflows with Assemble software, and get the full benefit of a common data environment (CDE) used by other Autodesk construction solutions, facilitating collaboration between project members to avoid duplication and mistakes.
Key Learnings
- Discover the benefits of using a common data environment for project files
- Get a refresher on using user-defined properties in the model without the need of Revit
- Discover the latest enhancements to Assemble
- Learn about Assemble's contribution to Construction Cloud common data environment (Autodesk Docs, and so on)
Speakers
- Nathaniel CoombsNate grew up in a small Vermont town and went on to attend the University of Vermont, graduating gaining his BS in Civil Engineering with a focus in structures. Nate began his career with a BIM start up called Assemble Systems leading their team of application engineers. Upon being aquired by Autodesk, he has since transitioned to his current role of Sr Business Consultant, where he supports AEC industry leaders with their business transformations and technology portfolio. Nate’s speaking experience is far and wide having spoken at 20+ events across 3 continents, and he is often published in Autodesk’s digital builder blog including a feature in their Masterclass series. Along the way he has picked up a passion for sustainability, highlighted by his LEEP AP credential, and a knack for data & analytics and has become a trusted advisor to many of the industries largest firms. Currently Nate is based in Southern New Hampshire, and outside of work enjoys photography, golf, sports, and gardening.
- TZTomislav ZigoOver the past two decades Tomislav has been an advocate of digital technology implementation as a researcher, designer and over past six years as a designer - builder. His experience includes work in the vanguard of BIM methodology implementation on large healthcare, institutional and industrial projects; research work in the field of Building Performance Analysis; optimization and use of mobile and immersive technology and mentorship positions in a number of local and national architectural firms during their transition toward BIM adoption. Currently he leads Clayco's VDC department and teaches at Washington University in St. Louis.
- LIANG GONGLiang works as a VDC Senior Data Manager at Clayco. Liang works directly with the company’s preconstruction/estimating department and VDC to develop accurate detailed project takeoffs and utilizes various programs to assist with other aspects of our business as needed including project management, BIM development and coordination, 3 dimensional detail production, 4D/5D development and earned value analysis protocols. Liang develops data analysis standards, works closely with project teams in solving problems through the use of digital production tools, and bridges the gap between the data captured in the field and project aspirations. Liang owns the data aggregation process and works as managing liaison between software manufacturers and internal development team. Liang got his Master of Engineering Management degree from Duke University and Bachelor in Civil Engineering degree from Tianjin University, China. Liang completed the certificate program in Data Science and Visualization from Northwestern University.
- MRMatt RobertsMatt is the Data Manager (VDC) at Gray Construction. He has played a key role in developing several model data-leveraged workflows that aim to enhance the efficiency of our site and project teams throughout the lifecycle of our projects. Through these workflows, we are reducing data silos to better inform the project stakeholders and customers on progress for key scopes of work for each job. Matt has more recently been involved in curating and reporting (both model based, and non-model based) data for our preconstruction and commissioning teams. Matt is passionate about data, researching new construction technologies, and their potential uses to aid our teams to be successful throughout project execution.
