This is also a pilot use of BIM at MIT where the client is engaged in the BIM process alongside the design and
construction teams.
There will be six interlinked BIM files by the design team: an Existing Conditions/Architectural Design Model by
ARCH; Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Communications, and Access Control models by ENG.; and then a
Coordination Model by CONS. The design models will be in Revit Architecture 2010. The Coordination Model will
be in Navisworks.
7. Project Schedule/Phase/Milestones
The BIM Uses Analysis Worksheet will specifically identify important information for the development of
the chosen BIM Uses in an organized way to increase efficiency and collaboration. The worksheet can
be found in Appendix **.
HVAC Model Completed design modeled with spatial CD level END Autodesk®
requirements of and diagrammatic drawings Revit® MEP
locations for equipment, piping,
ductwork, valves etc.
Plumbing Model Completed design modeled with spatial CD level ENG Autodesk®
requirements of and diagrammatic drawings Revit® MEP

Electrical Model Completed design modeled with spatial CD level ENG Autodesk®

equipment, starters, disconnects,
outlets, switches etc. Conduits 4” and
over shall be modeled.
The following is a list of the Information Exchange Worksheets that can be found in Appendix **.
The following are examples. Modify for specific project. Some Information Exchanges may need to be removed,
while some Information Exchanges may need to be added.

The following is a list of items that should be included in the model for Facilities Management use:
The project team will use an FTP site as a tool for communication, document management and transfer.

The project team should consider the physical environment it will need throughout the lifecycle of the project to
accommodate the necessary collaboration, communication, and reviews that will improve the BIM Plan decision
making process. Describe how the project team will be located. Consider questions like “will the team be
collocated?” If so, where is the location and what will be in that space? Will there be a BIM Trailer? If yes, where
will it be located and what will be in the space such as computers, projectors, tables, table configuration? Include
any additional information necessary about workspaces on the project.
The following checks will be performed to assure quality and we will seek to capture the process as we proceed
through the project.

MODELING STANDARDS
Draft to be developed from list below and augmented throughout the modeling process
Modeling should avoid: Modeling Should:
Stacked walls Use the overall coordinate system provided by MIT
Model different construction elements separately
Locking dimensions in the project even if they are adjacent (e.g., sills separate from
windows)
Creating unnecessary parameters in the project Use the shaft opening tool for shafts and elevators
Create views organized by sheet set or use (Working,
Doors as curtain panels
Documentation, Presentation)
Create set of existing plans under the working folder,
Attaching walls to floors and roofs
with dimensions.
Using mass families for anything except overall Use dependent views wherever they break up plans
building massing to fit on a sheet.
Openings in walls and openings as ways of windows
Use Uniformat for worksets
to cut walls (use voids instead)
Follow naming convention for any new families
created
Uniformat for 3d components
CSI for 2d components
The following tables provide lists of objects that are to be excluded from the model(s).
Door hardware
Appliances
Skylights
Handrails
Finishes, wood trim (not consistently), signage, window treatments, acoustic wall panels
NOTE: the items omitted/not connected are for drawing clarity reasons or the systems were drafted in CAD.
The full extent of piping and accessories associated with mechanical equipment.
Pipe anchors.
NOTE: the items omitted/not connected are for drawing clarity reasons or the systems were drafted in CAD.
Horizontal piping and connections in fixture chases, other than main risers and stacks.
Piping in the west wing on the ground floor including the kitchen area
The full extent of piping and accessories associated with the hot water heaters, thermostatic mixing valves and
balancing valves

Final Connections to equipment (Hot Water Heaters, Sewage Ejector, Sump Pumps, Dryers, Stoves, etc.) may
not be made for drawing clarity.
Various shut-off valves, gauges, drain valves, etc. required throughout the building
Conductor sizes have not been included within the model. Unless otherwise noted on plans, please refer to
Electrical schedules for conductor sizing.
Equipment by other trades have not been included in the model. Electrical services for equipment has been
provided.
Main service equipment (i.e. 15kV Switches, Substation, Generator, etc.) have not been included in the model.
Lighting Control System for Servery/Dining Area has not been modeled.
Details, Symbol Legend, General Notes, Riser Diagrams, Schedules have not been modeled.
Details, Symbol Legend, General Notes, Faceplate details, Riser Diagrams have not been modeled.
