SSUD71-010: Process Evaluation and Change Management in BIM

This subject addresses the importance of using BIM/Lean/IPD to optimise both the processes used to deliver complex projects and the management of the project changes that inevitably occur during major complex projects with multiple stakeholders. The principle of using 3D BIM models and Lean/IPD principles to identify coordination and other design problem areas collaboratively and to rectify them at a time when change has minimum impact on project budgets will be explored in-depth and at a practical as well as conceptual level. The project phases of the buildingSMART Australasia BIM framework will be used to inform the frequency of design and pricing evaluation to ensure change is initiated swiftly when analysis of the BIM model indicates it to be necessary. The subject provides another opportunity for observing and using BIM software platforms in extended practical applications.  The subject is taught in a highly interactive environment dedicated to utilising the BIM technology platforms to identify change opportunities and imperatives. The subject introduces students to using BIM/Lean/IPD principles to ensure project processes ensure minimisation of waste and optimum timeliness of making necessary change.
