BIM 360 Glue: Setting Up the Correct Coordination Phasing for Your Project
BIM 360 Glue: Setting Up the Correct Coordination Phasing for
Your Project
Champion
and Pursuit Team
Steps Involved:
STEP 1: Begin
reviewing
the default flow chart for Glue, New or Retrofit Project?
STEP 2: Understand the status of the
Design, what is complete what isn’t?
STEP 3: Review the Construction schedule,
where is the Superintendent beginning first?
Is there sufficient time to complete coordination before
construction? You may have to phase out
your coordination to follow the schedule. Some retrofit projects begin on an
upper floor not always level 1.
STEP 4: Typically you begin coordination with
Underground first, Level 1, Level 2, etc. Step 2 and Step 3 may change this scenario.
STEP 5: Based
on the information above, you should be able to understand the major phasing
for coordination.
- Phase
1 – Underground/Basement (as applicable)
- Phase
2 – Level 1
- Phase
3 – Level 2
- Continue
phasing by level as applicable
-
Consider
Shaft Coordination early in the coordination project. Typically in Phase 1 or
Phase 2
STEP 6: Each
phase you should understand in detail how to coordinate. Please review the default
flow chart. As you can see there are 5 Stages to each Phase of coordination.
STEP 7: Furthermore,
if you have a large foot print of a building, you may want to consider dividing
the floors into half’s and or to portions that best fits. Other words Phase 1
may have Phase 1 Area A and Phase 1 Area B. Each Area will have the 5 Stages to
follow.
STEP 8: Also
consider that HVAC likes to begin from the shaft, Plumbing from the Shafts and
Plumbing Risers, Electrical likes to begin from the Electrical Room and IDF Rooms.
Fire Sprinkler likes to begin with Ceiling plan to layout their heads then
branch lines and Mains last.
Why this
step is important:
1. Allows you to effectively begin coordination
with a plan
2. Project subcontractors have a better
understand how they should prepare their detailers.
Do's:
1. Be sure to consult with the Design
Team/Subcontractors on your proposed phasing schedule. Encourage
feedback.
2. Ensure you have incorporated the construction
schedule into your phasing plan
Don'ts:
1. Change
the phasing unless necessary. Stick to the plan
2. Begin
coordination on a phase that is last constructed
