There is a common perception in the design and construction industry that use of BIM technology, while having many benefits, may lead to greater uncertainty and liability. Those who are proponents of the innovative tool often do not themselves use project agreements which reflect the use of BIM, model management, sharing and storage of data or cybersecurity risks. This presentation will focus on the legal aspects of BIM. It will include a review of good contracting practices from around the world, risk management strategies and BIM related litigation, and will leave attendees with a better understanding of these legal issues.

The College Avenue Campus is a designated Heritage Property comprised of two buildings: Darke Hall and the College Building. Located on College Avenue in Regina, it is the site of the original Methodist College since re-purposed and incorporated into the University of Regina. This presentation will provide an overview of the renovation and rehabilitation project in terms of how BIM was utilized to document existing conditions, identify and solve design problems, develop construction documents, execute contract administration, address challenges encountered during construction, and lessons learned. The session will also address how the design team?s office processes and methodologies using BIM technologies bridged the gap between a fully integrated BIM project and the traditional paper method ? creating a collaborative hybrid approach to the project.

Are you looking to sharpen your understanding of what BIM is, or review how BIM can benefit your company? This workshop aims to provide a better understanding of the basics of BIM, then will move into practical concepts and workflows that have been proven effective globally. Some key issues this workshop will cover are: Are you really doing BIM? • Levels of BIM - What are you trying to accomplish? • Impacts to workflow, culture, and technology itself. • BIM - what is it good for? (Visualization, Virtualization, Project Management) BIM Fundamentals: • What is BIM and why? • Benefits and Challenges of BIM • Terminology - Strategy Stage, Project Planning, Operational Phase • BIM Acronyms BIM Roles and Responsibilities: • Overview of Roles • Client Driven Roles • Supplier Roles • Role of Information Management

This presentation will tell the BIM story of a variety of interesting projects of different sizes and scopes, and we will review the BIM process we developed and executed through them. Each project tells it's own story of successes and hardships, and we will focus on some of the issues we have come across during these projects. We will review our solution and discuss the successes and partial successes of our choices. We will review projects of many different contract models including Design - Bid - Build, Design Build, P3, and ILPD. All successful projects require a degree of flexibility and revision in the BIM Execution planning, but this is often overseen, and the Execution Plan is often seen as 'set in stone', and this practice needs to change. In review of the projects we will review how our plans required quick and effective change when owner requirements or project needs demanded change.

Employing BIM and 3D modeling techniques in bridge design can be very helpful in understanding and addressing geometric challenges that are unique to transportation structures. By leveraging intelligent modeling tools, the BIM/3D model can become a data rich model that aids in the detailed design process and construction documentation production. This presentation will review examples of using data and modeling techniques for going beyond 3D geometry when modeling bridges and other transportation structures. Learning Objectives - Techniques for defining challenging 3D geometry in transportation structures - Identify challenges with BIM model data associated with 3D geometry modeling techniques - Using multiple software applications in transportation structure design (Civil 3D, Infraworks, Inventor and Revit) - Incorporating reality capture techniques during conceptual and detailed design - Using, scheduling and querying BIM model data

For the last 100 years, Victaulic has been, and continues to be, an innovator and leader in the construction industry. As a lean manufacturer, Victaulic is implementing its lean processes into job-site construction. Learn how Victaulic takes IFC documents and creates a fabricatible model that starts with full Revit Integration creating fab maps, isometric spool drawings and coordinates deliverables to the job-site. Through this process we are able to coordinate material logistics and ensure project schedule certainty. We will walk you through the tools that are used, methods, and processes that have worked to provide full coordination and Just-In-Time delivery.

IBI Group would like to present a solution that connects a BIM to an Asset Management System as well as to our construction review process. One case study is focused on our office expansion where the assets within the design model were cataloged and connected to a custom-built asset management system. The workflow harnesses OpenBIM technology, allowing the end user to experience a virtual representation of the asset via mobile devices as well as a medium to socially interact with them. This data contains fused design information with records for maintenance, along with social information identifying repair / replacements which can feed subsequent projects. Outline: 1) The value proposition of "data" 2) Fusing BIM with Asset Management 3) Connecting "social data" to the assets 4) Demonstration of an active instance of the system

This presentation is a high level overview of the history, current status, and future of BIM. We will be exploring what BIM can offer today, the challenges the industry is facing, and possible solutions to these challenges. The presentation will include examples of what can be achieved with BIM today and how to get the most value out of BIM models. We will wrap up by mentioning emerging technologies in the industry and possible future trends. Learning Objectives: -Learn the history of how BIM was invented, implemented and got to its current point -Current available trends in design/construction technology -Current challenges faced by the industry in technology implementation -Emerging and future trends; roadmap of BIM

The Saskatchewan Satellite Session will offer educational and informative Technology Sessions, that will dive deeper into new technologies and processes that will assist architects, engineers, contractors, consultants and owners in their day to day activities and processes. All practitioners looking to develop their knowledge around how the technology works, “tips and tricks” and new methodologies should attend these Technology Sessions. From legal perspectives on BIM to learning about digitizing vertical (buildings) and horizontal (civil) infrastructure projects, to learning about digital collaboration strategies, and going beyond 3D modeling/Building Information based Models; this session will offer a wide range of topics for professionals at all stages of the learning curve. We look forward to seeing you all in Regina!
