Horizontal/Subsurface Infrastructure & Transportation

Dear fellow members

I am writing to you in request of your participation in my thesis survey. I am a master student in civil engineering currently in my final. The topic is entitled Effects of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) on procurement management. The aim of this survey is to reach out to Civil engineers, Directors, Architecture, contractors, consultants etc on how BIM can help procurement management. With your responses to this survey this will help me with the above mentioned topic and be able to complete my studies. This survey is very brief and will only take about 10 minutes to complete. I am kindly asking you to share with the staff in your company. Please click the link below to go to the survey Website (or copy and paste the link into your Internet browser) to begin the survey.

Dear Douglas,

How the Cost savings effects will be occurred, when your over look the benifits. Abstract:
Design in construction has historically been conveyed by conventional 2D methods through
the use of physical paper-based documentation either by hand by the architect and then
engineer and other specialist designers, or later through the advent of computer aided design
(CAD) technology prevalent in the 1990's. This 2D documentation, the result of both hand
and CAD systems, has inherently been issued late due to the time to produce and
uncoordinated due to the lack of integration with other design disciplines, and all this often in
a very adversarial, contractual environment, often not taking into consideration the budget
constraints and buildability issues and due to its 2D nature often does not address some of the
3D challenges posed by the project. There is also a very inefficient transfer of critical data
during this process, particularly at the closure of a project at the development of the operation
and maintenance manual and as built drawing.

Also attached the 2D to 6D integration of BIM also attached for your kind reference.

Sincerely,

In reading through the survey, I'm guessing that your BIM software is for material procurement, not project procurement.
