This document discusses the benefits of using BIM (Building Information Modeling) on small projects. It outlines that BIM can help draw faster with families and keynotes, provide automatic coordination through elevation to plan coordination and drawing set creation. BIM also enables better coordination for projects with complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems through 3D modeling. Case studies demonstrate that even on tiny projects, BIM allowed drawing lines faster and using detail components. Larger projects saw benefits of automatic calculations, 3D coordination to prevent errors, and laser scanning for complex renovations. A study of three medical procedure rooms found that increasing BIM use reduced construction costs by up to 15%, change order costs by over 90%, and construction time by
3. OBJECTIVES
1. Understand how to implement BIM at
the appropriate scale for projects
2. Evaluate the tools available for a
successful small project in BIM
3. Leverage BIM data to coordinate with
the design and construction team
4. Understand the cost saving potential
for small projects
4. WHY?
● Draw Faster!
Drawing 1 line is faster than drawing two
Detail drafting faster with families and keynotes
Don’t commit to full 3D BIM - blend BIM & CAD
● Auto-Pilot!
Elevation to plan coordination
Automatic drawing set creation
Automatic egress and other calcs
Free 3D = better communication
● Be Coordinated!
For projects with complex overhead - 3D coordination
For extreme projects - 3D laser scanning

43. The delay was caused…by the
over-head structural and M/E/P/FP
not being coordinated. The
majority of the overhead had to be
re-designed.

48. CONCLUSION
1. The extent of BIM tools used can vary
by the needs of the project
2. Lots of benefits to using BIM
● Draw Faster!
● Auto-Pilot!
● Be Coordinated!
3. Model objects down to 1½” for clash
detection laser scanning
4. Reduce cost, change order
rate, schedule, and save owners
