Lean Design, Lean Construction

and IFC/BIM in Norwegian AEC Industry

"Come see how BIM and Lean have been integrated into a 10 year, 2 Billion USD Healthcare project in Norway from design through facility management."

Abstract:              

The St. Olav Hospital project has developed its VDC process based on Lean Construction methods and Building Information Modeling (BIM). The project ambition is to model everything for use in design, construction and facility management.  The project will be finished in 2013 and will used to leverage the Norwegian AEC Industry. Lean Construction methods have been applied in the project since 2006, and for the last building, BIM is implemented in all phases, from programming/design to facility management. Three topics will be presented:

1.     Use of a common IFC model server in design and construction.  The project, as a part of the lean planning effort, has decided that all decisions shall be based on information in an IFC model, based on the owner specified BIM manual. An important result is the capability to check that construction details meet design and program requirements before released for construction. The model is also a tool to assist in breakdown resolution.

2.     How Lean Construction methods are used in the construction phase. The use of Last Planner is extended by Porsche’s TAKT Principle supported by BIM.

3.     How the IFC model is enriched by life cycle/facility management information. The hospital owner has worked closely with other hospitals and Statsbygg (the Norwegian equivalent to GSA) in order to apply IFC/BIM in the whole lifecycle of a building. A status of this work will be presented.

The hospital owner (Helsebygg) and General Contractor (Veidekke) are founding members of Lean Construction Norway and active members of buildingSMART Norway. Veidekke through its Swedish subsidiary is a member of CIFE at Stanford University.

Date and Time:                  Wednesday, August 31, 2011 from 6-9pm
