• Project use of 4D and 5D simulations
• BIM workflows (advantages) and stakeholders
communication.

• QU New College of Engineering Project
overview
 Built up area = 76,000 M2
 Stories = Basement , Ground, First and Second floor
3Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
 Design Spaces : Class rooms, Laboratories,, Offices, Atrium,
Auditorium, Lecture halls, Cafeteria & kitchen, Learning
resource center, Workshop, Basement & surface car park
 Budget = 507,000,000
 Construction Duration = 30 months
 QSAS (Sustainable rating) – 4 Star rating
Basement Project
Snapshots – Structure /
Architecture Model
4Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
• Need for BIM and its policies & standardization
5Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
 Viewing physical and functional characteristic digitally before
it is built. VIRTUAL = PHYSICAL
 To deliver projects faster, more economical and reduce
environmental impact.
 IPD and better design decisions
 Increase accuracy of construction documentation
 Predict performance – Time and Cost
 Improve quality
 Multi-disciplinary capability that serves architecture, structural
engineering, and MEP.
 Ability to support distributed work processes, with multiple
team members working on the same project.
 Ability to work on large projects.
Construction needs
6Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
 BIM should be taught as a subject to the students
 Industry professionals indicated that they are either using or
considering to use BIM in their companies. This trend
indicates that the BIM utilization in the construction industry is
going to increase.
 Employing candidates with BIM skills to have an advantage
over candidates who lack BIM knowledge
 A study pointed out that properly structured BIM courses
would provide industry-required knowledge to prepare
students for successful careers in the AEC industry. Instead
of teaching a separate course, its suggested to reconfigure
the existing construction courses to integrate BIM into the
course contents.
Academia / Educational Needs
7Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
Standardization
 CSI Format – UniFormat / MasterFormat
 LOD
 4D – Time schedule : Line & Balance ( Flow line method) /
CPM scheduling approach (Gant Chart)
 Industry foundation classes (IFC) compatibility
 Software to be used in BIM environment
Policies
 With the latest development of BIM standards, QU has adopted the
AEC UK BIM Standards Version 2013 – released on August 22nd
2013.
 QU is focused on developing a Parametric 3D Model with defined
Level of Development to Achieve Coordinated and useable BIM
model for Site information, Operation and maintenance use
8Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
 QU will develop with its construction key stakeholders a
• LOD 300 Model for coordination.
• LOD 350/400 for Shop drawings Generation and insure the
use of BIM extracted data by its Sub-Contractors
• LOD 500 Model for As-Built
• LOD 500 Accurate Geometry Reflected on Model
• LOD 500 O&M Data linked with FM Solution.
9Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
• Project use of 4D and 5D simulations
 A combined model derived from the 3D BIM Model Data to
level of development 350/400 will be published to the
selected 4D/5D System.
 It has been incorporated that the 3D/4D/5D system will be
published with vendor developed plugins to ensure integrity of
data and interoperability.

Basement area.
16Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
Stakeholders communication
Improve communication using BIM with QU key stakeholders:
 QCDD
 KAHRAMAA
 Ooredoo
 Drainage department
 Road and infrastructure department
 Urban Planning Department
 Private Engineering Office
 Municipality
 QSAS / GSAS
 Designers
 Contractors
 Venders
17Eng. Syed S. Mubeen
• QU future strategies related to BIM
implementation & FM (6D)
 Standardize the use of BIM on all QU Projects – All Scale
 Develop a BIM team to manage data received from
Contractors.
 Introduce the knowledge and knowhow from current projects
into students curriculum.
 Ensure data integrity and standardization from all 3D/4D/5D
systems to flawlessly integrate with 6D Facilities
Management application adopted for O&M of QU facilities.
BIM will be derived for the use of Facilities management, space
management and preventive maintenance management.
