Full textVirtual Design and Construction is a work process in which NCC are in the front seat. It's a position they would like to strengthen with their company strategy for the coming years. Working enviroment is also a matter of high priority within the strategy. By combining these two matters it will then hopefully be possible to use VDC integrated with the working environment in part to the reduction of accidents at the construction sites. The purpose of this project has been to examine the ways in which it is possible to work with VDC and safety issues. By using software that can implement VDC a 4D simulation was made possible. The process to set up the simulation was analyzed, which led to the results that could put answers to the purpose. The result of the work shows that there are a number of ways where it is possible to use the VDC combined with working enviroment. In which planning and visualization are some of the key results. By simulating the construction of a building it is possible to detect risk factors that could emerge during the process of construction and by that obtain a better planning tool.

Full textThe construction sector has struggled with some problems such as low productivity, lack of quality and high construction costs. Recently, companies have started investing in new ways of working, that with the help of the technology and make it possible to reduce these problems. One way to reduce these problems is through VDC, Virtual Design and Construction. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether VDC support production in a positive way and what type of blocks you can bump into using VDC. Literature studies and interview studies will be conducted with experts in order to answer the purpose of this study. This report is limited to production. In order for the information not to be incorrect, we have chosen to do literature studies on books, articles, reports and company pages. VDC is a working method where all the parties work continuosly with each other during the process. VDC in production improves communication, workplace, end product and more. Obstacles that may occur in production are that the older generation is not ready for such advanced technology. With a shorter education and encouragement, all workers should be able to handle a 3D model. Studies show that VDC impregnation in production would produce positive results. The skilled workers would be more involved and gain a greater understanding of the project, which among other things provides an improved end product.

Full textI takt med att byggnader blir mer komplexa och samhället ständigt utvecklas får byggbranschen allt fler specialinriktade aktörer, vilket ytterligare ökar behovet av fungerande samspel mellan aktörerna. Kommunikationen behöver stå i fokus och ett branschöverskridande samarbete måste tas i bruk. Nya arbetssätt som främjar samverkan bör tas fram för att effektivisera byggprocessen mera. Där spelar kommunen en viktig och central roll för att driva på samhällsutvecklingen. Målet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur ett VDC-inspirerat arbetssätt kan utveckla kommunens process i stadsbyggnadsprocessen för att effektivisera planprocessens tidiga skeden fram till projektering. För att uppnå målet har intervjuer med tjänstemän från NCC och kommunerna Norrköping, Linköping och Örebro genomförts. Det empiriska data som insamlats har sedan analyserats tillsammans med examensarbetets teoretiska ramverk. Resultatet visar på att kommunerna i dagsläget inte arbetar med BIM i samma omfattning som NCC. Kommunerna har inte samma behov av informationshantering och samordning av digitala modeller. Kommunernas 3D-modeller består oftast av 3Dvolymer, där volymförhållanden och samband är den viktigaste informationen som förmedlas. Däremot konstateras att kommunens arbetssätt i projektgrupper går att utveckla och göras mer effektiv. Idag arbetar kommunerna redan i team där de drar nytta av den kollektiva kompetensen. Att implementera projektstudio som ett VDCinspirerat arbetssätt kan i förlängningen skapa ett tätare samarbete och bidra till att minska kommunikationsproblem internt. För att kommunen ska kunna arbeta VDC-inspirerat bör först en kartläggning av vilken typ av information i en BIM-modell som kommunen anser relevant och intressant för dem. Vidare krävs också en hög teknisk kompetens bland tjänstemännen för att möjliggöra en implementering av VDC. Examensarbetet har undersökt en VDC tillämpning i tidiga skeden fram till projektering. Vidare har arbetet avgränsats sig till kommunens stadsbyggnadskontor. Datainsamlingen har endast skett genom besöksintervjuer.

Full textI dagsläget används Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) mer och mer inom byggprojektering såväl som inom byggproduktion som ett effektiviserande arbetssätt för att förbättra kommunikation och minska byggnadsfel. VDC är under ständig utveckling, men vad kommer efter denna? Förstärkt verklighet (AR, eng. Augmented Reality) används i dagsläget inte i byggproduktion i Sverige men ses som nästa steg i ledet av integrering av verklighet och digital information. Med hjälp av denna teknik kan projektering bli verklighet innan det är byggt. Syftet med denna studie har varit att inventera existerande AR-teknik, dess brister samt att kartlägga möjliga användningsområden inom byggproduktion. VDC har även undersökts för att identifiera denna tekniks svagheter och en bedömning av hur dessa kan avhjälpas och VDC förbättras har gjorts. Utifrån detta har arbetet utförts utifrån följande huvudfrågeställning; Hur kan AR-teknik implementeras i byggbranschen och hur kan den integreras med VDC för att uppnå en effektivisering i byggproduktionen? Teoribakgrunden bygger på en litteraturstudie där information om AR-teknik från tekniska rapporter inhämtats. En studie av tekniken bakom Augmented Reality och dess möjliga tillämpningsområden inom byggproduktion har gjorts, samtidigt som framtida möjligheter och pågående forskning har beskrivits. VDC har endast undersökts flyktigt i litteraturstudien. Intervjuer har genomförts med produktionspersonal och sakkunniga inom VDC och AR för att erhålla underlag för en nulägesanalys. Utifrån intervjuerna har nytta och brister med VDC-tekniken kunnat utrönas, samtidigt som önskemål på AR-teknikens framtida tillämpning har kunnat kartläggas. Resultatet av litteraturstudien är att en positioneringsteknik som är noggrannare och mer robust än de som finns idag måste utvecklas för att AR-tekniken ska fungera i syftet. Det finns ett flertal fördelaktiga tillämpningsområden för AR i byggproduktion förutsatt att ovanstående problem övervinns. VDC i produktion innebär stora fördelar i form av ekonomiska och tidsmässiga besparingar. Det främjar kommunikationen mellan projektering och produktion. AR kommer att vara lättare att använda i marknadsföringssyfte och i tidiga skeden än i produktion. Vad gäller VDC behöver mer fokus läggas på att implementera tekniken till den stora massan istället för att utveckla tekniken ytterligare i en liten expertgrupp. För att AR-tekniken ska kunna implementeras i byggbranschen bör VDC-tekniken och dess stöd först utvecklas fullt ut mot produktion innan ytterligare en teknik introduceras då denna inte kommer att åtgärda de brister med VDC som finns idag.

Full textIs BIM- (Building Information Modeling) used in the most efficient and practical way in the infrastructure industry today? The difficulty in implementing BIM as a method throughout the process and organization in an industry that always relied on its traditions is one of the main subjects of the Swedish Transport Administration. Therefore they have elaborated a long-term plan with a primer objective that in the year 2015 have established a requirement that there future project shall require a certain involvement of BIM. What if there was a measurement tool that could evaluate all the aspects of a project using BIM as a tool and then compare it to other projects in purpose to value where in the organization, technology and process things could have been better. Wouldn’t the process and all aspects of it evolve a lot faster if conclusions could be drawn of the up- and downsides on earlier projects and experiences could be gained from other practices? In USA such a tool has been developed and named the VDC- (Virtual Design and Construction) Scorecard which was created by researchers working for CIFE (Center for Integrated Engineering) in Stanford University. With grander influence as a helping tool for that industry it´s in the authors interests to create a similar tool, but different in the way that it would be adapted to a particular part of the process; the projecting. This could later on be in great use for the consultant company to who the authors are collaborating with. The objective must be to create a measurement tool that in a neutral manner can value both the project in general and the importance of each aspect. By study how the VDC Scorecard was built and immerse into the general projecting process of infrastructure projects a fundament for this measurement tool will be built.

Full textThis report aims to answer the question: "Can an increased level of detail in the Building Information Model by virtually constructed framing for drywalls save resources?" The report concerns a BIM laboration conducted in collaboration with NCC in the project Signalfabriken in Sundbyberg. Lindab Revit Tools (LRT) was used to virtually construct framing for drywalls that was added to the building information model of the project. The virtual material was subject to clash detection analysis and then used to generate A3-sheets for use in the production line. The result of this test and the quality of the sheet was discussed by representatives from different parts of the construction process. A revised sheet was formed from this discussion and then approved by NCC. The process was repeated to find the most efficient process and the experiences from this led to these answers for the original question: Yes, when only complex areas are modeledYes, if all areas are modeled and LRT is improvedNo, if LRT is used to virtually construct all dry walls in the project Besides these answers the report includes: a suggestion for a sheet optimized for use in the production line, a list of improvements for LRT and a description of the process in full for a curtain area together with the details of how much time resources were spent. This report is directed towards construction engineers and readers with equivalent level of knowledge.

Full textEnergy systems based on fossil fuel have demonstrated their abilities to permit economic development. However, with the fast exhaustion of this energy source, the expansion of the world energy demand and concerns over global warming, new energy systems dependent on renewable and other sustainable energy are gaining more interests. It is a fact that future development in the energy sector is founded on the utilisation of renewable and sustainable energy sources. These energy sources can enable the world to meet the double targets of diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring reliable and cost-effective energy supply. Fuel cells are one of the advanced clean energy technologies to substitute power generation systems based on fossil fuel. They are viewed as reliable and efficient technologies to operate either tied or non-tied to the grid to power applications ranging from domestic, commercial to industrial. Multiple fuel cell stacks can be associated in series and parallel to obtain a fuel cell system with high power up to megawatts. The connection of megawatts fuel cell systems to a utility grid requires that the power condition unit serving as the interface between the fuel cell plant and the grid operates accordingly. Different power conditioning unit topologies can be adopted, this study considers a multilevel inverter. Multilevel inverters are getting more popularity and attractiveness as compared to conventional inverters in high voltage and high-power applications. These inverters are suitable for harmonic mitigation in high-power applications whereby switching devices are unable to function at high switching frequencies. For a given application, the choice of appropriate multilevel topology and its control scheme are not defined and depend on various engineering compromises, however, the most developed multilevel inverter topologies include the Diode Clamped, the Flying Capacitor and the Cascade Full Bridge inverters. On the other hand, a multilevel inverter can be either a three or a five, or a nine level, however, this research focuses on the three-level diode clamped inverters. The aim of this thesis is to model and control a three-level diode clamped inverter for the grid connection of a megawatt fuel cell stack. Besides the grid, the system consists of a 1.54 MW operating at 1400 V DC proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack, a 1.26 MW three-level diode clamped inverter with a nominal voltage of 600 V and an LCL filter which is designed to reduce harmonics and meet the standards such as IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-6. The inverter control scheme comprises voltage and current regulators to provide a good power factor and satisfy synchronisation requirements with the grid. The frequency and phase are synchronised with those of the grid through a phase locked loop. The modelling and simulation are performed using Matlab/Simulink. The results show good performance of the developed system with a low total harmonic distortion of about 0.35% for the voltage and 0.19% for the current.

Full textThe usage of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Models (BIM) in the building industry is steadily increasing and has been the subject of several studies during the last couples of years. The majority of these have focused on the new production of buildings. However, with an increasing need for renovation in large parts of the Swedish housing stock there has been an increasing interest in using VDC and BIM in retrofit projects. In addition to that, new advances in the field of surveying, mainly through laser scanning, have provided new adequate tools to create building information models of existing buildings. The objective of this study has therefore been to investigate how a BIM of an existing building can be developed and how it can be used in a retrofit project. The results reported in this study are partly based on a survey consisting of various survey methods and partly on a compilation of experiences from individuals who worked as either a surveyor or in retrofit projects where digital 3D models where used in one way or another. The survey consisting of different survey methods was carried out mainly through a literature study, whereas the collection of experiences was carried out in the form of an interview study. The conclusions that could be drawn from these results show that there are a variety of benefits associated with the use of BIM in retrofit projects. The most pronounced benefits relate to the communication between different participants within the project and participants that are affected by the project in various ways. These participants may include the tenants or the users of the property who often lack the knowledge and the experience of reading traditional blueprints in 2D. The implementation of digital 3D models would facilitate communication with these participants. Further to this the study presents a proposal for a method that can be used when creating a BIM for a retrofit project. This method consists of eight steps, carefully explaining what a client interested in a 3D model should consider in order to avoid the pitfalls that this study has been able to identify.

Full textThe purpose of this report is to enable project management and construction personnel to use BIM tools and methods more efficiently. Although NCC is currently using some functionality of such digital tools, NCC is not using the full tool suite to better manage their projects, specifically to leverage the cross discipline collaboration capabilities. In order to gather a comprehensive view of construction personnel requirements, interviews were conducted across a varied and wide range of age, seniority, and job position. These interviews formed the basis for the evaluation criteria of the BIM tools. Additional interviews were held with other staff, including project leads, model coordinators and construction engineers to ensure their knowledge was incorporated into the evaluation. To compliment the interviews, and further evaluate the digital tools for cross collaboration capabilities a house was modeled in Tekla Structures and Revit. Also the architectural and construction models of NCC project Trollhättan 33, T33, was available for testing. Two programs emerged as ‘best in class’ post the assessment, differentiated primarily by which phase of the construction lifecycle they were used for. Solibri Model Checker, SMC was considered most suitable tool in the project management phase and Trimble Connect considered best during the construction phase. SMC is suited for validation and quality control and Trimble Connect is a tool, in which models and documents can be stored for easy collaboration in project teams as well as visualizing models, which are easily shared via computer, tablet or mobile phone. The following BIM tools were tested: Solibri Model Checker v9.6 Navisworks Manage 2016 Autodesk BIM 360 Glue Trimble Tekla BIMsight Trimble Connect

Full textAt the same time as the competition in the construction industry is high. The demand for quality and efficiency has increased from the community. However, many of the issues concerning the management of digital documents and deliveries are not being handled in the manner required to obtain a standardized work process. The concept of BIM have flourished in the industry for a long period of time at this point, but despite this there is still a lot of confusion about what it actually means. The visualization aspect obtained from a BIM model has been well established but in a BIM model it is the information that defines the other aspects. It should therefore rather be interpreted as a flow of information with an associated 3D model than vice versa. Success factors regarding the implementation of a standardized working process in our neighboring countries has been government guidelines and directives. The so called BIM manuals are treating each part of the construction process from a BIM perspective and standards and processes get determined. Meanwhile, the process regarding similar guidelines has not been progressed in Sweden. Each actor is being described as their own pioneer and the risk is therefore great for the wheel to be reinvented every time. A step in the right direction would be if larger property developers, preferably the ones being owned by the government, in collaboration drew up documents similar to the ones found in our neighboring countries and required BIM in their procurements. Whether or not a BIM model can achieve legal status lays the foundation for the future of BIM, at the same time as this greatly affects the process of assuring the quality of the models.

Full textProductivity in the construction industry has for a long time been considered as low compared to other industries. The construction industry has started to adapt strategies that have been successful in other industries to increase the productivity. This report aims to examine how the information flow during foundation of concrete piles can be more efficient. The study is based on Skanska Sweden AB for the region of Skanska foundation. Concrete piling is one of the foundation activities that Skanska foundation performs. To create an understanding about the information flow, the authors had to identify the existing working method that was used today. The aim was then based on the current state to formulate a future state with a greater efficiency in the flow of information. BIM has begun to be implemented as a working method in the construction sector and have therefore been investigated in the report as an opportunity for an improved flow of information. To identify the production process for concrete piling within the company the authors have used value stream mapping. The method is a way of mapping a specific process, where the product that the customer wants is followed. The analysis originating from Toyotas method which today is referred to as lean. The mapping of concrete piling started from the transport of the factory to the pile was handed over to the customer. During the mapping the authors follows the material flow and the information flow related to the material during the process. The collection of data for the value stream mapping was done based on interviews and observations. To understand the possibility of implementations carried out a questionnaire and interviews, regarding the use of BIM in Skanska foundation. The use of BIM within the organization differs between the different professional groups, civil servants and skilled workers. The questionnaire survey was conducted on five projects in the Stockholm area. Among civil servants eight of 19 worked with BIM weekly or more often, while 16 of 17 skilled workers never had worked with BIM at all. The results of value stream analysis were collected from the two projects, the FSE 105 Concrete tunnel at Kungens kurva and interchange Vega. Based on the results the authors have formulated two areas of improvements. The first improvement is about release measuring through machine control and the second are about digitization of documents. Implementation of machine control on a pile driver does not need a long time to pay off financially. From the results, about 170,000 SEK can be saved per year and machine if machine control would be implemented on the pile drivers. There are more positive effects that have been observed during the study but these effects have not been measured. However, there are obstacles in the usability and technology today that require manual intervention at certain stages. For the development of BIM among the employees there are great gains through simplified information flow. With that there comes difficulties since a large proportion of employees is hindered by technology.

Full textIn Nepal the nature conservation practices started during 1970s and the establishment of the Royal Chitwan National Park laid the foundation stone. Though the nature conservation practices in Nepal have undergone changes to date, from purely protective to participatory conservation at the landscape level, the rural people around the conservation areas in general have faced complicated problems due to the restriction on the use of natural resources and the encroachment and threat of wild animals on their agricultural fields, human lives and domestic animals. In this context the present study explores rural landscape change in Jagatpur VDC after the implementation of the Royal Chitwan National Park. The main focus of this study was to look at how the rural landscape practices and the landscape values and meanings have changed over time and space, changing the rural landscape. The subjects were the traditional people and the migrants who were purposively selected using snowball sampling. Data triangulation i.e. structured open ended interviews, informal conversational interviews, observation and photography, were applied to collect the qualitative information.
The study shows that rural landscape, as an objective as well as subjective expression of the human cultures on the surface of the earth, has undergone considerable changes after the implementation of the Royal Chitwan National Park. The majority of the farmers have negative attitudes towards these changes. The study reveals that rural landscape practices are interrelated and have undergone changes with varying intensity, which has resulted in changing relationships between human beings and landscape with changing resource utilization. The study shows changes in landscape values and meanings with varying sociospatial dimensions. It also reveals that landscape values and meanings are interrelated and have a close relationship with landscape practices determining the changes in rural landscape. The result emphasizes the importance of values and meanings to understand the intricate relationship between human beings and the landscape. Finally the study suggests the importance of the cultural landscape concept in the nature conservation practice in Nepal.

Full textThe construction industry's technological development has in the recent decades introducedmany technical instruments, for example Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM). In 2001, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) was introducedas a new way of working by CIFE at Stanford in response to the declining productivity in theconstruction industry. VDC is defined as the use of multidisciplinary models to achieve projectgoals (Fischer and Kunz, 2004). Techniques from BIM, Integrated Concurrent Engineering(ICE) and Lean Construction are all used within the VDC-process (Mandujano et al, 2015).This study aims to investigate the connection between VDC and contractors’ operationalsystems, and to examine the implementation process and its challenges. To do this, thecontractors' own definitions of VDC must also be defined. The work has been carried out as acombination of a literature study and an interview study to cover the established knowledgewithin the academic arena and the contractors’ own knowledge in the field. The interview studyhas included two companies and one external expert.The result shows that the view of VDC is different among the contractors. For example, it’sdescribed as a methodology, a tool or a utility to achieve a high-performance building. Thecontractors use VDC practically in the form of ICE-like meeting structures or 3D and 4Dmodels. The cumulative implementation process of the companies has been conducted throughpilot projects and continuous VDC-training of employees. The companies have used twodifferent implementation strategies for VDC into their operational system. One company useda explicit strategy where VDC was entered directly into the operational system as a separatesubject area. The second strategy is called implict where VDC is not mentioned at all in theoperational system, but instead it’s descriptions, guides and routines that have been changed tointegrate VDC as a standardized working method within the organization.

Full textDigital tools have contributed to developing and changing the construction industry in recent years. Today, some construction companies use digital tools when planning in larger projects to plan work environment's work better and minimize the problematic risks. The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of how the work environment and risk identification are strengthened when the company applies modern tools in production. The work is limited to only clients / consultants and construction companies using digital tools. This report is based on three parts consisting of a literature study, a questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews conducted with six actors from different construction companies. Initially, a literature study was conducted to unravel theoretical concepts related to the work environment and digital tools. The interview method provided deeper information about how the work environment and digital tools are combined in different activities and the problems that actors experience in reality. Above all, the results have shown the great benefit of implementing digital tools in the risk management process and making the work preparation in the model, this leads to correctly identifying risky elements in the earlier stage and ensuring the working environment on the construction site. The models' areas of use are large, they can be used for visualizations, collision checks and risk analyzes, etc. By using, for example, BIM and Buildsafe as methods and communication tools during the work environment encourages other partners such as designers, contractors and safety specialists to involve risk assessment. By using VDC working methods, the designers can also simulate how a building is constructed and detect any risk factors in advance. The better the planning, the better the working environment. The future for the application of digital tools in the work environment looks bright. And today there is no doubt that the work environment can be improved with the help of digital tools. The study also shows that much depends on the Swedish Work Environment Authority and the customers requiring how digital tools are to be used more frequently, thus streamlining the construction process and further identifying risk in the future.

Full textThe architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is facing many challenges. Notleast, the focus has been on reducing time and increasing the quality of construction projects. Inaddition, there is a development within digitizing. New digital tools and building techniquesrequire new working methods and now challenge the industry that has long been considered bothconservative and characterized by low productivity.A construction project involves actors of several kinds, where clients, project managers, designmanagers and production managers are some of the most obvious roles. To meet new challenges,changes in working methods and attitudes for these positions are required. In this thesis, an indepthstudy takes place within the role of the design managers’ abilities in order to be able to leadthe design team, which also faces new digital working methods. The design process is studied asthe process where input is transformed into output during a constant flow of informationexchange, which ultimately results in a value-creating product for the client. These three conceptsare the roots within the leadership of the design management.This thesis is carried out as a qualitative study, the purpose of which is to investigate the designmanagers’ abilities to lead the design team and how the role and leadership are affected by thedigitizing with BIM and VDC. The study studies the role of design managers when it comes toleading, coordinating and managing people and information. BIM is studied as collected andshared digital information in a virtual model that can be used as a working method. VDC is beingstudied as a strategy for integrating virtual models and a working method within the designprocess which implicates facilitating and making all actors’ tasks more efficient by using BIMand following ICE.Based on the results of the study, it can be said that there are generally six different areas withabilities that a design manager should possess in order to lead the design team; 1) experience indesign or production, 2) leadership skills, social skills and engagement, 3) decision-making skills,4)generalist, 5) organized, clear and well-grounded and 6) responsive. The thesis shows thatcollaboration and interactivity are very important parts for a successful design process. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a forum is requested where the design team can designtogether. Therefore, design managers should gather the design team to a greater extent for asuccessful design process. This thesis demonstrates that design managers are faced withchallenges to plan and manage the design process from BIM and VDC. They experience changesin roles and responsibilities and difficulties in controlling ICE meetings. Design managers need tobe “awake of new professions” and keep the design team towards the final goal instead of thedigital model.

Full textThe construction industry suffers, due it´s dynamic work environment and intricate operations, from difficult information and communication problems. To solve these problems Veidekke incorporates the use of virtual design and construction (VDC) in its projects. VDC is a project method that applies the use of several different information and communication technologies and has proven to be profitable during the design phase. The use of VDC in the design phase assembles the decision-authorized parties in an interactive room where information can be shared quickly and effectively by utilizing visualization technology. VDC, however, lacks similar work processes for the construction phase of the project which still applies traditional information and communication principles. Through cooperation with Veidekke, an ICT-program was implemented in order to study its effect on the current information and communication problems. Observations and interviews were conducted in order to analyze the programs usability, user-friendliness and the conditions of implementation. The development of cloud computing services has revolutionized the possibilities to store and manage information. By utilizing the advantages of cloud services several ICT programs, such as BIM 360 Field, have been designed to address the information and communication problems of the construction industry. The programs create virtual forums wherein immense amounts of information can be stored, managed accessed by mobile units such as laptop computers, table pc and cellular phones. BIM 360 Field offers a range of different functions with high usability but should be adjusted to the Swedish construction industry in order to increase user-friendliness. In order for the program to be profitable it needs be fully implemented so that all construction parties are involved. Before new ICT can be introduced into a notoriously tech-conservative industry like construction, a well design implementation strategy needs to be established. The strategy should entail exactly which information and communication problems need to be addressed, what possibilities are available as well as how existing work processes and organizations need be conformed in order to maximize usability. The strategy should also contain an education and development plan.

Full textA society characterized by digitalization requires an update of the traditional working methods. The construction industry is considered to be in an era of digital development, but is still underdeveloped compared to many other industries. The Swedish Transport Administration points out in the national plan that a change of the working processes is required to succeed in implementing digital working methods. To handle this development the consultants' working methods need to be adapted to new digital methods. There is research showing that digital tools can be hard to implement in an already existing process. An increasing number of community planners are implementing VDC (Virtual Design and Construction), which includes ICE (Integrated Concurrent Engineering). However, there is no studies showing how this working method affects the design process of complex construction projects. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that affects ICE in the design process. The study shows how Sweco works with ICE in a complex construction project, and how the current design process is affected by the methodology. Data for this study was collected through interviews and observations that were summarized and analyzed using qualitative methods. The collected data made it possible to detect deviations and correlations with the theory of ICE. It has been shown that the reference project is working with a tight time schedule, where ICE has been considered to be an important factor to manage deliveries in time. There are still several factors that can be improved to reduce time latency in the reference project. It has been found that there are dependencies within and between technical areas/teams that are increasing the time to finish tasks. The dependencies are also preventing the purpose of ICE which is to work parallel and solving tasks during meetings. In order to utilize the full effects of ICE, the reference project needs to be adapted to the ICE-methodology in terms of planning and performance. Those involved in the process need better understanding of the ICE- methodology to work with the process. But also, that the reference project adjusts the existing working process to ICE. This can contribute positively to a projects implementation of ICE and create a more efficient process.

Full textBIM – Building information modelling is used today by architects, structural engineers,contractors and property owners among others. BIM is a tool where a 3D-model of the projectcan be used as a source of information.When the 3D-model contains measurements/quantities and types of material it becomes apowerful tool when doing cost estimations/quantity takeoffs and production planning. The usageof BIM-models for these activities is a relatively new way of working and there are very fewstandards and proven methods. To have use of the BIM-model it also takes an implementation ofcost estimate- and planning programs that supports the use of BIM. Also, there are no standardsor guidelines for the configuration of the BIM-model.Research show that the use of BIM-models in quantity takeoff and production planning is bothtime-saving and more cost efficient then the use of the traditional ways where 2D-CAD drawingswith included descriptions is the only source of information. Earlier reports and master thesis’salso show how 5D-BIM is used today and how it can be implemented for companies with eitherindustrial- or more traditional concepts. 5D-BIM is a method where beyond the 3D-model, timeand cost are also included as dimensions 4, and 5.This report aims to evaluate under what conditions an implementation of 5D-BIM is possible fora contractor with a concept that includes both industrial- and traditional building, and alsoevaluate the possibilities and problems that occur during implementation. The use of BIM differsbetween industrial “off-site construction” and traditional “on site construction”. The author ofthis thesis therefor wants to study a company with a concept that includes both industrial andtraditional practices and also evaluate what information is requested in the BIM-model.An explorative case study has been conducted at a partially industrial contractor that produceshouses. The method 5D-BIM has been implemented and current workflow has been studied thrumodel configuration-, cost estimation to production planning. The study of the current workflowis the foundation for the implementation of 5D-BIM and the evaluation of § model configuration.The study shows how 5D-BIM as a method can be implemented for a company that has both onandoff site construction as a concept, and used to increase predictability in the projects.

Full textDue to the digitalization the construction business is increasingly striving against more digitized tools and working methods. Presenting projects in 3D has therefore become a hot topic where several actors are trying to implement 3D not only in the design phase but also in the production phase. Earlier research dealing with the subject largely chooses to focus on the building construction process and highlights the advantages that can be extracted using so called VDC- or BIM tools. Some of the scientific reports reviewed during this study on the other hand, highlights the importance of the infrastructure and earthworks stages as a part of the entire construction process. Many also believe that the infrastructure and earthworks stage play a key role in whether a construction project achieve success or not. With that in mind, the authors feel that 3D-models for infrastructure and earthworks, have not yet been explored to the extent that feels necessary, meaning that the advantages and the various obstacles that stand in the way of a successful implementation process needs to be investigated. There is no doubt that building construction has come further in a digital development aspect of visualizing projects in 3D, compared to infrastructure and earthworks. In this study the authors have highlighted the benefits that can be gained by visualizing infrastructure and earthworks projects in 3D. The study also shows evidence of why the application of such should take place and what companies should be considering when implementing 3D visualization into such projects. The purpose of the study is therefore to investigate how the company researched by the authors can integrate 3D models into their infrastructure and earthworks projects. This in addition to identifying the requirements that the employees have on a 3D model to facilitate development of a tool that fulfils these requirements and is usable in production. In addition, the conditions and requirements that play a main role in infrastructure and earthworks projects have been investigated to identify the most suitable conditions to allow the model to work in the most efficient way as possible. The study is conducted with a qualitative method including an examination of existing literature that highlights the problem areas identified by the authors. In addition, semi structured interviews are carried out with employees from the work-site leadership and the skilled workers at the company Veidekke Entreprenad AB. This to identify the current problem areas in the production of infrastructure and earthworks projects and to examine employees’ view about how 3D models would impact on their everyday work. A clear overall conclusion is that 3D-models are truly needed in infrastructure and earthworks projects out in production. A lot of factors indicate that the tool would, among other things, contribute to an increased understanding of the scope of projects and thus contribute to an improved communication and production process leading. Such a tool can according to this study, also minimize problem areas regarding technical solutions, contribute to a better planning, and by digitizing processes, increase job satisfaction for the site team.

Full textInom byggnadsbranschen är fastighetsförvaltning den minst utvecklingsintensiva delen vilket märks vid en jämförelse av hur arbetssätt och digitala hjälpmedel nyttjas. Informationsmodellen som byggs upp i digitala hjälpmedel är sällan anpassad för slutlig fastighetsförvaltning. Arbetet avser att undersöka om förändringar i framförallt byggprocessens tidiga skede kan bidra till positiva förändringar för fastighetsförvaltare och fastighetsförvaltningsmodeller. Rapportens innehåll baseras till stor del på en omfattande intervjustudie där informanterna består av olika konsulter, projektledare, fastighetsförvaltare och leverantörer till byggnadsprojekt. Det finns integrerade arbetsmetodiker som skulle kunna bistå vid fastighetsförvaltaren deltagande i tidiga skeden genom styrning. Arbetsmetodiken Virtual Design and Construction börjar få genomslag hos aktörer i branschen. Informanter som är anställda hos större bolag inom projektering eller produktion ligger i framkant gällande certifieringen och användning av VDC. Metodiken minskar tidsåtgången för beslutsprocesser och på så sätt även kostnader. För att få en hög verkningsgrad av VDC finns krav på engagemang. Med rätt kompetens i tidiga skeden av byggprojekt kan en digital modell visa sig ha ett värde för fastighetsförvaltning.

Full textIn these times of accelerated technology development, it is inadmissible that the construction sector in Peru continues as in the past: adding low productivity, enormous losses of money, disgruntled owners (public or private) and disgruntled end users. The advantage of having the project fully modeled before it has even started is unprecedented in the construction industry worldwide. Furthermore, the comparative cost of obtaining this result versus the cost of implementing it is totally minimal, almost non-existent, compared to the investment amounts of a project. This virtual VDC design and construction methodology consists of the modern union of design, construction and operation from the initial stages of a project, and this is underpinned by BIM modeling. The intention of this methodology is to define, align and achieve ends and goals, as well as to contribute to the decrease of unnecessary resources (time, capacity, inventories, costs) during the elaboration process. The theoretical basis of this methodology includes: • Engineering modeling methods: product, organization and process. • Methods of analysis and design based on models: quantities, schedules, costs, risks of processes. These are all building information modeling (BIM) tools. • Information visualization methods. • Business metrics and a focus on strategic management. ¡ • Analysis of the economic impact: models of the cost and value of capital investments. It benefits, both in the virtual and physical formats. Firstly, it produces a considerable improvement in collaborative work between the different agents involved in the project; second, and as a result of the first, a decrease in time and costs by reducing design incompatibilities and providing more detailed information for decision-making in the face of possible unforeseen events.

Full textCurrently, building projects being executed, generally, do not have a defined engineering at the beginning of the construction stage. This situation generates that the projects have numerous undefinitions in their beginning. As a result, consultations, change orders, and definitions are given in greater quantity in the execution stage, increasing the effort and therefore increasing the contractual term in the solution of any rework. Traditional, non-collaborative, methodologies usually have as a common denominator, the large number of requests for information during construction. This situation added to a slow response flow to field requests can end up being detrimental to the timely delivery of the project. This VDC methodology is based on “build” twice, in other words, previously build the project in a virtual model with all the specialties consolidated and compatible for, once having the model released and free of undefinitions, to proceed with the actual construction. This methodology seeks to reduce unnecessary resources and reduce variability through collaborative work through ICE sessions in the joint use of technological tools (BIM) and Lean philosophies. The present thesis demonstrates that, having an integrated model in the design stage and accompanied by a collaborative team in ICE sessions, it is possible to transfer efforts from construction to design stage in order to reduce execution time of building projects.

Full textVirtual Design and Construction (VDC) was introduced early in the 21st century in order to encourage work with computer based models and construction planning in the design phase. VDC is a concept that has been embraced by several construction and consulting companies in order to develop their work with Building Information Model (BIM), innovations and cooperation within construction projects. VDC is a concept that keeps evolving and is being redefined by individuals and companies. This has contributed to a conceptual confusion within the construction sector about the definition of VDC. Furthermore, construction projects tend to be fragmented with project members that are working in silos and primarily focusing on their own discipline. In order to decrease the fragmentation within construction projects integrated working methods can be applied. Therefor the purpose of this master thesis is to explore the concept VDC and how it can stimulate integrated working methods. The study is examined using qualitative methods based on scientific literature and an interview study. The scientific literature is defining VDC conceptually and two integrated working methods Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Furthermore, the interview study includes respondents from the construction industry whose reflections and thoughts about the subject are being presented. The study is geographically limited to Sweden. The result shows the current ambiguity of how VDC is defined. In order to avoid a conceptual confusion a common definition should be formulated with national guidelines that describe how work with VDC should be conducted. Furthermore, VDC can stimulate an integrated approach through increased cohesion within construction projects, including common objectives within the project and joint problem solving between project members.

Full textThe background of this study is that the measurement figures are an important part of projects which use VDC, Virtual Design and Construction, as a method for the project. How companies choose to work with the measurement figures and which resources they have available differ. This study is carried out on behalf of Tyréns, which is a company that is at the beginning of using this method in selected projects. Together with this study, they want to bring forth a method to show the project organization and the client how they work with VDC. This study is, therefore, an initial study to examine a suitable way to work with measurement figures and is accomplished by answering the questions: • Which measurement figures are relevant to measure, concerning to BIM, to achieve the customer's and the project's goals? • How can these measurements be presented to the project participants in an educational way? The study has been conducted at Tyrén's office in Stockholm together with staff from Tyrén's own BIM department. The material in this study has been produced through an interview with Jakob Berggren, who is the Head of the Department, and through two workshops where participants were allowed to discuss an appropriate approach in common. This material has been analyzed together with previous studies to finally present two measurement figures and how these can be presented. Based on the results of the study, it was found that clear BIM-related goals are currently lacking, which is essential for measuring figures to be useful in the project. Despite this, the participants in the study considered that the number of collisions in a BIM model and the time saved thanks to automatic processes are considered as appropriate metrics, to begin with. The initial work should then be to build up a history of these two metrics to set appropriate goals and get the customer and project management to understand the benefits of BIM. By understanding the benefits of BIM, the expectation is that BIM-related goals will be formulated earlier in projects. Furthermore, the metrics should be presented, according to the participants of the study, on the project's project page which is SharePoint, developed by Microsoft. The presentation of the metrics is most suitable in the form of a dashboard. The visual design is of great importance to give the project participants a clear and concrete picture of the metrics without being misled. Finally, an appropriate proposal for the design of this dashboard is presented at the end of the report and taking into account the appropriate guidelines that emerged during the study.
