Standards and Templates

Standards are a necessity for BIM. BIM standards are more than the layers and graphics used in current CAD standards. BIM standards incorporate element naming, model location, element design and property definition. Managers need accurate data to ensure the model is correct, meets applicable codes and meets the budget. To accomplish this in a complex model users need to sort and reduce the data set.

Quarry Group produces and provides custom template creation for a number of different BIM standards

Design BIM Standards

• Custom Templates for Revit, ArchiCAD, Bentley
• View naming standards
• Sheet Naming standards per company
• Sheet and View organization
• Element naming and storage conventions
• Top level content naming
• Sub level (Type and Library Naming conventions
• Addition of National standards to content
• File management and control
• Workgroup standards
• Firm Standard Content
  • Quarry can build and maintain your firm content
  • Titleblocks, Graphics, Tags, Notes, Logos etc
  • Management of project deliverables
  • Consultants coordination

Construction BIM Standards

Along with Design standards, constructions standards take the model to the next level of completeness allowing contractors and estimators to perform virtual construction on the model using 4D scheduling and 5D estimating in addition to the Design Standards.

Construction BIM standards include:

• Naming conventions to allow for 4D and 5D operations
• Standards to construct the model in a method to allow for simulation of construction
• Materials and systems that allow for subcontractor addition to the model
• Level of Detail standards based on AIA E202
• Integration with downstream software like Navisworks and WinEstimator

Owner BIM Standards

Owners and project managers need to understand how the BIM process during design and construction is evolving and what is happening with the models and designs. Owners also need to have data and graphics delivered at the end of the construction that meets their needs for future Life-Cycle Management processes. Due to the amount and complex nature of the data, this must be done during the design and construction phase. Quarry can educate owners on what to standardize and assist with the creation of standards for project deliverables
Owner BIM information

• Builds on the Design and Construction standards
• Defines the organization method
• Defines deliverables during design phases, construction and post occupancy
• Defines the analysis needs for the project (Coordination, Energy, Circulation, LEED, etc.)
• Defines the data necessary for owner organization or software integration
  • CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management Software)
  • CMMS (Computer Maintenance Management System)
  • Other (Store Tracking Site tracking Security, etc.)
