BIM-driven productivity improvements for the Canadian construction industry

这项建议提出了一个合作项目，旨在促进本地建造业在两个特定领域，即电子许可自动化和基于BIM的现场可视化和协作技术，广泛使用尖端技术进步和提高生产率。这两个研究主题已被战略性地选择，以将建筑信息建模(BIM)的好处从设计阶段扩展到许可和施工过程。多伦多大学高楼研究中心、Rescon、QOO工作室和NSERC之间的合作伙伴关系是推动这一努力不可或缺的一部分。 这项提案的总体愿景是使用BIM驱动的技术提高建筑业的生产率。通过与我们的行业合作伙伴和多伦多BIM社区(TBIMc)成员的合作，确定了两个目标。首先是开发一个基于BIM的电子许可框架，提供自动化标准代码遵从性检查活动的机会。这些活动可由设计者在提交前使用，或在区域当局许可的过程中使用。第二个目标是为在BIM平台上实施现场可视化和协作工具制定一个框架。该架构将以评估技术应用的成效为基础，包括提高行业生产力、改善地盘协调、减少返工、自动化检查和加强建筑质素控制。

This proposal presents a collaborative project aimed at facilitating the widespread use of leading edge technological advancements and productivity improvements for the local construction industry in two specific areas, namely, e-permitting automation and BIM-based on-site visualization and collaboration technologies. These two research themes have been strategically selected to extend the benefits of building information modelling (BIM) beyond the design stage and into the permitting and construction processes. The partnership between University of Toronto's Building Tall Research Centre, RESCON, Qoo Studio, and NSERC are integral to advancing this effort. The overarching vision of this proposal is to improve the productivity of the construction industry using BIM-driven technologies. In collaboration with our industry partners and members of the Toronto BIM Community (tBIMc), two objectives are identified. The first is to develop a BIM-based e-permitting framework that provides opportunity to automate standard code-compliance checking activities. These activities can be used by designers prior to submission or during the permitting processes by the regional authority. The second objective is to develop a framework for the implementation of on-site visualization and collaboration tools on a BIM platform. The framework will be based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of technology implementation in terms of increased productivity of trades, improved site co-ordination, reduced rework, automated inspections, and enhanced construction quality control.
