Query 5: Make model-based predictions using a VDC project model

Submit as a pdf document in the Week-6 segment of the class Wiki.  Please see writing guidelines. Please prepare thoughtful, concise responses.

Create one PowerPoint slide for each question, using at least 18 point font. Use the slide header to explain the content of each slide, based on the question in the query. As necessary, use the Notes section of slides for explanatory detail.

Notes:

• Prepare the slides for presentation to the class;
• This is a group assignment for your class project team.

Warmup:

1. (3 points) Create an integrated Level-B POP and MACDADI model for the project. Show your:

• POP-FFB model for your baseline design version. Please annotate to explain a any important features for your client that are changed from last week.
• Annotate and briefly explain the description of of objectives, preferences, threshold values and evaluation of one design option in the MACDADI segment of your POP model as they relate to the sponsor objective of measuring and then improving schedule conformance

Interpretation:

2. (3 points) Show and simply annotate a simple isometric sketch (Sketchup or hand-drawn) of a segment of a building and two views of your BIM.
   • Include a few annotations to show the cross reference between a few elements in the POP, sketch and BIM
3. (2 points) Show a LCA analysis of your project. Annotate it to show any references to the POP model behaviors or objectives. Comment on your evaluation of the LCA of your project design with respect to client objectives.
4. (2 points) Show a Solibri analysis of one aspect of the BIM. Explain your Solibri analysis with respect to the POP model. Comment on your evaluation of this aspect of project design goodness with respect to client objectives.
5. (1 points) Design the design-construction schedule of your segment of the project and show a pretty picture of it that meets your process specifications from the POP model and that has activities to construct each type of product form element in your POP model.
   • Annotate the POP model, schedule and an isometric building sketch to identify at least two elements as they appear or are referenced indirectly in each representation.
   • Explain your analysis of the schedule completion data risk.
6. (3 points) Put a DSS movie on YouTube that shows the construction and the time varying performance at least two important behaviors of your project. In one or a few screen shots,
   • Annotate the relationship between two physical elements represented in both your DSS and POP models
   • Annotate any corresponding elements in the POP behavior/objectives, MACADI spider diagram and DSS analytics graph of a predicted behavior performance.
7. (2 points) Create a single PowerPoint slide that summarizes your VDC modeling efforts and another that summarizes your recommendations for future BIMs.
   • On the summary, include part or all of your POP model and a snapshot of your Product, Organization and Process models. Use annotations to explain any relationship among the graphic models and components of the POP model.
   • On the recommendation slide, summarize your
     • PBS, which shows the intended content of the BIM to enable design reviews by the project team and the analyses you performed;
     • OBS, which shows the teams that create, review and analyze the BIM;
     • WBS, which shows the tasks used to create, review and analyze the BIM;
     • Checklist of a few steps to create and use a BIM and checks to make before the start of each step.
8. (1 point) Actionability: briefly comment on your assessment of the extent to which your assumed functions, forms, predictions, analyses, evaluation and recommendations believably support decision-making by you, the project team, and your sponsor. Reference specific figures from previous questions and add new figures that you annotate as appropriate.
9. (1 point) ORID analysis - briefly summarize the week:

• Objectives: What facts did you see, hear?
• Reflective Positive: What surprised or encouraged you positively?
• Reflective Negative: What surprised or encouraged you negatively?
• Interpretive: What patterns and insights did you get;  what are some  limits of what you saw?
• Decisional: Identify  your next steps

Comments

• How much time did you spend talking with fellow classmates about the homework?
• How much time did you spend alone working on the homework?
• What was one thing you leaned in doing the homework or assessment?
• What is one thing you found confusing or irritating in doing the homework or assessment?
