Enhancing Information Management With Bluebeam Revu The Contractor As-Built Models will be developed into selective 3D PDFs for operations, and Bluebeam Revu will be used to cut and link the sheet views from the designer record Revit model, facilitating the permit drawing package from the Revit model. To organize the distribution of this myriad of BIM and non-BIM data with project team members and the owner, CADFORCE is leveraging Bluebeam Revu, a PDF-based collaboration solution that enables users to review, markup, edit and collaborate on 2D and 3D PDFs.įor example, the Contractor As-Built document deliverables will be cataloged through Bluebeam’s hyperlinking technology.Designer Record Revit Models, consisting of the architect’s and structural engineer’s model updated from in-field changes.Contractor As-Built Models, consisting of 2D and 3D models generated from a variety of sources, including NavisWorks and 3D CAD files provided by the contractor.Augmented electronically through the use of PDFs, these files are a mixture of hard and soft copy files. used by the contractor during the construction process. Contractor As-Built Documents, consisting of traditional, paper-based documents such as drawings, submittals, specs, etc.The BIM execution and management plan also established that the following deliverables will be turned over to LADPW (after CADFORCE’s thorough review): How project information would be turned over to LADPW.How the construction team would use these electronic models.How the design team would develop models.To ensure a seamless transition for the MLK Inpatient Tower project team, CADFORCE created a BIM execution and management plan which defined: Since BIM was deployed during the middle of the design phase of this project, CADFORCE was tasked with managing the transition from using traditional 2D CAD files to an entirely new scope of 3D data generated from Revit ® design and Navisworks ® coordination models. To further facilitate this process, Bluebeam ® Revu ® was utilized as a management tool for the project’s massive repository of PDF files. As LADPW’s representative, CADFORCE oversaw the coordination and delivery of all documents generated from design through construction and project turn-over, ensuring that owner’s requirements were met. In order to make this transition seamless, CADFORCE, an architectural services provider that specializes in deploying innovative technologies, was brought on to oversee the BIM development. By the middle of the scoping phase, LADPW made the decision to transition the project into Building Information Modeling (BIM). Years earlier during the master planning stage the project owner, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works (LADPW), had kept the project documentation in traditional CAD format. The Inpatient Tower is slated to be completed in early 2013. Medical Center Campus in Los Angeles, California. In 2011, construction began on the $208,500,000 Inpatient Tower renovation project at the Martin Luther King, Jr.
