SOLUTION
Our scope was originally limited to BIM management, however Duncan & Ross knows the dynamic of BIM is not limited for management only. We went the extra mile to support our client and their sub consultants. The main objective for this project was to educate all project participants about common goals and strategy required to adopt and to deliver this iconic project successfully.
We supported our client for BIM management making sure 12+ other consultants understand the BIM requirement and the required deliverables; a large amount of instruction and coaching was required.
Our expertise in this field and previous experience supported us to execute this BIM project management role smoothly. We started with defining BEP, BMP along with MIDP and MDS making it very focused for the end user and client. Also our expertise in setting up “Common Data Environment” (CDE) as per international standards simplified the process for everyone.
