The purpose of this RFP is to identify a consultant to assist the University to develop a specification document that defines the Design and Construction scope of work and deliverables for using Building Information Modeling (BIM) on new Laurier construction projects, major renovations and other projects as required by the University. “Building Information Model” (BIM) is a parametric, computable representation of the project design developed by the Designer and their consultants, the Contractor, and their subcontractors, including construction details developed by the Contractor and its respective consultants and subcontractors that are integrated into the model.
If used effectively, BIM provides opportunities to vastly improve upon traditional methods of design and construction coordination thereby reducing the potential for costly change orders, providing multiple opportunities for Owner review and participation by means of 3D visualization of the project and specialty spaces, and reducing design and construction schedules. In addition, BIM creates opportunities for reusing data for multiple purposes, including the operation and maintenance of Laurier’s facilities. To achieve these ends, the BIM must be structured to achieve the required purposes.
