<br /> <br /> <br />Question 8 Evidence of capabilities for construction scheduling, material procurement, and assurance <br />that plans, specifications. and schedules are met. <br /> <br /> <br />Current Builders employs leading-edge project <br />management services empowered by Building <br />Information Modeling (BIM) technology in conjunction <br />with dynamic scheduling and resource allocation <br />systems. For the Sunny Isles project Virtual Design & <br />Construction (VDC) services will commence during the <br />design phase, or any time prior to construction, and <br />continue through the entire construction process. VDC <br />services allow Current Builders to coordinate building <br />systems to an unprecedented degree and perform <br />analyses of system performance. VDC services give <br />Current Builders a unified system for managing time, <br />cost and design information to dramatically improve planning & construction efficiency. BIM technology is used to <br />harness the knowledge and experience of the project team to ensure constructability and explore design options. <br /> <br />Using BIM technology, Current Builders has been able to discover and prevent a wide range of coordination <br />errors prior to and during construction. On the Four-Forty Flagler Village project in downtown Ft. Lauderdale, FL, <br />BIM and was utilized to discover and resolve numerous problems with the structural column layout. Additionally, <br />mechanical shafts, elevator pits and machine rooms were able to be modified before construction began to <br />incorporate the exact equipment, thereby saving a large number of RFls and eventual change orders. All of the <br />constructability issues discovered using BIM were communicated and resolved with the collaboration of the <br />appropriate project team members. With full 3D visualization of coordination issues, BIM saved the project team <br />much of the time that would <br />traditionally be taken to <br />determine the proper action <br />and enabled the consideration <br />of downstream effects of the <br />various options considered. <br />As a result, the Four-Forty <br />Flagler Village project has <br />achieved a certificate of <br />occupancy nearly two months <br />ahead of schedule with a <br />fraction of total RFls in <br />comparison to similar projects <br />done prior to Current Builders' <br />use of BIM technology. <br /> <br /> <br />12 I P age <br />
