Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning
$25,000.00
BIM Workflow for Affordable Single-Family Housing
FY 2020-21
Summary
BIM Studio's primary business is to provide Building Information Management (BIM) services to the Canadian building and construction industry, which reduces costly errors, material waste, low-quality, high-priced housing, which ultimately does not serve the housing needs of the public. The goal of this project is to test the redesign of tract houses and builder options, in an interchangeable way, and minimize the impact of the construction procurement process utilizing the BIM workflow developed by BIM Studio. The current challenge this industry is facing is the lack of highly-skilled personnel that understand both design, building and construction along with computer programming. The outcomes of this research will increase speed, accuracy and efficiency when creating single-family dwellings along with creating the possibility of automation in a controlled facility. This will impact the construction industry by providing a consistent and safer work environment. Humber students working on the project will gain valuable technical skills regarding construction detailing, new modes of construction documentation and workflows utilizing Revit as a basis in conjunction with 3rd party plugins.
