 INTRODUCTION TO BIM

BIM can appear to be many things to different

people,depending on each perspective. Some
People say;

 Fancy 3D graphics

 Revit or Naviswork software

 Building Information Management

 Better Information Management

Adopting BIM principles will be a very different

proposition for each of the different sectors of

 INTRODUCTION TO BIM

BIM is the process of generating and managing building data dur-

ing its life cycle

A BIM is the digital representation of Physical and functional char-

acteristics of a building.

 What important is that BIM

o ….Is a process and not a software application
o ….Refers both graphical and non-graphical information
o …Mandates digital transfer of data between all parties and software
o …Is associated with the entire lifecycle of the building or asset, not
just the design and construction phase

 For the adoption of BIM Technology

 All the infrastructure BIM requires for its imple-
mentation is secured
1) Like local Server, Cloud server)
2) Design Studio with High graphics desktop
 In Collaboration with CMI our Corporation has
arranged BIM training session for 25 staff for dif-
ferent discipline (Architecture, Structural Engi-

MICE Tourism

refers to a specialized niche of business tourism that focuses on the planning, booking, and facilitating of Meet-
ings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions.

Components of MICE tourism

• Meeting, a gathering for specific activities, a communicative event.

• Incentive travel, is a management tool where employees are given travel tickets outside their jurisdiction to
motivate them, especially if they achieve company goals.

• A conference is an annual gathering of professionals for sharing ideas, debate, information exchange, prob-
lem-solving, and consultation.

• An exhibition is a public event promoting goods and services, aiming to enhance sales, make products
known, and provide new information. It serves as a networking avenue and is primarily business-oriented.

ECO
 Cost Determinant Factors
There are so many factors that affect the cost of construction of a convention
center.

BASED ON CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS

Client needs typically revolve around quality, cost, and time.
1. Quality: Quality considerations include
• aesthetics, defect-free finish, intended purpose fulfillment, warranties, durability, and user appeal.
Over-specifying and using high-quality materials can increase overall cost.

2. Cost: To guarantee project delivery within budgetary limits, contractors must

take energy efficiency, maintenance costs, building appearance, and space use
into account during the design phase.

3. Time: Rapid construction, often involving early contractor engagement and

fast-track design, increases costs due to accelerated work schedules, overtime
payments, efficient management, and reliance on subcontractors and suppliers.
ECO
 Cost Determinant Factors

BASED ON DESIGN COST

The design of a structure, including its shape, size, and complexity, plays a
crucial role in determining construction costs. For instance, larger buildings with
simple, regular floor plans and elevations will have a lower cost per square meter of
floor area than smaller, complex-shaped, curved, or angular structures.

Unique design features might require expensive materials, adding extra costs.
Additionally, the emphasis on sustainability and whole life cycle costs will influence
the project's overall expense.

ECO
 Cost Determinant Factors

BASED ON SITE CHARACTERISTICS

1. Location: The project's location significantly influences its cost. Valuable sites
attract high-value developments, while constructing low-value projects on
valuable sites is not economically justifiable.

2. Physical Site Conditions: Natural site features, ground conditions, existing

structures, and underground and overground utilities shape the design and
construction of the building.

3. Accessibility of Services: The availability, location, and capacity of existing

utilities must be considered in the design. Connecting the building to these
services can be costly if they are inconveniently located or distant from the site.

ECO
 Cost Determinant Factors

BASED ON NATURE OF THE PROJECT

Client needs typically revolve around quality, cost, and time.

1. Choice of Architect: The selection of an architect is pivotal for any project, and
it reflects the client's priorities, particularly concerning quality and cost. Clients
aiming for prestigious or landmark developments opt for high-quality design
practices.

2. Building Complexity: The complexity of a building significantly affects its costs.

Convention centers with amenities such as sports arenas, theaters, and hotel
differ in terms of cost.
