BIM / Workflow noteAgree the information before modelling.
Define disciplines, project stage, modelling scope and required drawings before production starts. Identify who authors each model and how revisions are reviewed. A useful brief includes source drawings, model versions and the intended use of the information.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎VDC / Workflow noteConnect reviews with construction decisions.
Bring discipline information and construction sequencing into shared reviews. Record interfaces, owners and actions so a model review produces decisions that teams can follow through.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎Automation / Workflow noteStart with a repeatable engineering task.
Choose a task with explicit inputs, rules and outputs: drawing creation, parameter updates or quantity schedules. Supply sample models and expected results. Exceptions and review steps belong in the workflow brief.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎Revit / Workflow noteStandardize the inputs to custom tools.
Revit versions, templates, families and shared parameters influence automation behavior. Agree these dependencies and test on representative models before distributing a plug-in to production teams.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎Construction Technology / Workflow noteConnect design information with delivery.
A technology brief should describe the engineering decision or production task it supports. Define users, authorized data access, required outputs and existing systems before choosing an integration.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎4D / 5D / Workflow noteTime and quantities need their own inputs.
4D connects model elements with a construction programme. 5D quantity and cost workflows need measurement rules and cost inputs. Both require review of the model information used for the agreed purpose.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎Scan-to-BIM / Workflow noteSet the scope of existing-condition information.
Define the survey coverage, modelling disciplines, required detail and deliverables. Point clouds and site records support the model; agree how hidden or unrecorded conditions will be handled.
Discuss your workflow ↗︎Engineering Workflows / Workflow noteMake handovers explicit.
Define deliverables, model exchanges, drawing requirements and approval responsibilities. Keep the scope of each discipline clear, and agree how information changes move through coordination and review.
