BIM Module Projects
From 2016 onwards, the module has been redesigned to give students more exposure to real life projects. The new redesigned module covers the nature and potential of BIM as a format for exchanging digital and spatial information in project and facilities management. Topics include the principles of BIM, implementation, and other nontechnical aspects of BIM.
The students get involved in the real projects in 'BIMing' up the Town of Holland-Bukit Panjang. Extensive hands-on training is provided to produce BIM models to manage the facilities of HDB blocks of the Town.
Below are some of the sample BIM Models produced by students during this redesigned module from 2016 onwards.
Group 1- Proposal for TAL International University
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2015
Brief: The design we proposed blended the simplicity of structural efficiency with the delight of interactive spaces by utilizing a 'stacked blocks' layout. This allowed us the freedom of having functional spaces while also incorporating ancillary spaces for student activities. It is in this way that we are able to create a conducive yet vibrant environment for students of the School of Built Design.
Group 2- Proposal for University of Soleil
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2015
Brief: The proposed University of Soleil will be expecting 20,000 students studying in Singapore with the University of Soleil International Programmes. With a mission to nurture thoughtful leaders of tomorrow through the pursuit of education, learning and research with excellence and a vision to build bridges and link lives, University of Soleil envision the its insitutes to be a place, not just to serve the educational needs of the institution, but also as a breeding ground for love, warmth, friendliness, co-operation, understanding and forgiveness amidst human interactions.
Group 3- Proposed building for SIT new campus
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2015
Brief :The proximity of the Punggol Waterway and Punggol Promenade Nature Walk provides an opportunity for enhanced learning for the students from Environmental Studies and Geography and further serves as an inspirational learning environment where nature integrates seamlessly with learning.Besides the provision of educational needs, the new campus is set to integrate with the existing creative industry cluster built by JTC. This is to promote collaborations and sharing of facilities within the two entities.
Group 4- Proposed Building for Univeristy of Marina bay
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2015
Brief : The school is placed in the beautiful and newly developed area Marina Bay and is surrounded by spectacular architecture, futuristic gardens and in the middle of the city center. The campus is close to two MRT-stations and it is just a short trip to the water, Gardens by the Bay or Marina Bay Sands.
Group 5- Proposed Building for Stanford-NTU
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2015
brief: Due to the Chinese heritage of NTU, the campus design of Stanford-NTU College makes much reference to the Chinese quadrangles or Siheyuan, a traditional type of residence in China. By this name, a typical Chinese quadrangle comprises a courtyard surrounded by buildings on all four sides along the North-South direction, where the main entrance is on the Southern side.
Ace BIM
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2014
At AceBIM, we aim to make better buildings through more sustainable design. In striving to attain Green Mark Certification with standard design considerations under Energy efficiency, Water efficiency, Environmental protection, Indoor environmental quality and other green and innovative features which contribute to better building performance. By simulating environmental and building conditions through the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling). With integrated project delivery approach can therefore help increasing efficiencies for owners, constructors and designers.
BIM Research Centre
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2014
Established in 2014, the BIM Research Centre is an innovative incubator at National University of Singapore. It is set to champion the BIM roadmap in Singapore's ever-changing built environment.The design of the building is inspired by the functionality and collaborative opportunities that BIM can provide. Our building's minimalistic design highlights the dynamic interior layout and the on-going rich building information exchange. This is a reflection of a never static BIM.
NUS - iBIM
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2014
The NUS BIM Research Centre of Tender A will be converted from two existing computer rooms (E-studios) in NUS SDE2 through Additions and Alterations (A&A) works. In the existing facility, features like plugs and wirings for the computers and the electrical equipments are already in place. This helps to reduce the excessive alterations, allowing for cost effectiveness and reduce time required in construction. The NUS BIM Research Centre of Tender B will be built on Level 3 of NUS SDE2, after the relocation of the Executive Rooms and the Student Research Center in the level to make more efficient use of the space available.
BEE BIM BAP
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2014
BIM goes beyond the planning and design phase of the project, extending throughout the building life cycle, supporting processes including cost management, construction management, project management and facility operation. Therefore BEEBIMBAP exists to provide services to the building construction industry. Building owners, general contractors, and construction managers require our services to reduce risk, manage costs, and optimize schedules on complex building projects through the usage of various Software such as Archicad, Glodon, Telka, Synchro, Solid work and other necessary software that are required to meet the needs of the clients.

OneBIM
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2013
This content of this segment would include the capacity and site in which the BIM Centre would hold and be situated respectively. The BIM Centre is estimated to accommodate 10 workers and the maximum amount of visitors that is allowed into the BIM Centre at any one time would be about 100. Stipulating the capacity of the BIM Centre is vital as it directly affects the usage of the site area and the planning of the layout of the BIM Centre. With that, the BIM Centre will incorporate a studio, an office, two meeting rooms, canteen as well as a BIM lab which would be designed as the focal point.
BIM Dream Team
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2013
As BIM concept is still in its infancy phase in Singapore, BCA have taken an active approach in promoting the adoption of BIM into local construction projects. The current requirement that has been implemented by BCA is the compulsory use of BIM in government's construction projects. In addition, some tertiary institutions and construction companies has taken a leading role in spearheading the use of BIM in the construction industry through education, training, research and development
iSMART
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2013
After the modelling of the project, various energy analysis and clash detection analysis can be performed. Reports of the analysis will provide the designers on the issues that need to be paid close attention to. Modification or changes of design would be expected. Cost analysis will be conducted so as to ensure that it is in line with what the client is willing to offer. Design consultants should advise the designers on the cost, as they act as the representative for the client.
BIM Hero
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2013
To fulfil the client's expectations of being the iconic building in Singapore, the team aims to create an interactive environment for learning in the BIM Centre. An interactive environment refers to the use of computer-based media to show simulation or animation which will enhance communication amongst individuals. In addition, the team looks into aesthetically unique buildings which will capture sustainable design concepts that are able to integrate well into the surrounding.
BIM Infinity
PF 4206 BIM MODULE 2013
As BIM is an emerging tool in the construction industry, our team has derived the conceptual idea of the shape of an airplane which symbolises BIM technology is in the process of development and flourish. Working along this train of thoughts, a building which takes the shape of the plane is envisaged together with the integration of greenery. Appendix B shows the development of our preliminary designs.
