Process improvements and strategic implementations: design and
tools
• Implementing (BIM) Building Information Modelling in projects executions and
initiatives to support green design
• Building Management Integrated Systems (BMIS) implementation
Project management
• More knowledge about the building earlier in the life cycle regarding cost,
energy use, organisational performance, 3D visualisation by all members of the
project team including the owner
• Ability to use construction and fabrication knowledge during design, ability fro
greater use of off site fabrication, ability to use product information earlier in
design and procurement planning
Design – Fabrication – Developer – Engineers – Owner Integration
• Better coordination of project team using the model as source of decision
making and planning, faster procurement, greater use of fabricated components
from global sources. Fewer owner changes because of better understanding of
the building and how it will function for its users, few errors, omissions and
claims, use of “ as built’ model for facility management
Closing remarks from the chair and end of conference
Why you cannot miss this event
Buildings have now become the epitome of city life with important sociocultural
implications. Asia in particular is the core site of rapid construction fuelled by economic
growth for new buildings and renovation or restoration of existing buildings.
Although buildings and construction has now become the symbol of economic prosperity
and technological advancement, concerns for the escalation of materials and construction
cost has also grown. Further to that, building owners and developers are becoming aware
of social interest in going green which is being practiced by many upcoming developments.
As for that, to achieve sustainability, this event will examine the conceptual and technology
for future development in building integrated strategies. It will provide insights to many
building owners and developers of new and existing buildings in achieving green initiatives,
energy efficiency and retro-commissioning to test and identify operating problems with
existing facilities and systems.
