5D Building Modeling Seminar

JT Burk will be conducting a Seminar titled “5D Building Modeling – Space, Time, and Resources” from 4:00 – 5:30pm on November 8, 2005 and includes AIA Learning Units. This Seminar is part of the Chicago Architecture Conference and Product Show in Oakbrook Terrace Illinois on November 8. . The Product Show is from 9:30am until 4:00pm. CADeshack along with MacSpecialist will have a booth (number B30) which is located in the front of the exhibit hall as you enter from the registration desk. The Product Show is free and there is a nominal fee for the Seminars.More information for the show and seminar is available at the following website:

What is 5D CAD

5D CAD combines the 1D of program data, the 2D of a design based upon the program requirements, the 3D of a building model with an integrated database of information about the building (commonly known as BIM - Building Information Model or a Virtual Building), the 4D of time scheduling or sequencing of construction, and the 5D of cost and resources to complete the construction of a building. Output from this process can also be used after construction for facility management to use the information over the entire life cycle of a building.

Why use the 5D CAD Process? The following items are a few points to consider;

• Data integration keeps everything up to date
• Graphical interface allows for understanding designs & process
• Information integration reduces risks
• Quickly analyze alternatives of design and implications
• Data tracking from programming to punch list
• Integrated process keeps the owner in control
• Architecture, Engineering, and Construction processes combined into a single environment
