Supply Chain Management with BIM 360

As an innovator in improving construction processes, Skanska was an early adopter of BIM 360 Field software. Building on Skanska’s experience, the presenters will review a large project that used BIM 360 Field to augment information flow and quality control, and improve project delivery to the client. BIM 360 Field enabled full sharing of supply chain information across fabrication and jobsite to ensure a successful quality project for the client. This 1,550-spot parking garage was located in a tight urban locale and consisted of 1,486 precast concrete members. Using BIM 360 Field equipment and checklist modules, precast members were traced from fabrication, transportation, and installation. In using BIM 360 Field, the project and subcontractor team reduced the manual effort involved in collecting quality and logistics data. The presenters will also cover lessons learned, including the need for transparency, barcoding challenges, and ongoing user support.
