Kent Homes is a home manufacturer dedicated to building well-crafted, energy-efficient homes and buildings.x000D
Utilizing building information modelling (BIM) technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness ofx000D
building design and production planning, Kent Homes confronts several challenges. The primary objective ofx000D
the proposed research is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of BIM for building manufacturing and tox000D
minimize construction material waste by developing new BIM tools for specialist trades:x000D
AUTOMATING 3D MODELLING OF ELECTRICAL WIRING INTO BIM MODELS: This task willx000D
automate the electrical wiring modelling within a 3D environment under the constraints of the Canadianx000D
Electrical Code. This wiring modelling add-on will provide input data for the wiring material wastex000D
minimization add-on.x000D
AUTOMATING INFORMATION RETRIEVAL FROM BIM MODELS FOR CARPENTER TRADES: Thex000D
objective here is to automate the information extraction process by developing a new BIM tool. This taskx000D
involves data identification, data mapping, and Revit add-on development. The purpose of the datax000D
identification is to identify the information needed by carpenter trades for moulding doors and windows.x000D
MINIMIZING MATERIAL WASTE FOR SPECIALIST TRADES: This task will explore avenues for materialx000D
waste minimization based on BIM technology, focusing on the moulding material for carpenter trades andx000D
electrical wiring material for electrical trades. An algorithm will be further integrated with the BIM model inx000D
order to automate the generation of the optimized material cutting plan.x000D
Successful implementation of the proposed research will increase the competitiveness of Canadian builders inx000D
the construction market. Modules can be built through a more efficient and cost-effective engineering methodx000D
that can deliver market requirements for increased construction speed, green buildings, reduced material waste,x000D
improved quality, and rapid return on investment.
