34 TAB J - PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES Having built for numerous municipalities in South Florida, and having completed over 350 k-12 projects, numerous Joint-Use Facilities & countless community centers, Pirtle Construction understands the scope of work better than anyone else and is committed to perform the work in a timely manner. The following reasons are why Pirtle Construction is your best choice for Construction Manager on your new Government Center Annex: DESIGN REVIEW, VALUE ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTABILITY ANALYSIS BIM is used throughout all phases of construction at Pirtle Construction. The BIM process begins by creating a computer model of the building that shows its physical and functional characteristics before work begins. Rather than relying on traditional 2D drawings and blueprints, we use digital engineering technology by designing a virtual representation of the structure with advanced 3D modeling software. This extra dimension gives us a constructability preview in how all elements fit together while minimizing the need to rework portions of the job, should unforeseen obstacles arise. All aspects of the new building are included in BIM, right down to office furniture, artwork, lighting systems and other details. In some of our health care projects, BIM was used to review natural lighting effects in the design to maximize patient comfort. In addition, the model can be utilized to review accessibility, equipment and furniture placement. BIM is used to reduce construction cost and time as it keeps every trade on schedule to complete the structure as planned. It produces renderings, time sequence, and “fly-through” for user groups, as a guide for practical applications. Furthermore, it simulates access through the structure for occupants – ensuring that the layout, counter line-of-site and safety factors are all user-friendly. Our BIM processes create accurate built drawings from the coordination process. Clash detection allows for the effective identification and reporting of interferences in a 3D project model. Seeing these conflicts ahead of time and fixing them helps eliminate unforeseen conditions that may be critical once the project is underway. The model can also serve as an excellent record and inventory-keeping mechanism for each aspect of the building. With COBie, operations and maintenance personnel will be able to reference installation dates, manufacturer names and contact information, issue commissioning reports and see the types of equipment deployed as well as diagrams of mechanical systems and records of all changes made over time. The operations team will use this information to efficiently manage the life cycle of the building, when repairing and replacing components and when scheduling maintenance routines. % PROJECTSof our current
