Design Model is an object-based 3D model generated by the Design Team (individually or as a group) for the purposes of design analysis, Clash Detection and documentation.
Design Model. A 3-D digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility, or the components or systems thereof, that encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships and quantities and properties of building components and systems and that are developed during the preconstruction (Design) phase of the Project. Reference sections 1.3.3.1 and 2.5.1.1.4.
Design Model. The design Model is to be made available in the ACC for the Queen's University’s analysis and audit at all major project milestones. The Prime Consultant will regularly interface with the architect. The model will be uploaded and submitted to Queen’s University by using the ACC platform at milestones and specific intervals. The model is to be coordinated with all major disciplines as defined in this document. The model must be used as an analytical tool to investigate architectural solutions while exploring elements of the design. It should assist in the functional program development and validate with regards to space distribution and functionality. It should facilitate investigations of buildings and energy performance while providing the process for building systems integration. The BIM model should assist the team with sustainable and green strategies. Material and methods analysis should be an integral process and incorporated into the BIM and related processes. The Design model is to be made available to inform and assist the construction process.
