INTRODUCTION
Due to the exploratory and iterative nature of the design, changes in the design are usually
inevitable. This implies that the design’s content is never static but rather subject to changes
continually even after the start of the construction exercise. This is applicable particularly for the
case of the fast-track projects. There is usually generation of the unanticipated side effects on the
cost of the project, quality, schedule and quality. Such kinds of the changes are likely to lead to
the delay of the project, defects and cost overruns and to some extreme cases failure of the
project (García et al.2014).
The practical effects of such kind of changes are usually overlooked or have their revelations
later when necessary adjustments are being made or when alternative solutions are being
generated. The present tools as well as methods which are used for the design and planning assist
in the provision of limited support as for the case of the evaluation of the consequences of the
specific change before the design and project plan are updated fully. The timely identification as
well as analysis can therefore be regarded as being critical as far as the delivery and successful
construction of the project is concerned (Costa et al.2015).
In this particular field, the Building Information Modelling has been found or envisioned to play
a major role in the identification of such changes and their impacts on the project. BIM is
therefore becoming very prevalent in the industry of the construction. In this particular paper,
there is description of a conceptual approach which can be used in the representation,
coordination and tracking the changes in the design in the context of multi-disciplinary BIM
environment which was collaborative. This particular approach was developed through analysis

of the changes in the design as well as changes in the practices in the management on a complex,
large fast-track project.
METHODOLOGY
BIM IN CONSTRUCTION
PDF Title sheet of AutoCAD Bungalow drawings
 All the drawings of the Bungalow have been adequately shared as per the client’s
requirements.
Modification of the site plan to meet the new development
 The site plan has been properly modified and it was through this modification that new
development was possible.
THE MODEL
External Walls correctly constructed within the model
The external walls have been constricted to the required standards. All the component
parts have been included.
Internal walls correctly constructed within the model
The internal walls have been constricted to the required standards. All the component parts have
been included.
There was addition of Doors for ease access into the building with their correct sizes

 The room’s accessibility has been properly enhanced. This is evident with the present of
enough doors as per the design diagrams. The sizes of the doors are standard as per the
dimensions.
The level of opening of windows is adequate and provides enough light into the room:
 The locational position of the windows potentially allowed more light to get into the
room. This has also been favoured by the orientation of the design.
Adequate higher floors accessibility is secured and provided with barriers around voids
 This has been enhanced by the provision of the stairs which are spacious and designed to
standards.
Adequate ceiling amount as well as added lighting sources into each room:
 From the presented model, there is adequate light source for each and every room. This
was considered as the best way to enhance movement and operations in these rooms.
Adequate amount of finishes and furnishes added to the model including floor and wall
materials:
 The design indicates presence of adequate or sufficient finishing which are appealing to
the client. This has been accompanied with very efficient furnishes.
Proper labels of rooms, addition of dimensions and tiles given to every floor:
 All the dimensioning and labeling has been done in relation to the design standards.
ELEVATIONS AND SECTIONS AND DETAILS

There is correct completion of all elevations and can be viewed easily
 The presented elevations were actually correct and could be viewed easily.
There is creation of more creation of sections
Correction in addition of roof
 The pitching of the roof as per the presented design was correctly done. However this
could be subject to modification depending on the wind conditions of the site. Provided
information in regard to the design were just sufficient to satisfy the needs of the client.
BIM
Object Details are added are added to the model:

 The secondary objects which add aesthetic value to the project or model were provided.
These components do not have any structural relationship with the model or the design.
Addition of cost data
 The client has been roughly introduced to the cost of the project design through the
available cost addition data.
PDFs and LAYOUTS
Creation of plans with layouts, elevations and at least 2 sections
 Plans of layout, elevations with proper sections have been provided.
Submission of file model:
 All the files of the models have been provided
Submission of PDF images
 All relevant images have been provided
IMAGES AND OVERALL DESIGN
Submission of at least 4 images involving 2 exterior and 2interior
 Both interior and exterior images have been provided in the submitted files in more than
4 numbers.
Design in overall

In the case of the construction parts of the import into the model product, there was definition of
the dependent and independent parts. The independent parts of the construction had their
existence without any reference to other parts. In this particular design, doors or windows
construction parts are the dependent parts. They have been defined by having reference to the
construction parts of a wall. The plan of the ground floor basically implies or provides the
required information about the parts of the wall besides a door part or a window.
In the cases of the import into a product model, the door parts are merged to one independent
part of the wall or present at both sides of the window. If there would be need of additional
information about the height between the heights of the window parapets and floors or in the
case of the door lintels, then the definition must be done generally for the whole building. In this
particular design work, there was explicit specification of the standard heights for the relevant
parts of the construction. This can be illustrated as shown.

Relocation of fire-rated walls
This particular section laid a lot of emphasis on the object-oriented properties of the changes in
the design. As a result of the requirements of architecture, the initial arrangement of two-hour
fire rated walls will be changed slightly.
Discussion
The layout procedure of the building was not actually idealized and therefore did not take into
account the myriad of the client-specific and site specific factors which are usually considered by
the architects. Architectural practice in the real world, the design of the layout is affected by
views from the site, local climate as well as other considerations of the environment. The
personality of the client also plays major role. In cases where the client has collections for
painting which is large, a proper design must therefore create enough wall space.
As a result of the significant regularity between the floors, there would be no need to have
optimization of the plans of the floor (Brewer et al.2015). There may several ways of extension
of the used approach. One such change would be addition of non-rectilinear segments of walls.
This will go hand in hand with variation in the elevation of the floor as well as height of the
ceiling. A proper optimization which would be considered to be explicit in the case of the
building exterior could allow the synthesis of the building that possesses cohesive interiors and
specific appearance of the façade. Another interesting possibility would be integration of the
structural stability. Such kind of the development will enhance further the fidelity of the
buildings which have been generated by the computer.

Every part of the wall construction will be split into parts of four points in the case of the
expansion of the computer rooms or offices. The construction parts of windows and doors
identification will require the use of the geometric criteria as well as topological approach.
CONCLUSION
In this particular research work, there was examination of changes in the design changes in the
context of the design in the context of multi-disciplinary BIM environment which was
collaborative. During the process, there was identification of the capability of the Revit with
regard to the required changes in the design itself (Adewunmi 2014). In order to have facilitation
of the computer support for the reorganization or expansion of the building in existence, the gap
between the product model and paper-based drawing has to be closed.
