Joshua Progar's BIM/IPD Thesis Reflection |
| |
The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)/ Building Information Modeling (BIM) thesis was a highly valuable experience in moving forward in my professional engineering career. This innovative thesis process allowed for fully collaborative design process in an ideal atmosphere with real-world issues and real-world constraints. Through close collaborative design with my teammates, I was able to understand, in-depth, multi-disciplinary systems and their overall performance constraints. This information along with constraints that limited my specific design were invaluable for my personal growth.
The importance of clear communication within the team atmosphere was quickly realized by HPR Integrated Design. I learned that delivering a high quality design product to the client cannot be done by working in disciplinary "silos" rather information exchange must become a seamless interaction within the design team. Effective, concise information exchange allowed for quicker design processes and eliminated rework both for the overall team and for my specific depth.
Overall, the BIM/IPD Thesis was extremely successful and beneficial to my engineering career. Using this course as a stepping stone, my teammates and I hope to take experience from this relatively new delivery method to the building industry to continue to move towards a full collaborative design and construction process. Earlier collaboration not only enhances the overall design but allows for a more cost effective and shorter construction schedule ultimately benefiting the client.
I would like to thank those who have helped me get through this very challenging portion of my academic career. I would like to thank my team, HPR Integrated Design, my peers, faculty and technical advisors, the entire design and construction team, and any others that I missed specifically that helped HPR Integrated Design with our senior thesis. |

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It
contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing
central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between
student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to
the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural
Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here. |

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of this BIM/IPD group. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design. |
