BCPM0023: Digital Design and Construction
1. Introduction:
This document includes important information regarding your summative assessment.
Please read this document in full and refer to it while preparing your assignment.
This coursework has 2 parts, with a weighting of:
- Individual Coursework – Part A 40% of the final mark.
- Individual Coursework – Part B 60% of the final mark.
Both parts will be marked on a of 100.
Please note that this is an INDIVIDUAL coursework.
2. Assessment Brief:
This involves demonstrating your understanding of the use of Autodesk Navisworks software. You will be presented with a Federated BIM Model (Autodesk Revit) of a building, which will be used to complete your assignment. You are required to submit 7 pages of portfolio and a recorded video presentation demonstrating your understanding of key aspects of using the Navisworks software.
The formative assessment is divided in two parts:
Part A: Video Recorded Presentation:
Using a video recording (4-7 minutes), demonstrate evidence of the development of your submission. You will have to submit the Navisworks model too, as proof of authenticity.
Part B: Portfolio (7 pages) - Demonstrate two out of the three following topics learnt during the practical sessions using a 7 pages Portfolio:
1. Clash Detection of a Federated BIM Model using Navisworks: You are expected to identify clashes in the model and generate reports appropriate for dissemination to a project team.
2. 4D Planning using Autodesk Navisworks (Timeliner): Demonstrate use of Timeline for integrating Gannt Chart/ construction programmes into BIM.
3. Navigation and Management of BIM Models using Navisworks: Demonstrate your understanding of any aspects of Navisworks usage for achieving effective communication with a project stakeholder of your choice (e.g. client, designers, construction teams, quantity surveyors etc). Regardless of the two topics you will choose, you have to the develop appropriate documentation/commentary and related the contents of the theoretical session to the workflows implemented in Navisworks. You can use max. 1,500 words.
3. Use of AI:
The following category of AI can/cannot be used:
Category 1 – AI cannot be used.
Category 2 – AI tools can be used in an assistive role.
Category 3 – AI has an integral role.
For examples of each category please go to Using AI tools in assessment
Category 2 - Students are permitted to use AI tools for specific defined processes to support the development of specific skills as required by the assessment, such as data analysis, transcription, and translation, generating insights, giving feedback on content, or proofreading content.
Students must acknowledge where they have used AI within their coursework.
