Keynote Presentation Building a better world with digital collaborationPresenter: David Lod, Chief Executive Officer, VEERUM

Session Summary: Currently 90% of capital projects go over budget resulting in $1.6 trillion waste each year. The fundamental cause of this waste is the inability to identify and resolve issues before they impact the project. From project kickoff to closeout, over 30% of construction data is lost.The project manager of the future will be augmented by an AI-powered capital project advisor that continuously compares projects plans to reality, digitally verifying construction quality and progress. This real-time feedback loop between on-site construction and project management will enable a shift in decision making cycles from monthly to daily. Advancements in drones, laser scanners, sensors, site connectivity and cloud computing have enabled an increase in the frequency, accuracy and completeness of data which can help bring truth to a project. This methodology will result in creating an accurate complete digital record of the project which can be used to unlock project financing, insurance claims, while supporting project audits and continuous improvement initiatives.

Industry Presentation 1 Design-Based Research as a Platform for Interdisciplinary InnovationPresenter: Joshua M Taron, Associate Dean Research + Innovation, University of Calgary School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape

Session Summary: Design-based research has a critical role to play in the innovative transformation of the AEC industry and the cities it is responsible for building. But post-secondary institutions must also understand how to operate differently so they can deliver on their responsibility to facilitate this necessary and meaningful change. Toward this end, a new model for on-demand, industry-engaged, design-based research will be presented that couples industry and community generated project opportunities with post-secondary research capacity. This on-demand model is framed as a uniquely interdisciplinary platform that serves a variety of stakeholders in ways that market-based and traditional research models alone are unable to address. A series of projects coming out of SAPL’s City Building Design Lab will be briefly discussed including a pilot study for BIM-enabled permitting processes, high-performance building envelopes, and the Green Alley Project.

Industry Presentation 2 BIM, Approvals, Robots: Barrier Removal Through Better ApprovalsPresenter: Justin Pockar, Coordinator – Plans Examination Development Approvals and Building Safety Planning & Development, City of Calgary

Session Summary: Approvals is the often forgotten process in building construction; a necessary evil to lawfully construct something. As such, it is often left out of the discussion of technology and design process. It is easy to assume that the approvals process will simply adjust to changes in technology and design methodology; that the barriers to BIM implementation are specific to the execution side - the design and construction professionals.

Drawing on analogies from other industries, this presentation will cover the changes BIM and the Integrated Design Process force on the both design and construction practitioners, and how these affect approving authorities. Technological, practical, and procedural implications will all be discussed, and a model for development presented and discussed as a potential solution.

Industry Presentation 3 Digitizing Horizontal Infrastructure: Leveraging Model Intelligence in Bridge DesignPresenter: Drew Teal, M.Sc., P.Eng, LEED AP, Structural Engineer, Associated Engineering

Session Summary: Employing BIM and 3D modeling techniques in bridge design can be very helpful in understanding and addressing geometric challenges that are unique to transportation structures. By leveraging intelligent modeling tools, the BIM/3D model can become a data rich model that aids in the detailed design process and construction documentation production. This presentation will review examples of using data and modeling techniques for going beyond 3D geometry when modeling bridges and other transportation structures.
