Questions:

1. The key to reducing risk and building
trust in a BIM project is:
a. Collaboration, integration, and communication
b. A good lawyer
c. Software
d. A detailed schedule
2. The most important element of BIM
on which to focus is:
a. The software
b. The process
c. The model
d. The budget
3. With BIM, the project is designed
and virtually constructed up front in the design phase, which
allows construction to proceed more quickly in the field,
reducing overall cost of a project and enabling the building
to begin operation sooner.
a. True
b. False
4. The true value of BIM is realized:
a. During pre-planning
b. Upstream earlier in the design phases
c. Downstream in the design and construction process
d. After the project is completed
5. A Building Information Model:
a. A complete 3-D digital representation of a building system
or subsystem
b. In most cases can replace the term ‘construction documents’
as it relates to building construction.
c. May include other BIMs.
d. All of the above
6. Which of the following is not a
benefit of BIM for the architect:
a. BIM gives the architect enhanced influence over the entire
life of the project.
b. BIM enables the architect to provide a better solution
to the client.
c. BIM reduces the architect’s risk and possibility of
litigation.
d. BIM reduces the architect’s work load and responsibility.
7. Evidence from projects constructed
utilizing a BIM methodology indicates that it is possible
to deliver completed projects to clients that are completed
faster, are less expensive, of higher quality, and with increased
project safety and reduced exposure to risk and litigation.
a. True
b. False
8. Interoperability may be defined
as:
a. Use of software systems that are able to communicate and
exchange data and information through a neutral file format.
b. A practice employed to evaluate the operational impacts
of BIM on a firm’s bottom line
c. A labor-saving construction technique
d. The cross-training of staff on CAD and BIM equipment
9. Experts agree that the best way
to start working in BIM is to:
a. Wait until the firm has transitioned its software
b. Thoroughly train staff in the use of BIM tools before starting
a project
c. Select a project and “just do it”
d. Begin working in BIM only after the industry as a whole
has transitioned
10. The transition to BIM is not without
its hurdles and requires some reallocation of:
