COE/ARMY needs
• Better, faster, cheaper, greener• Especially over facility life-cycle• Need a consistent way to make decisions• Need to create less adversarial contracting vehicles
This is about people working together to create better value.It is not about technology - it is about project teams executing better by using the right tools

US Army Corpsof Engineers®
Facility Composer – Part of the SolutionFacility planning tool that accelerates the development and management of:• the project and building program• facility standard guidance• preliminary layouts based on program and facility standard guidance• standard data model for working with other AEC, cost estimating, and Building Information Model (BIM) applications•Complements design/build RFP initiative
Proposed automated interface via IFC-BIM for populating selected fields/tabs in the DD1391 Form
PlanningComposer
LayoutComposer
IFC-BIM Early Programming and Design ‘View’
8 Update 6 May 2006
US Army Corpsof Engineers®
Benefits• Rapidly generate standard facility requirements
and programmatic parametric cost estimates• Improve speed and quality of DD 1391
generation• Ensures propagation of facility requirements
standards, and best practices• Improve synchronization of requirements with
contractors (enabling e-gov)• Seamless electronic handoff of requirements
Building Information Model to contractors
9 Update 6 May 2006
US Army Corpsof Engineers®
Requirements Composer (RC)
• Provides Center of Standardization (COS) the capability to rapidly update and distribute facility standards guidance (including energy, green…)
• Manages facility requirements and criteria libraries in a computable format
• Links building program information with facility requirements and criteria
• Provides input file to Planning Composer

Requirements Composer
11 Update 6 May 2006
US Army Corpsof Engineers®
Planning Composer (PC)• Supports the development of project and building program• Supports the capture of project requirements during
planning charrette• Develop and report planned functional areas• Exports to IFC-BIM to PACES Cost Estimating software• Produces design analysis report for use in DD1391
development• Provides early design and planning information to Layout
Composer• Provides early design and planning information to
Layout Composer (LC)• Supports the functional and space layout of a
facility, meeting project/building program goals• Supports multiple view representations for design
analysis (2D layouts, color by function, 3D mass modeling, bubble diagramming…)
• Tracks layout solutions against criteria and requirements
• Exports to IFC-BIM to PACES Cost Estimating software
• Generates IFC-BIM model for use in downstream AEC BIM applications

Automated PACES Interface
• Supports IFC-BIM import file from PC and LC• IFC-BIM interface eliminates manual entry of facility information
in PACES, reducing time spent to create cost estimate

Initiating the IFC Model
Discipline tabs, with facility criteria and requirements, change according to level chosen on project hierarchy tree.
19 Update 6 May 2006
US Army Corpsof Engineers®
Initiating the IFC Model
Example: Construction Type requirement will be exported to the IFC as an IfcPropertySet called “Construction Type” which has properties of “Wall Construction” and “Wall Rating”.

Reusable Standard ComponentsUsing BIM to Reduce Redesign of Common Design Elements
IFC Repository/Model Server
ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG)
Example 1: Reuse of assessable restroom IFC model with embedded accessibility criteria and requirements
• U.S. Coast Guard – mission-driven requirements called for IFC-BIM– transferring all existing facility design to IFC-based BIM models
• General Services Administration– completed many pilot studies/projects– requiring IFC-based BIM for initial (15%) design submittals for 2006
projects• NASA
– SpecsIntact and the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications oriented to support IFCXML (then tracked in COE ProjNet)
• Smithsonian – Native American Indian Museum
