CCM Construction Technology and BIM Questions and Answers Flashcards

What does 5D BIM add to the model beyond 4D BIM?

Answer: Cost and quantity information linked to model elements and schedule

5D BIM adds cost and quantity data to the 3D model and 4D schedule, enabling real-time cost tracking as design and construction progress.

What technology allows field workers to overlay BIM model data onto physical construction conditions using a mobile device?

Answer: Augmented Reality (AR) integrated with BIM

AR technology overlays BIM model information onto the real-world construction environment through mobile devices or wearable headsets, improving field coordination.

What is a digital twin in construction and facility management?

Answer: A real-time digital replica of a physical asset continuously updated with live operational data

A digital twin is a real-time digital replica of a physical structure continuously updated with sensor data, enabling ongoing performance monitoring and predictive maintenance.

What is the primary construction use of drones (UAVs) on large projects?

Answer: Aerial site surveying, progress monitoring, and inspection from above

Drones provide rapid aerial surveying, photogrammetric progress documentation, and inspection of areas difficult or dangerous for workers to access.

What is prefabrication in modern construction delivery?

Answer: Manufacturing building components in a controlled off-site facility for assembly at the project site

Prefabrication manufactures structural, MEP, or finish components in a controlled factory environment, improving quality and schedule predictability when delivered to the job site.

Which scheduling software is the industry standard for large, complex construction projects in the US?

Answer: Oracle Primavera P6

Oracle Primavera P6 is the industry-standard CPM scheduling software for managing large, complex construction projects and program portfolios.
