Which types of structural framing systems and materials are most commonly used in the US for residences? For office buildings?
What factors determine why these are the most used materials?
I think the most used resources are definitely wood because its available but ultimately it would be steel for offices because it can withstand the rough and tough of the city.
Why do different teams of designers and subcontractors link and share their models during the design process?
What are the advantages of linking models?
Are there any disadvantages to linking models?
How do you think design coordination was done before we started using digital models?
What advantages does doing this coordination digitally have over previous methods?
I think it was mostly done on the site itself, which is very problematic in many ways because it can leave a lot of room for error. It makes it very hard on the actual builders.
What strategies can design teams use to find and avoid clashes prior to the start of construction?
What can be done besides sharing the models digitally?
They can have constant communication so there is little to no error when it comes to the start of construction.
At what point in the project development process should design coordination start?
Is it ever too early?
