Potential
 Recommendation
EM/CM/QM must be fully engaged in all
contract processes. This must be
communicated to both PM and contract
personnel.

All MOM, formal agreements, delivery

schedule must always be adhered.

The PM/OM should institute a quality

assessment on the capability of BAM Infra
during Pre-award then perform post-award
monitoring with BAM Infra to ensure that
they deliver what they promise during
contract negotiation.

BAM Deco should have review the

capability of BAM Infra in handling multi
information coming from trade IFC
drawings. No people no go!

BAM Deco not to engage a service

company that is not aligned with the BIM
interface platform to avoid double work.
The PM must have an approval process for
any proposed scope changes and
communicate this process to all
stakeholders.

Always plan quality standards and

allowances into the project plan. Always
listen to the End-user rather than horse
riding on Policy. This helps, disruption,
avoid delays and cost overruns.

BAM Deco have presented the appropriate

cope and scale during RFQ stage, however
BAM Infra disregard and establish its own
policy.

BAM Deco should have not engaged such

service provider does not listen to end-
user.

Always consider external impacts on the

project cost and schedule. This must be
continuous throughout the project
lifecycle.

Overall it is more disappointments than benefits.

Almost all drawings we worked with on site were drawings with handwritten
comments. I think we have missed the point if we need to work with scanned
drawings with handwritten comments…
Positive point, at least we have tried if some synergy would be possible.
Very sadly they let us down when we needed support with proper drawings the
most.

Initial work sequence discussed was not incorporated in the cutting and bending lists
of the tiebeams. Only long lengths…
Drawings don’t have elevations and cross references to check dimensions.
BIM plus was not usable because of duration loading model. Also not user friendly
for taking measurements
Overlaps / splicing is not clearly mentioned in the drawings.
Pour breaks are not mentioned in the drawings.
From supervisors point of view the drawings were not logically setup. A lot of looking
for the correct data / sections (if it was even there).
By thinking to squeeze a lot of info on one page does not benefit the purpose of why
the shopdrawings are made.
When making shopdrawings it is not about the quantity of shopdrawings….

BAM Infra drawing is not readable and create a lot of confusion on site, supervisor
always ask QA/QC to interpret the drawing.

There is always mistake on the BBS which needed to be adjusted on site as per actual
condition.

Issue in integrating model created in ALLPLAN to REVIT and Navisworks (Transferability)

.IFC Problem from Allplan. Some ATTRIBUTES (Properties and instance properties) are
not existing in REVIT.

tural Engineer

During tender phase BAM Infra claims BIM Modelling is ready and set up. When
construction phase begins, BAM Infra proposes to extend the delivery schedule to
preparing the model.
BAM Infra claims that All Plan Modeling is easy to use for rebar checking. But after all
rebar in Basement 2 has been uploaded, modeling is no longer accessible due to
heavy data. BAM Decorient must suffer to check all BBS drawing by pdf print.

All the comment during coordination phase with client are interpreted by BAM Infra
as an additional task with potential charge rather than service to help end user.

BAM Infra demanding 1 Lead Engineer to stay for 8hrs/5days in the BAM Infra office.
The Engineer’s absence was claimed by BAM Infra as an excuse for the delay.
Engineer task is only to solve 2-3 small problems per day that can be solved by video
calls.

For BBS drawing, section and cutting list disordered, then supervisor and foreman
needed time to read and sometime discuss with engineer to get same perception.

Full of information on one page drawing, but required detail not showed / not clear
e.g. lap splice length, position of rebar, dimension etc.
Summary of rebar only showed for all diameter, not every diameter, then Engineer or
supervisor, who was needed rebar summary should be manually calculated and took
time.

The drawing that beam drawing that they submit are confusing.
BBS font are too small.
They lack in dimension for splice length notation.

BAM Infra submit drawing partially, it makes the submission of revised drawings not
in good sequence. Would be better if the 2nd submission is in line with the 1st
submission.
The size of font is too small and unreadable. It makes double work for BAM to re-
print in bigger size and increase the total copies to make.
BAM infra always transmits drawings using transmittal, which is good practice.
