Untitled - UF-Facilities Planning & Construction - University of Florida

University of Florida BIM Guidelines and Standards
All design modeling will be performed utilizing Autodesk "Revit" software platforms
(Architecture, Structure, MEP), versions 2011 or later. The design team shall collectively
coordinate platform versioning for compatibility purposes during the design process. Any
deviations shall require approval from the Owner.
At each design phase, the model maturity shall be developed to the extent that it will
generate the drawing document deliverables with the content, level of detail, and format as
required by the UF Design Services & Commissioning Guide and shall be consistent with
level of development as described by phase below. The resulting output, depicted in
traditional two-dimensional drawing format with drawing sheets organized by discipline,
dimensioned and detailed, shall serve as validation of the accuracy and completeness
contained within the building information model(s).
In general, the Design Team shall follow the UF Design Services & Commissioning Guide
for each design phase, however, the Design Team shall not be required to create additional
drawings, models, etc. that may be indicated in these guidelines when deemed unnecessary
for construction purposes, or to the BIM Model.
It is understood that not all project designs will require the same phases and durations.
Adjustments to the model(s) level of development and phase durations will be agreed upon
as necessary by the project team (for example; a small minor project may only require a
50% and 100%CD review, whereas a larger scale minor project may require conceptual,
advanced Schematic, design development, 60% CD, and 100% CD review phases).
1.9.3.3. Area Calculations - UF Design Services Guide Requirements
1.9.3.3.1. Purpose and Scope
For UF minor projects resulting in new buildings, additions to existing, otherwise the
creation of new square footage, at the end of each design phase, the Design Professional
shall calculate the area of the project using the following method and compare this
information to the owner’s requirements as outlined in a space summary form or Facilities
Program template document. Area calculations may be obtained utilizing Autodesk Revit
Software;
1. Building Gross Square Feet: Determine the total building gross square feet by adding
the sum of the floor areas of the building included within the outside faces of exterior
walls for all stories, or areas that have floor surfaces. Gross area should be computed
by measuring from the outside face of exterior walls, disregarding cornices, pilasters,
buttresses, etc., which extend beyond the wall face. Gross area should include
basements (except unexcavated portions), attics, garages, enclosed porches, penthouses,
mechanical equipment floors, lobbies, mezzanines, all balconies (inside and outside)
utilized for operational functions, and corridors, provided they are within the outside
face lines of the building. Stairways, elevator shafts, mechanical service shafts, and
ducts are to be counted as gross area on each floor through which the shaft passes.
Exclude open courts and light wells, portions of upper floors eliminated by rooms or
lobbies that rise above single floor height, and non-enclosed covered walkways.
