VDC-inspirerat arbetssätt i kommunen

Sammanfattning: Buildings become more complex and society is constantly evolving. More and more specialized operators join the construction industry, which increases the need for effective interaction between them. Focus should be on communication and an intersectoral cooperation must be taken into use. New ways of working together that promotes interaction in order to streamline the construction process should be developed. The municipality plays an important and central role in order to push forward the social development. The aim of the study is to investigate how an VDCinspired approach can develop the municipal process in the urban development process, in order to make the planning process in early stages until the design phase more efficient. To achieve the goal, interviews with employees within the construction company NCC and the municipalities of Norrköping, Linköping and Örebro has been done. Once the empirical data was collected from the interviews it was analyzed together with this thesis theoretical framework. Today, BIM is not used in the municipalities the same extent as NCC. The municipalities do not have the same need for information and coordination of their digital models. The 3D models they work with usually consist of 3D volumes, where volume relationships and correlations are the most important information conveyed. However, it is clear that the municipality work in project teams that can be developed and made more efficient. Today, the municipalities already work in teams, where they benefit from the collective expertise. To implement project studio as a VDC inspired approach may ultimately create a closer collaboration and help reduce communication problems internally. In order for the municipality to work VDC-inspired they must first find out what type of information in a BIM model they consider relevant and interesting. Furthermore, a high level of technical expertise is required among the employees to allow an implementation of VDC. The thesis has investigated a VDC application in the early stages until project design stage. Furthermore, the study was limited to the municipality's urban planning office. Data collection has only occurred through interviews.
