Building Lifecycle BIM Integrated Project Delivery Colocation

A critical mind helps us find intelligent and creative solutions to complex building problems.

Building Lifecycle BIM Integrated Project Delivery Colocation

We use BIM to optimize the design, compress

the schedule, and maximize the useful life of

a building.

With an unprecedented 5+ years of

experience in Integrated Project Delivery

(IPD), we understand the challenges and

rewards of litigation-free construction.

Tocci uses shared work environments where

face-to-face communication expedites

decisions and deliverables.


Tocci has always believed that technology could smooth out many of the rough edges encountered in construction, and was willing to go out on a limb

to build proficiency in modeling. We were earlier adopters of VDC and continue to lead the construction industry today. Our expertise enables owners to

capture the value of BIM throughout the full project lifecycle.

Building Lifecycle BIM

The components in a Building Information Model

(BIM) include geometry and data. The geometry

and information create a virtual database that

enables the team to visualize and optimize the

project during design. Seeing the components

in the model helps all stakeholders envision the

building. The model helps the team analyze

building performance, sustainability, and cost.

By truly understanding the design, owners are

confident with their decisions and Tocci can better

preserve the vision of our design partners.

The BIM transitions from design to construction

to create tremendous efficiency on the jobsite.

Tocci plans a project component by component

to eliminate material waste and lost time. Since

the project is fully coordinated during the design

phase, Tocci uses the model work to prefabricate

and componentize the building. We’ve integrated

BIM into our safety, quality control, and

communication programs. It might be cliché, but

Tocci uses BIM to reliably deliver the program you

need on time and on budget.

Design Construction

Rendering of a BIM depicts

coordination of highly detailed and

complex mechanical systems.

After construction, the model continues to be a

valuable digital asset. As a turnover package, the

model is a high quality database that expedites

operational readiness. Accurate and detailed

data can be available as soon as a building is

occupied, eliminating the traditional need for

months of manual data entry. Over time, facility

teams can use the model to explore the impact of

renovations and upgrades, optimize preventative

maintenance, and respond far more efficiently

to the demands of rapidly changing procedures,

equipment, and user preferences.

Facilities Management

The model is integrated

with controls systems,

to visualize and optimize

energy use.


Integrated Project Delivery

In 2008, Tocci built the first IPD project in the

Northeast; since then we’ve continued to develop

IPD expertise because we believe it is the best way

to optimize projects. IPD is a new contract form

and process that empowers all parties to work

together for the benefit of the project. Success is

directly tied to the performance of other project

participants through shared risk and reward.

A key feature of IPD is early and ongoing

collaboration by everyone on the extended design

team – both in person and digitally.

Although members work together collaboratively,

each one is an independent contractor,

individually responsible for directing and

managing their own work.

Integrated Project Delivery replaces bitter disputes

with unity of purpose. Combining one contract

that promises collaboration and zero litigation

with technology that facilitates coordination,

there are huge rewards. We are free to do our

job to the best of our ability, choose high quality

subcontractors, enhance document coordination,

lower risk, reduce RFIs, and run a leaner project.

Colocation

Even with today’s technology, nothing beats face-to-face conversation. People in the same room communicate more effectively. Tocci uses colocation, regardless

of contract form, to foster cohesion. By colocating, the project team shares expertise to make key decisions and find the best solutions. Colocation reduces project

schedule, enables design, and optimizes cost.


Alexandria Center at Kendall Square is a $500 million, 1.73 million-square-foot, 11-acre, world-class science and technology campus located in the heart of

Cambridge, MA. Tocci managed the team selection, design, and construction of the campus, using our unique BIM-enabled process. Award-winning architects

Elkus | Manfredi Associates, Payette Architects, and Spagnolo Gisness & Associates are designing the primary life science buildings to create a distinctive,

collaborative environment that will operate at the forefront of sustainability. Constructech Magazine awarded the 225 Binney Street team with the 2012 Vision Gold

Award for successfully applying advanced technologies and improving the building process as program manager.

Tocci’s Process Transformation empowers owners

to transform their way of designing and building

from old-school to today. Whether you’re adopting

BIM on a single project, multiple projects, or as an

organization, BIM is a complex undertaking; it’s

10% technology, 90% sociology. Our approach

addresses both the technology and the sociology

of BIM.

Tocci provides services to clients to transform

project delivery on specific projects or across

organizations. Our collaborative approach enables

teams and organizations to learn about BIM as

they implement.

Tocci offers Program Management, a complex

and overarching service for projects. As Program

Manager, we become an extension of our clients

to see that their vision is faithfully implemented.

Tocci’s Program Management service includes

various facets of planning and managing,

including selecting the design team, using and

sharing the BIM, and controlling costs.

Program Management Process Transformation

Tocci facilitates colocation for Alexandria


We appreciate the accolades from our LEED® AP and

LEED® Certified projects (including a LEED® CI Platinum

certified), but Tocci values sustainability beyond the

certifications. We use our BIM capabilities and lean

mindset to reduce waste and limit carbon footprints.

The core lean mindset of “do better today than yesterday”

focuses efforts on continuous improvement. Tocci’s

Planning Committee supports teams with continuous

improvement frameworks and training.

Our projects frequently use lean strategies including

system prefabrication (above) and modular construction

(opposite page). BIM enables us to precoordinate and

fabricate systems, reducing labor and material waste.

residential units with a fitness area, lounge, bicycle storage and onsite leasing office. Tocci delivered model units and common spaces two months before the contract

completion date, facilitating early leasing. Harmon Cove’s desirable location combined with early leasing led to the building being 50% leased as the last units

were delivered to the owners. In May of 2012, Tocci Building Companies was a platinum sponsor of the Harmon Meadow Run for the Warriors® 5k race held in

Secaucus, NJ. Over $54,000 was raised at the Harmon Meadow event. In 2013, the USGBC recognized Harmon Cove as LEED® for Homes Silver.


Industry Involvement

Tocci enriches the building community by founding

industry initiatives such as the BIMForum while partnering

with trade organizations such as the Association of

General Contractors (AGC), where CEO John Tocci acted

as president of the Massachusetts chapter for two terms.

Our reputation for early adoption of Virtual Design and

Construction (VDC) technologies and methodologies has

garnered interest from fellow building professionals in

the Far East, where an official delegation from China met

with Tocci to discuss BIM implementation strategies.

We share lessons learned with future generations of

designers and builders through speaking engagements at

local institutions such as Harvard’s Graduate School of

Design, Yale’s School of Architecture, and MIT’s School of

Architecture and Planning.
