Busan Opera House Construction ... Verification of Safety and Feasibility of Irregular Facade

3 Construction Methods (Smart Node, Twist, Folding) BIM Detailed Design - Verification Process Underway

Physical Models to be Installed On-site in August-September, Final Deliverables to be Verified by Construction Method Verification and Advisory

The Busan City Construction Headquarters is currently promoting the detailed design of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) related to the facade of the Busan Opera House and the production of a physical model on site.

To ensure fairness and objectivity in project promotion, the headquarters has signed direct contracts with each proposer: ▲Smart Node method 'Withworks proposal' ▲Twist method 'Original designer Ilshin Design and others' ▲Folding method 'HJ Heavy Industries proposal.'

This is the result of several meetings and opinion coordination with the three companies and the construction project management team, and it is expected to become a driving force for smooth project promotion once the final construction method is confirmed. The cost will be paid only when the task is recognized as completed after the delivery of the deliverables.

Additionally, starting from July, the headquarters plans to clarify legal responsibility limits and secure effectiveness by operating a committee for method verification led by experts in irregular forms until design changes and construction completion, providing technical advice and active on-site support.

The specific schedule includes ▲receiving physical model production drawings and coordinates from the promoters of each method in July ▲verifying the physical model installed on site in August and ▲verifying the final deliverables delivered in September through the method verification and advisory committee ▲and from October to November, completing administrative procedures such as value engineering (VE) and construction technology review, followed by final method confirmation and design changes.

A Construction Headquarters official said, “The project promotion through this consensus will be a catalyst for successfully completing the Busan Opera House construction,” adding, “We will concentrate administrative power and capabilities to make the Busan Opera House a landmark in Northeast Asia.”
