Summary

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Dr. Aslani has been involved with Building Information Modeling since 2001 as a graduate student, and created BIM for Polytechnic Institute of NYU’s campus extension. His extensive knowledge of BIM has been published in several academic journals, and he is currently working on publishing his first book which is a practical guide for the use of BIM in the construction industry. He has been involved with one the most challenging BIM projects in NYC, Atlantic Yards (Frank Gehry’s Design), developing a practical solution to extract information from the 3D model during the pre-construction stage. Dr. Aslani uses his practical and theoretical experiences in BIM when teaching Building Information Modeling Technique in graduate school at Polytechnic Institute of NYU.

Project Control and Risk Analysis

As a Project Management Oversight Contractor (PMOC) for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Dr. Aslani is working on two mega projects: Access (ESA) and (SAS). In this position, he collaborated on the development and implementation of Enterprise Level Project Execution Plan (ELPEP), Schedule Management Pan (SMP), Cost Management Plan (CMP) and Risk Management Plan (RMP) for the FTA’s managing grantee, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Dr. Aslani is currently reporting on the progress of the execution of these plans to the FTA. He has developed and is using a shadow model of the integrated project schedule and cost to illustrate the project's progress for FTA executives. The SMP, CMP and RMP all required Dr. Aslani’s determination as to their readiness for bid.

Dr. Aslani has ten years of experience in construction management project control in a variety of private and public projects. He has developed a dynamic resource constrained-scheduling methodology that allows contractors to allocate their resources considering the limitation of resources. He has published his theoretical and practical knowledge in several academic publications. His experience also includes involvement in risk management for Polytechnic Institute of NYU’s campus extension in 2001. Dr. Aslani currently provides project control and risk analysis services for a number of major transit projects. Dr. Aslani has been teaching a Risk Analysis course at the graduate school of Polytechnic Institute of NYU since 2005, and a Construction Management course to senior level undergraduate students.

Relevant Projects

, Federal Transit Authority, City, NY Project Management Oversight - Responsible for continuous review and evaluation of grantee (MTA) to ensure compliance with statutory, administrative, and regulatory requirements. Also monitor the projects to determine whether on schedule, within budget, and in accordance with approved MTA plans and specifications. Other activities involved include: design constructability, contract modification reviews, and value engineering submittals. (2007-2014)

 Second Avenue Subway, Federal Transit Authority, , NY Project Management Oversight - Responsible for submitting monthly report as Program Management Oversight, providing the appropriate program management methodologies and tools to analyze and mitigate associated risks. Additional focus on assisting the FTA in cost-effective project management, improving financial performance and settling contract disputes. (2007-2014)

 Barclay Center, Atlantic Yards Turner Construction, Brooklyn, NY Building Information Modeling - Responsible for developing the work break down structure for Building Information Modeling (Frank Gehry’s design), finding solutions for extracting information from 3D model of the basketball arena. The challenge was working with architectural drawings in “Digital Project” format and structural drawings in “Tekla” format - successfully extracting information from and updating the models despite the format differences. Additionally provided detailed scope clarification for subcontractors to finalize the cost certainty of the project in its preconstruction phase. (2007-2009)
