7.3.3.9 IfcCrewResource
7.3.3.9.1 Semantic definition
IfcCrewResource represents a collection of internal resources used in construction processes.
Identification of people and equipment of a crew is achieved through their specification at the level of the component. Therefore, knowing which persons are within a crew is achieved through identifying the persons assigned to each IfcLaborResource within the IfcCrewResource. Similarly, identifying that a screwing machine for pipe fitting forms part of the crew is achieved by relating an appropriate instance of IfcElementComponent to the IfcConstructionEquipmentResource forming an element of the IfcCrewResource.

Assignment of a globally unique identifier within the entire software world. |
| 2 | OwnerHistory | OPTIONAL IfcOwnerHistory |
Assignment of the information about the current ownership of that object, including owning actor, application, local identification and information captured about the recent changes of the object, |
| 3 | Name | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
Optional name for use by the participating software systems or users. For some subtypes of IfcRoot the insertion of the Name attribute may be required. This would be enforced by a where rule. |
| 4 | Description | OPTIONAL IfcText |

| IfcObjectDefinition (7) | |||
| HasAssignments | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssigns FOR RelatedObjects |
Reference to the relationship objects, that assign (by an association relationship) other subtypes of IfcObject to this object instance. Examples are the association to products, processes, controls, resources or groups. |
|
| Nests | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelNests FOR RelatedObjects |
References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is a part within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object occurrence or type can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical structures only). |
|
| IsNestedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelNests FOR RelatingObject |
References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is the whole within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object or object type can be nested by several other objects (occurrences or types). |
|
| HasContext | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDeclares FOR RelatedDefinitions |
References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object. |
|
| IsDecomposedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAggregates FOR RelatingObject |
References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is whole within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definition can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts). |
|
| Decomposes | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelAggregates FOR RelatedObjects |
References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is a part within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definition can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical structures only). |
|
| HasAssociations | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssociates FOR RelatedObjects |
Reference to the relationship objects, that associates external references or other resource definitions to the object. Examples are the association to library, documentation or classification. |
|
| IfcObject (5) | |||
| 5 | ObjectType | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED or when the concrete entity instantiated does not have a PredefinedType attribute. The latter is the case in some exceptional leaf classes and when instantiating IfcBuiltElement directly. |
| IsDeclaredBy | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDefinesByObject FOR RelatedObjects |
Link to the relationship object pointing to the declaring object that provides the object definitions for this object occurrence. The declaring object has to be part of an object type decomposition. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, contains the specific information (as part of a type, or style, definition), that is common to all reflected instances of the declaring IfcObject, or its subtypes. |
|
| Declares | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelDefinesByObject FOR RelatingObject |
Link to the relationship object pointing to the reflected object(s) that receives the object definitions. The reflected object has to be part of an object occurrence decomposition. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, provides the specific information (as part of a type, or style, definition), that is common to all reflected instances of the declaring IfcObject, or its subtypes. |
|
| IsTypedBy | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDefinesByType FOR RelatedObjects |
Set of relationships to the object type that provides the type definitions for this object occurrence. The then associated IfcTypeObject, or its subtypes, contains the specific information (or type, or style), that is common to all instances of IfcObject, or its subtypes, referring to the same type. |
|
| IsDefinedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelDefinesByProperties FOR RelatedObjects |
Set of relationships to property set definitions attached to this object. Those statically or dynamically defined properties contain alphanumeric information content that further defines the object. |
|
| IfcResource (3) | |||
| 6 | Identification | OPTIONAL IfcIdentifier |
An identifying designation given to a resource. It is the identifier at the occurrence level. |
| 7 | LongDescription | OPTIONAL IfcText |
A detailed description of the resource (e.g. the skillset for a labor resource). |
| ResourceOf | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssignsToResource FOR RelatingResource |
Set of relationships to other objects, e.g. products, processes, controls, resources or actors, for which this resource object is a resource. |
|
| IfcConstructionResource (3) | |||
| 8 | Usage | OPTIONAL IfcResourceTime |
Indicates the work, usage, and times scheduled and completed. Some attributes on this object may have associated constraints or time series; see documentation of IfcResourceTime for specific usage. If the resource is nested, then certain values may be calculated based on the component resources as indicated at IfcResourceTime. |
| 9 | BaseCosts | OPTIONAL LIST [1:?] OF IfcAppliedValue |
Indicates the unit costs for which accrued amounts should be calculated. Such unit costs may be split into Name designations (for example, 'Standard', 'Overtime'), and may contain a hierarchy of cost values that apply at different dates (using IfcCostValue.ApplicableDate and IfcCostValue.FixedUntilDate). |
| 10 | BaseQuantity | OPTIONAL IfcPhysicalQuantity |
Identifies the base quantity consumed of the resource relative to assignments. For crew, labour, subcontract, and equipment resources, this refers to IfcQuantityTime. For material resources, this refers to any valid dimensional quantity, such as IfcQuantityVolume, IfcQuantityArea, IfcQuantityLength, or IfcQuantityWeight. For product resources, this refers to IfcQuantityCount. |

|
| Object Typing | General |
Any object occurrence can be typed by being assigned to a common object type utilizing this concept. A particular rule, restricting the applicable subtypes of IfcTypeObject that can be assigned, is introduced by overriding this concept at the level of subtypes of IfcObject. This concept can be applied to the following resources: |
|
| Object User Identity | General |
An attribute Name and optionally Description can be used for all subypes of IfcObject. For those subtypes, that have an object type definition, such as IfcBeam - IfcBeamType, the common Name and optionally Description is associated with the object type. |
|
| Property Sets with Override | General |
Any object occurrence can hold property sets, either directly at the object occurrence as element specific property sets, or at the object type, as type property sets. In this case, the properties that are provided to the object occurrence are the combinations of element specific and type properties. In case that the same property (within the same property set) is defined both in occurrence and type properties, the property value of the occurrence property overrides the property value of the type property. |

|
| IfcConstructionResource (5) | |||
| Constraint Association | General |
Constraints may be applied to a resource to indicate fixed work (such as total person-hours) or fixed usage (such as simultaneous workers). Figure 7.3.3.9.A indicates fixed usage (such as simultaneous workers) such that changes to ScheduleWork should impact the assigned IfcTask.TaskTime.ScheduleDuration and vice-versa. Figure 7.3.3.9.B indicates fixed work (such as total person-hours) such that changes to ScheduleUsage should impact the assigned IfcTask.TaskTime.ScheduleDuration and vice-versa. |
|
| Document Association | General |
Documents may be published for work plans consisting of schedules, calendars, tasks, and resources. The relationship IfcRelAssociatesDocument may be used to preserve mappings to such document where RelatingDocument points to an IfcDocumentReference and RelatedObjects includes the IfcConstructionResource as shown in Figure 7.3.3.9.C. IfcDocumentReference.ItemReference identifies the resource within the scope of the document, such as an integer or guid. The IfcDocumentReference.ReferencedDocument corresponds to the document which is uniquely identified by IfcDocumentInformation.DocumentId and/or IfcDocumentInformation.PublicationLocation. Such document mapping allows items in the document to be updated from the building information model and vice-versa.  |
|
| Object Nesting | General |
Resources may be decomposed into allocation pools using the IfcRelNests relationship as shown in Figure 7.3.3.9.D. For example, an IfcLaborResource for "Electrician" may be decomposed into three task-specific IfcLaborResource objects: "Electrical Rough-in", "First Floor Circuits", and "Second Floor Circuits". Both relating and related sides may represent the same ResourceTime.ScheduleUsage quantity (for example, 6 workers time-shared), or the related side may break out ResourceTime.ScheduleUsage quantities for reserved use (for example, 4 workers and 2 workers). A common scenario is two nesting levels where the first-level resources have no task assignments; while second-level resources have specific task assignments indicating that the resource is subdivided into allocations for specific tasks. While the model allows unlimited nesting of resources, implementer agreements may restrict to two nesting levels with task assignments specifically at the second level.  This concept can be applied to the following resources: |
|
| Object Typing | General |
The resource type may provide shared productivity and cost information, allowing tasks and resources to be selected according to lowest cost and/or shortest duration. Given an IfcProduct of a particular IfcTypeProduct type, an IfcTypeProcess may be selected from those assigned to the product type using IfcRelAssignsToProduct, and an IfcTypeResource may be selected from those assigned to the process type using IfcRelAssignsToProcess. Then IfcTask and IfcConstructionResource occurrences may be instantiated from the type definitions, applying productivitity and rate information to assigned quantities to calculate ResourceTime.ScheduleWork. Task durations can then be calculated by dividing ResourceTime.ScheduleWork by ResourceTime.ScheduleUsage.  This concept can be applied to the following resources: |
|
| Property Sets for Objects | General |
For time series properties as shown in Figure 7.3.3.9.F, each IfcTimeSeriesValue indicates a LIST of values, where the sequence of the value corresponds to the IfcCostValue at IfcConstructionResource.CostRatesConsumed. For example, if CostRatesConsumed has two IfcCostValue items in the LIST, "Standard" and "Overtime", then IfcTimeSeriesValue(IfcDuration('T8H0M0S'),IfcDuration('T2H0M0S')) would indicate 8 hours at Standard rate and 2 hours at Overtime rate. If the list of values at IfcTimeSeriesValue.ListValues is less than the size of CostRatesConsumed, then subsequent values are considered to be zero.
