Measurable outcomes from coordinated, constructible BIM models across commercial, healthcare, industrial and residential projects.
A major mixed-use development required full architectural and structural BIM models coordinated with MEP systems across more than 18,000 model elements. The design team faced recurring spatial conflicts that threatened the construction schedule.
Challenge: Multiple design packages arriving at different times, limited coordination meetings, and high risk of on-site clashes in vertical cores and floor zones.
Approach: We developed LOD 350–400 models, established a weekly federated model cycle, ran hard and soft clash detection, and maintained a live issue tracker with responsibility assignments. Coordination workshops focused only on high-impact clashes.
Outcome: The project entered construction with a clean federated model. Site teams reported significantly fewer spatial RFIs, and the main contractor used the model for temporary works and sequencing discussions.
An operational hospital required a major MEP and structural intervention in one wing. Existing drawings were incomplete and outdated. Accurate as-built information was essential to minimize disruption and patient risk.
Challenge: Limited access windows, dense existing services, and the need for millimeter-level accuracy in critical areas.
Approach: Laser scanning during low-occupancy periods, careful point-cloud registration, and modeling to LOD 350 with special attention to structural penetrations and main MEP routes. Deviation reports highlighted areas where design assumptions differed from reality.
Outcome: Design and construction teams worked from a verified as-built model. Prefabrication of new services proceeded with high confidence, and the retrofit was completed within the planned clinical downtime window.
A new production facility involved complex steel erection, equipment placement and building envelope works with tight interfaces between packages. The main contractor needed clear visual sequencing to manage multiple subcontractors.
Challenge: Overlapping work fronts, heavy equipment logistics, and risk of temporary works conflicts.
Approach: We linked the federated structural and architectural model to the master schedule, creating a 4D simulation that highlighted critical path activities and potential space conflicts week by week. What-if scenarios tested alternative erection sequences.
Outcome: Site management used the 4D model in toolbox talks and progress meetings. Installation of primary steel and major equipment finished ahead of the original baseline with no significant spatial conflicts.
5D quantity take-offs from coordinated architectural and structural models supported accurate tendering and monthly cost tracking across eight residential blocks.
Compressed design period required rapid architectural modeling and weekly clash cycles with MEP. Model was used for both coordination and client sign-off visualizations.
High-precision structural and façade modeling with tight tolerance requirements for modular equipment and security zones. Deliverables supported both design and fabrication.
