The client provided comprehensive project data including PDF drawings, CAD files, design markups and reference specifications, covering architectural and structural intent.
Project Objective
To develop a highly accurate and data-enriched Architectural and Structural BIM model at LOD 300 for a large-scale commercial mixed-use development. The goal was to ensure clash-free inter-disciplinary coordination, streamline constructability reviews and produce construction documentation aligned with the client’s project standards and technical specifications.
Scope of Work
01
Creation of coordinated Architectural and Structural BIM models
02
Development of façade geometry with intricate architectural detailing
03
Clash detection, clash resolution and coordination reporting
04
Setting up annotation standards, templates, sheets and documentation workflows
05
Extraction of construction drawings compliant with project standards
Client Input
Project Description
The Franklyn Street Commercial Development is a large-scale mixed-use project that required sophisticated BIM modeling due to its extensive footprint and intricate façade architecture. The project demanded precise geometric representation, detailed element metadata and seamless integration of architectural and structural models.
QeCAD’s BIM team developed a fully coordinated 3D model capturing design intent, construction logic and functional relationships between building components. Façade elements with advanced detailing were modeled meticulously to reflect actual installation conditions. To maintain documentation accuracy, our experts created project-specific templates, symbols, view standards and annotation styles thereby ensuring the consistency and clarity across all sheets.
Throughout the engagement, we maintained the continuous collaboration with the client, sharing progress models, addressing the design feedbacks and refining elements in real time. Leveraging our domain expertise, the team ensured accelerated model development without compromising on the quality. The resulting model accurately represented geometry, structural connections, dimensional logic and material properties—forming a reliable base for downstream construction workflows.
Our Client’s Challenges
- Large project scale with complex façade and structural elements
- Need for an accurate LOD 300 model to support construction documentation
- Coordination challenges between the architectural and structural disciplines
- Requirement for a clash-free federated model before documentation
- Ensuring all the drawings followed standardized annotation and template guidelines
Our Approach and Solution
- Developed discipline-specific BIM models in Revit following client BIM standards.
- Performed multi-stage clash detection and coordination cycles to resolve interferences between the Architectural and Structural elements.
- Created custom annotation templates, view templates, title blocks and documentation standards for consistent output.
- Modeled complex façade and architectural geometries with precise dimensional accuracy.
- Conducted periodic model reviews with the client, incorporating the feedback seamlessly for the design alignment.
- Delivered a highly coordinated, clash-free BIM model ready for construction documentation and fabrication planning.
Output Delivered
- Clash-Free Federated Revit Model (.rvt)
- Construction Documentation Set in both PDF and CAD formats
