Project Objective

Create clash free Architectural, Structural & MEP BIM Models with LOD 300 for a new Eye hospital Building project in Egypt.

Industry: Construction
Location: Egypt
Architects: Hi-Tech CADD Services
Software used: Revit

The Challenges

The Client was working on a government project to construct an ophthalmic hospital. They decided to implement BIM on the project instead of traditional CAD based construction methods. The project team received architectural drawings of inconsistent quality, with several details missing. There were further coordination issues with the client due to differences in geographical locations and time zones.

The Solution

A dedicated project team was deployed to work full time on this project to create a federated model consisting of individual discipline-specific models. Using the files received from the client, the project team created LoD 300 Building Information Models for the architecture, structural engineering, and MEP disciplines, and an information-rich, federated model of the hospital building. The team also successfully detected all the inter-discipline clashes and was able to resolve them, and generate accurate material take-off and construction schedules for the client.
