A California based construction and engineering company approached Hi-Tech with a project, to create information rich intelligent BIM for a residence Inn - A 6 storied building with a basement for car parking. The construction area, spread across 10,500 sq. ft.

The client wanted BIM with LOD 300, for architectural, MEP and structural disciplines. The primary reason of Outsourcing BIM Services was to avail detailed documentation, to detect and mitigate clashes at an early stage and make the construction process efficient and cost effective.

Challenges

1: The structural drafts and specifications were missing in the input files provided by the client
2: On request, these details were provided however, the process consumed a lot of time
3: The side cutting fields at the basement were problematic, where the dimensions and survey points were not matching

Engineering Solution

1: Inputs received as .PDF files, were successfully converted into BIM for architectural and MEP disciplines

Inputs for structural discipline were missing; hence, the details were generated based on engineering assumptions. Waiting for the inputs from client, could have delayed the project.

2: At a later stage when the missing information arrived, it was found that the engineering assumptions were 90% accurate. Required iterations were done in the 3D Revit model.
