Project Objective:
Technology/Software Used:
Autodesk Revit Architecture, Autodesk Revit Structure, Autodesk Revit MEP, Autodesk NavisWorks
The client, a reputed company from Saudi Arabia, contacted Hi-Tech for a University Hospital building project. The construction work had already started and the client wanted BIM with LOD500, as per AIA standards, across MEP, architectural and structural disciplines.
This construction documentation was intended to not only make the process of construction efficient but also to enable a smooth and streamlined facility management once the building gets occupied.
Challenges:
1: The construction work had already started, BIM adoption at a later stage during the project is challenging
The turnaround time was another challenge, and detailed BIM had to be developed and delivered within an almost unreasonable deadline
2: Additionally, the team also had to understand and deliver BIM with Level of detail 500, as per the AIA standards
