Overview

Public buildings have to work for open public circulation and controlled, secure areas in the same footprint. The model coordinates those access interfaces alongside structure, services and site, so every discipline is integrated before construction.

Services Used
Layer by Layer

What each discipline models

  1. L.01Architectural

    Public spaces, offices, facade and circulation.

  2. L.02Structural

    Foundations, framing, slabs and roof systems.

  3. L.03MEPF

    HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire protection.

  4. L.04Civil / Site

    Site access, landscape, drainage and utilities, where scoped.

  5. L.05Coordination

    Security and access interfaces, public circulation and multi-discipline integration.

Typical Challenges

Where these projects go wrong, and how the model prevents it

  1. C.01

    Public and secure areas share one footprint

    Approach

    Security and access interfaces are kept in the model and coordinated with architecture and services.

  2. C.02

    Public circulation has to stay clear

    Approach

    Circulation routes are checked against services and fit-out in the federated model.

  3. C.03

    Every discipline meets in public spaces

    Approach

    Architecture, structure, MEPF and site are federated so they are integrated before construction.

Coordination Focus
  • Security and access-control interfaces
  • Public circulation routes
  • Services through office and public areas
  • Site access, drainage and utility connections
Deliverables
  • Architectural model of public spaces, offices and facade
  • Structural model of foundations, frame, slabs and roof
  • Coordinated MEPF models for each trade
  • Site model of access, landscape, drainage and utilities, where scoped
  • Federated model with clash reports and a tracked issue log

Standard modeling capability: up to LOD 400, across every discipline.

How the Work Runs

Process

  1. 01

    Brief & inputs

    Drawings, models, standards and templates collected, with scope agreed by discipline and level of detail.

  2. 02

    Discipline modeling

    Each discipline modeled on the project's shared coordinate system, to your naming and template standards.

  3. 03

    Federation & clash cycles

    Models federated and clash-tested, with issues tracked through resolution with the responsible trades.

  4. 04

    Sign-off & handover

    Issue log closed out and coordinated models and drawings handed over, with a change log.
