BIM Coordination > Residential Build > Australia

Project Snapshot

Project type: Multi-storey residential apartment

Location: Australia

Client type: Developer / Consultant

Project phase: Design + Construction Documentation

BIM services: Structural design, BIM modelling, detailing, coordination

Disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEP

Software: Revit, Navisworks

The Challenge

  1. The project involved a hybrid reinforced concrete and structural steel system requiring precise integration
  2. Architectural façade elements and balconies demanded careful structural interface coordination
  3. Limited service zones created tight spatial coordination between structure and MEP
  4. Compliance with Australian Standards required accurate documentation and modelling
  5. Design changes during documentation needed efficient model-based updates

Our BIM Approach

  1. Delivered integrated structural analysis and design for RC core, slabs, columns, and steel framing
  2. Developed a coordinated LOD 300–350 structural BIM model in Revit
  3. Conducted interdisciplinary clash detection and weekly coordination reviews
  4. Produced construction-ready drawings, reinforcement details, and schedules
  5. Optimized material quantities through model-based take-offs and detailing workflows

Results & Impact

  1. Reduced design-stage conflicts through proactive BIM coordination
  2. Improved documentation accuracy and construction clarity
  3. Streamlined integration of steel and concrete structural systems
  4. Minimized RFIs through coordinated structural and services modelling
  5. Enhanced collaboration across architectural, structural, and MEP teams

Value Delivered

  1. Provided design-backed BIM modelling rather than drafting-only services
  2. Enabled seamless structural coordination from concept through construction documentation
  3. Delivered cost-aware detailing and optimized structural solutions
  4. Demonstrated capability in hybrid RC–steel residential developments
