BIM Coordination > Residential Building > United States of America

Project Snapshot

Project type: Multi-storey residential development

Location: United States of America

Client type: Developer / Consultant

Project phase: Design + Construction Documentation

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

Disciplines: Architecture, Structure (RC + Steel), MEP

Software: Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD

The Challenge

  1. The project involved a hybrid structural system combining reinforced concrete core elements with structural steel framing
  2. Tight residential layouts required precise coordination between structure, façade, and MEP services
  3. Vertical service risers created congestion across multiple floors
  4. Balcony detailing and façade interfaces required accurate integration with structural framing
  5. The client required coordinated, construction-ready models to minimize site rework

Our BIM Approach

  1. Developed coordinated architectural and structural BIM models up to LOD 350
  2. Modelled hybrid RC and steel systems with constructibility-focused detailing
  3. Performed structured clash detection and interdisciplinary coordination reviews
  4. Optimised structural grid and framing layouts to align with apartment planning
  5. Generated shop drawings, reinforcement detailing, and model-based quantity outputs
  6. Maintained a clean federated BIM environment to support design and construction workflows

Results & Impact

  1. Significantly reduced coordination clashes prior to construction
  2. Improved interface management between structure, façade, and MEP systems
  3. Delivered accurate, fabrication-ready structural detailing
  4. Enhanced documentation quality and construction clarity
  5. Enabled smoother collaboration between consultants and contractors

Value Delivered

  1. Provided integrated design-to-detailing BIM support under one coordinated workflow
  2. Reduced construction risk through early coordination and model validation
  3. Delivered hybrid structural modelling expertise for complex residential projects
  4. Ensured constructible, high-quality outputs aligned with project timelines.
