Project Snapshot
Project type: Data Center
Location: USA
Client type: GC / MEP Contractor
Project phase: Design + Construction
BIM services: Trade BIM modelling, coordination, fabrication and installation support
Disciplines: MEP
Software: Revit, Navisworks, ACC
The Challenge
- The project was delivered under an aggressive construction schedule with minimal float.
- Frequent vendor and equipment changes required rapid model updates.
- High-density MEP systems increased the risk of clashes during installation.
- The contractor needed BIM outputs that were immediately usable on site.
Our BIM Approach
- Developed LOD 400 trade-level BIM models tailored specifically for fabrication and installation.
- Aligned BIM coordination activities with the contractor’s pull-plan and weekly lookahead schedules.
- Conducted high-frequency coordination and clash reviews to keep pace with site progress.
- Rapidly incorporated vendor data and field changes while maintaining model integrity.
- Delivered fabrication-ready outputs including spools, penetration layouts, and installation drawings.
Results & Impact
- Enabled faster installation cycles through clear, constructible BIM outputs.
- Reduced rework despite ongoing design and vendor changes.
- Improved coordination between trade partners during critical construction phases.
- Supported consistent progress on a high-pressure, mission-critical build.
Value Delivered
- Delivered contractor-focused BIM support aligned with site realities.
- Reduced installation risk through fabrication-ready coordination.
- Improved productivity under aggressive program constraints.
- Demonstrated proven capability in delivering trade BIM for mission-critical data center projects.
