Project Snapshot
Project type: Data Center
Location: United Kingdom
Client type: Data Center Operator / Consultant
Project phase: Design + Construction
BIM services: Multidisciplinary coordination, information management, handover-ready BIM delivery
Disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEPF
Software: Revit, Navisworks, ACC, Tekla Structures
The Challenge
- The project involved multiple vendors and packages, each delivering data in different formats.
- The client required a clean, consistent, and reliable BIM handover suitable for operations.
- Poorly structured information at handover posed a risk to commissioning and asset management.
- BIM needed to support not only coordination, but also long-term operational use.
Our BIM Approach
- Implemented ISO 19650–aligned information governance to control model structure and data quality.
- Coordinated all disciplines into a federated BIM model developed to LOD 350.
- Embedded asset information and delivered structured IFC and COBie outputs.
- Introduced clear sign-off gates to control information completeness and quality.
- Supported the client through record model development and handover preparation.
Results & Impact
- Delivered a clean, operation-ready BIM model at project handover.
- Improved commissioning readiness through reliable asset data.
- Reduced information gaps between delivery and operations.
- Smoother transition from construction into facility management.
Value Delivered
- Acted as an information-led BIM partner for a mission-critical facility.
- Reduced operational risk through structured BIM handover.
- Ensured compliance with UK ISO 19650 requirements.
- Demonstrated expertise in delivering handover-focused BIM for data center projects.
