Client Requirements
Our client, a leading UK construction and real estate firm, required accurate as-built BIM models for a 45,000 sqft commercial building. The objective was to document the existing conditions of the structure to support future renovations, space optimization, and facility management.
Our Scope of Work
We were entrusted with extracting precise elevations and sections from the shared point cloud data. Additionally, the client required detailed modeling of the wooden beams present in the structure. Given the complexity of the building, achieving high accuracy while maintaining efficiency was critical.
Challenges & Solutions
- Complexity of Point Cloud Data:
The raw point cloud data consisted of millions of data points, making it essential to apply advanced filtering and segmentation techniques. Our team leveraged industry-leading software to clean and classify the data efficiently.
- Precision in Elevations and Sections:
As the as-built documentation was crucial for future modifications, ensuring precision in elevation and sectional views was paramount. Our experienced BIM professionals meticulously aligned the model with the point cloud data to maintain a high level of accuracy.
- Detailed Modeling of Wooden Beams:
Wooden structures often pose a challenge in modeling due to their irregular shapes and unique characteristics. By employing parametric modeling techniques and leveraging Autodesk Revit, we successfully created a detailed representation of the wooden beams.
Execution & Timeline
Understanding the project’s urgency, our team streamlined the workflow and optimized data processing techniques. Within 1.5 weeks, we delivered a comprehensive as-built BIM model, ensuring that it adhered to the client’s specifications.
Results & Impact
- High-Accuracy As-Built Documentation: The client received a precise model that seamlessly aligned with the real-world structure.
- Optimized Workflow for Future Projects: The well-structured model enabled smooth integration with facility management and future refurbishment planning.
- Client Satisfaction: Our swift turnaround and attention to detail exceeded the client’s expectations, strengthening our relationship for future collaborations.
Through our expertise in BIM services, we successfully delivered an accurate as-built model for a large-scale commercial building in the UK. This project underscored our commitment to efficiency, precision, and client satisfaction, reinforcing our position as a trusted BIM partner in the industry.
