SERVICES OFFERED
AEODC was brought on board by client to deliver the defined scope of work with quick turnaround at LOD 300 within a duration of 6.0 to 8.0 Weeks. Known for preparing a detailed VCS Report (PDF), AEODC took the challenge to deliver the defined scope and implemented strategies to deliver the project accurately within defined timelines.
The scope of work included in the project:
- Revit Modeling: Creating detailed 3D models of structure and MEP systems using Autodesk Revit software.
- Virtual Construction Study Report: Preparing a detailed Clash Report (PDF) highlighting clashes found and suggesting ways to resolve the clashes.
PROJECT CHALLENGES
The project presented several complex challenges, including:
- Tight Deadlines: The project short timeline demanded efficient workflows and rigorous project management.
- Interdisciplinary Coordination: Coordinating among multiple disciplines such as civil, architecture, structure, and MEP works required meticulous planning and communication.
- Model Complexity: The complex landscape contour and intricate structure design of the project necessitated robust BIM methodologies and advanced software tools.
STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED
The strategies implemented for successfully delivering the project:
- Optimized Workflows: Leveraging advanced Revit plug-ins and streamlined workflows to maximize productivity.
- Collaborative Approach: Fostering strong collaboration between the design team and the construction team to ensure timely resolution of RFI’s and Clashes.
- Quality Assurance: Implementing rigorous quality control measures to maintain accuracy and consistency throughout the project.
By addressing these challenges, AEODC successfully delivered a BIM Enabled project that facilitated efficient construction, minimized costly errors and delays in record time at site.
