Empowering MEP Coordination: CAD to BIM Conversion for a Commercial Project in New York, USA
Brief Overview
We undertook a CAD-to-BIM conversion project for commercial development in New York. Our team completed Architecture, Structure, and MEPF modeling at LOD 400, inter-trade coordination, and the production of shop drawings. The project covered an area of 16,800 square feet, enabling efficient collaboration and improved project outcomes.
Challenges/Requirements
Limited Ceiling Space for MEPF Services
MEP Shaft Mismatch
Limited Space in Shaft for MEPF Risers
Different Drainage Routing Standards
Deliverables
Our team provided a coordinated model that integrated the architectural, structural, and MEPF elements at LOD 400. The model accurately represented the design intent and allowed for comprehensive trade coordination.
.
We generated detailed shop drawings based on the coordinated model. These drawings provided precise information for the fabrication and installation of MEPF components, ensuring accuracy and efficiency during construction.
Our deliverables included hanger drawings that showcased the appropriate placement and support of MEPF systems. These drawings assisted in properly installing MEPF equipment and facilitated coordination with other building elements.
We provided sleeve drawings that identified the locations and sizes of openings required to pass MEPF services. These drawings ensured proper alignment and coordination between different building systems.
Outcomes / Benefits
Enhanced Coordination
Streamlined Construction
Improved Design Accuracy
Efficient Project Execution
A staggering 355 million women and girls are still waiting for a toilet in India (WaterAid, 2017). Women from low-income communities face the brunt of this gap as they compromise their safety each day to carry out their daily sanitation routine.
