Structural and Facade 3D Modeling with Clash Detection and BIM Coordination for a Metro Station in Malaysia

Brief Overview

This project involved the creation of a comprehensive 3D BIM model with LOD 400 for a metro station in Malaysia. The scope included structural and architectural facade modeling, clash detection, BIM coordination, and quantity estimation. The aim was to improve efficiency, reduce constructability issues, and ensure coordinated design drawings for seamless construction.

Challenges/Requirements

LOD 400 Structural & Architectural Façade Model

Developing a detailed LOD 400 BIM model that accurately represents the steel structures and architectural facades of the metro station, meeting the required level of detail for coordination and quantity estimation purposes.

Clash Detection & Coordination

Identifying and resolving clashes between building elements, including structural and architectural components, to ensure effective coordination and seamless integration of various systems.

Quantity Estimation

Accurately estimating the materials required for construction, such as steel, concrete, and facade elements, to support precise cost planning and procurement processes.

Constructability Review

Conducting a comprehensive review of the project's constructability, considering site constraints and installation requirements, and addressing potential issues affecting construction efficiency and quality.

Weekly Work-in-Progress (WIP) Models and Reports

Providing regular updates to the client through WIP models and reports, ensuring they are kept informed about the project's progress and milestones achieved on a weekly basis.
