The team at Hitech CADD Services began the project by dividing the building into two parts – the Data Center and the Services Building.
2D drawings that were presented by the client as inputs were used to extract technical information and develop a 3D BIM model in Revit.
Through ongoing communication with the client and raising RFI’s as required, the project team was able to obtain missing information and resolve inter-disciplinary clashes using Autodesk Navisworks.
The federated BIM Model highlighted the clashes so that the client could resolve them with a suitable alternative.
