  • A model file was set up and modeling was done with LOD 500 standards as requested by the client
  • Detailed architectural, structural and equipment spacing information was included
  • The missing sections were recreated based on engineering assumptions
  • Constant communication was set, and approvals were taken from the client for the restructured parts for which input data was not available.

Business Benefits

  • Additional floors, structures, and columns can be added and connected with MEP and HVAC structure.
  • Detailed facilities management has been implemented and periodical maintenance has been scheduled to increase the building lifecycle.
