Description
- About project
- When you set to redesign a 100+ year old heritage hotel, you know it's going be a challenging task. This remodeling project demanded accurate mapping of the existing building, creating a demolition plan and drawings and then redesigning the new construction. Creating accurate As-built drawings required significant coordination between the cross-design models. The structure is a 5-story building with around 150 rooms into the new design. MEP coordination becomes a critical and important aspect of this project while remodeling any old structure.
- For the renovation of the existing design, at first, we went ahead with the creating the As-built drawing of the building. Existing design drawings and mapping of the building provided the insight to build them. Our BIM modeler recreated the error-free demolition plan from the existing building plan. This 3D model contains customized Revit families/joinery items, crucial ducting system, and HVAC installations. This project has gone through various design phases such as As-built model, demolition model, 3D modeling, MEP coordination and more.
