One of the world's leading companies in the biotechnology industry decided to go into BIM Implementation for Facility Management. We're working on the first applicability samples and supporting the entire process, offering different BIM solutions and strategies. For this, we've produced updated documentation, BIM models, take-offs material and data management.

Flamingo is one of the USA's biggest renovations, transforming a 600-room hotel into 400 residential condominiums. Our participation helped preventing problems during construction. With this goal in mind, we received design-phase Architectural and Structural models and adjusted to the real conditions captured by laser-scanning. This allowed producing a Federated Model containing all trades. This was shared with all subconsultants and updated during the whole Coordination process, lead by C2A.
When the architect Stephen Sun planned to expand his business, he wanted to focus on designing, so he needed extra help with all the production. That's why he called us, to request full support in Modeling and Documentation, from Schematic to Construction Documents. The first approach was to develop a CD set for a small ADU (Accessory Dwelling Units), and since then, we've been working together.
Implementing BIM for MEPF Coordination allows owners and constructors to make crucial decisions for faster installation and problems prevention. This applies not only for skyscrapers but also to medium-scale houses or buildings with a certain level of complexity. In this project, we worked alongside the engineers to develop an efficient and coordinated comfort system.

We were provided of a geometrical model developed in Rhinoceros, to turn it into parametric families in Revit. At that point, the design wasn't completely settled, so the parameters needed to allow heights and shape adjustments without affecting the rest of the building, nor the curves of the facade.
With the introduction of 3D laser scanning and 360° photography, the capture of an existing construction has become easier than ever before. Using this highly detailed data, we can model smart tools to virtually tour the site. Leveraging this, together with c2a.studio, we've developed a very efficient process to turn Point Cloud files into very accurate As-Built 3D Revit models or 2D CAD layouts.
