Cadan Design where approached by the main contractor Mansell, as the BIM consultant to complete this demanding project in line with BIM Level 2 requirements and integrate COBie and custom data into a Universities existing facilities management system.
As part of our process, we included the total re-design and coordination of the energy centre layout. Our improved scheme including a 50% increase for future expansion and included CDM considerations such maintenance service walkways. Through precise modelling and utilising the information contained within the 3d models, we were able to demonstrate many of the processes from BIM including design, coordination, materials take off, procurement information, offsite modular fabrication drawings to name a few.
Cadan Design worked with the universities FM team to collect the information and field data, including serial numbers, barcodes and installation dates. The data was integrated back into the BIM model, to be further exported as an Asset Information Model (AIM) and exported / imported to the FM system. To validate the installation, we provided an 'As Built' laser scan and accompanying 3D photography for clarification.
