The Fern Dean, Stepaside
Disciplines coordinated
The brief
Bimco was appointed as lead BIM coordinator on a 120-bed residential care facility in Stepaside. Working from the architect's design intent drawings, we authored a fully federated Revit model spanning four floors and 7,800m² of GIA.
How we delivered it
Weekly Navisworks clash detection sessions with the structural and MEP design teams resolved 312 hard clashes before tender, eliminating an estimated 4 weeks of on-site rework. The model was delivered to ISO 19650 and used directly by the main contractor for 4D sequencing.
The outcome
Final handover included an as-built model, COBie data drop and a facilities management asset register synchronised with the client's CAFM system.
Working on healthcare projects
Healthcare and residential care projects carry unusually dense services and strict regulatory constraints, which makes early federation valuable: coordination problems in a care setting tend to surface as compliance problems rather than merely as rework.
