MEDICAL SKILLS & TRAINING CENTER
PDF/CAD to BIM | MEP Modeling & Construction Documentation
- Project Overview
This project involved converting PDF and CAD-based design documentation into a coordinated MEP BIM model for a multi-story Medical Skills & Training Center located in California, USA. The objective was to develop detailed Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing models to support coordination, clash detection, construction planning, and installation documentation.
