Heritage BIM Modeling
- Develop an accurate BIM model of the existing historic façade.
- Model architectural ornaments, cornices, arches, windows, and decorative elements.
- Integrate the heritage façade with the proposed building model.
Existing Conditions & Coordination
- Convert existing drawings and survey information into a coordinated BIM model.
- Coordinate architectural, structural, and façade interfaces.
- Perform clash detection and model validation.
Construction Documentation
- Prepare façade plans, elevations, sections, and architectural details.
- Generate restoration and installation drawings.
- Develop coordinated construction documentation for execution.
Key Challenges
Accurately modeling intricate historic architectural details while preserving the original building character required meticulous attention to geometry and detailing. Integrating the restored façade with the new building structure demanded precise coordination between architectural and structural models, ensuring constructability without compromising the heritage features.
