Commercial
Virtual design and construction programme for a 22-storey City of London office development.
Commercial
A Grade A commercial office tower in the City required a fully coordinated VDC programme from RIBA Stage 2 through to practical completion. At handover, the as-built model was structured and attributed to support a live digital twin — connected to the building management system to enable real-time monitoring of energy consumption, occupancy, and system performance.
Where
Design Team Speaking Different Languages
Architecture, structure, and MEP were each modelling to different conventions with no shared coordination environment.
Five Stages, One Model Expected
The developer needed one coherent federated model to survive from RIBA Stage 2 all the way to practical completion.
Handover Data Had No Home
Previous projects had handed over static as-built models that facilities teams couldn't actually plug into a BMS.
No Internal VDC Capability
The developer wanted a live digital twin outcome but had no in-house resource to manage a federated model programme.
A look inside the project.
Where
What
Five-Stage Design Evolution
The federated model had to stay coherent as the design moved from RIBA Stage 2 through practical completion.
Multi-Consultant Alignment
Architects, structural engineers, and MEP consultants each worked to different modelling conventions.
Digital Twin Readiness
The as-built model needed structuring and attribution precise enough to connect directly to a live BMS.
Handover Data Completeness
A full COBie dataset had to be extracted covering every asset and maintenance record.
How
Embed in the Design Team
Our team worked inside the design and construction programme rather than at arm's length.
Coordinate Every Week
Weekly coordination sessions with architecture, structure, and MEP kept the model resolved continuously.
Structure for the Twin
The as-built model was attributed and structured specifically to support live BMS integration ahead of handover.
Deliver a Complete Handover Package
A full COBie dataset was extracted and validated against the as-built model before practical completion.
What
Federated Design Model
Stage-by-stage federated model from RIBA 2 through 5, maintained as the single source of truth.
VDC Coordination Programme
Weekly coordination sessions, clash detection, and issue resolution across all disciplines.
As-Built Digital Twin
LOD 500 as-built model attributed and structured to connect to the live BMS.
COBie Data Package
Full COBie dataset extracted from the model at handover.
What
What
“The model Neutec handed over wasn't just accurate — it was ready to plug straight into our building management system.”
