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. Our team embedded within the design and construction programme, managing the federated model environment and running weekly coordination sessions with architects, structural engineers, and MEP consultants.
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.
Where
What
Five-Stage Design Evolution
The federated model had to stay coherent as the design moved from RIBA Stage 2 through practical completion, across multiple design freezes.
Multi-Consultant Alignment
Architects, structural engineers, and MEP consultants each worked to different modelling conventions that had to reconcile inside one environment.
Digital Twin Readiness
The as-built model needed structuring and attribution precise enough to connect directly to a live building management system, not just to represent geometry.
Handover Data Completeness
A full COBie dataset had to be extracted covering every asset and maintenance record the facilities team would need from day one.
How
Embed in the Design Team
Our team worked inside the design and construction programme rather than at arm's length, running the federated model environment throughout.
Coordinate Every Week
Weekly coordination sessions with architecture, structure, and MEP kept the model resolved continuously rather than in end-of-stage pushes.
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 for all design disciplines.
VDC Coordination Programme
Weekly coordination sessions, clash detection, and issue resolution across architecture, structure, and MEP.
As-Built Digital Twin
LOD 500 as-built model attributed and structured to connect to the live BMS for real-time monitoring.
COBie Data Package
Full COBie dataset extracted from the model at handover, covering all assets, components, and maintenance data.
What
What
“The model Neutec handed over wasn't just accurate — it was ready to plug straight into our building management system. That's not something we'd had happen before on a project this size.”
