Federated architectural and MEP modelling for a twin-tower residential development on Abu Dhabi's Corniche.
Residential
A twin-tower residential development on Abu Dhabi's Corniche required federated architectural and MEP modelling from design development through to construction documentation. Our scope covered the full architectural BIM model authoring, MEP coordination, and VDC programme management across both towers.
Where
Two Towers, One Deadline
Both towers had to reach construction documentation at the same time, doubling the modelling workload.
Repetition Needed Systematic Handling
High levels of floor plate repetition needed parametric workflows to avoid duplicating manual effort across 40+ floors.
No BIM Authoring Capacity In-House
The design team had the design intent but no in-house resource to author and maintain the BIM models.
MEP Had to Coordinate in the Model
The developer needed MEP coordination completed in the BIM model, not managed through 2D drawing review.
A look inside the project.
Where
What
Scale of the Programme
Authoring and coordinating two 400-key towers simultaneously required a systematic rather than ad-hoc approach.
Repetition Without Error Propagation
Parametric floor plate repetition had to be managed carefully to avoid propagating errors across all floors.
MEP in Tight Ceiling Zones
Residential ceiling zones left minimal coordination space, requiring MEP routing to be resolved precisely in the model.
Construction Documentation from Model
All construction drawings had to be extracted directly from the BIM model, putting model quality under direct commercial pressure.
How
Build Once, Repeat Systematically
A parametric floor plate workflow was established so the standard floor could be built once and propagated correctly.
Coordinate MEP in Model
All MEP coordination was completed in the federated BIM model before any construction drawings were issued.
Run Both Towers in Parallel
Both towers were modelled simultaneously by a structured team, with shared coordination sessions and clash reviews.
Extract Drawings Directly
All construction documentation was generated directly from the BIM model, eliminating the need for a separate drawing production workflow.
What
Federated Architectural Model
LOD 400 architectural BIM model for both towers, coordinated against structural and MEP disciplines.
Coordinated MEP Model
Full MEP coordination completed in the federated model across all floor zones.
Construction Drawing Package
Complete construction documentation extracted directly from the BIM model.
VDC Programme Record
Programme management record covering model submissions, coordination sessions, and clash resolution history.
What
What
“Neutec handled the scale of two towers simultaneously without losing coordination quality on either. The documentation came out of the model clean.”
