Boston Hotel - 3D Modeling and MEP Coordination

Effective BIM execution during the heritage hotel remodeling- 3D BIM modeling of architectural and MEP designs and coordination   About Project When you set to redesign a 100+ years old heritage hotel, you know it's going be a challenging task. This remodeling project demanded accurate mapping of the existing building, creating of demolition plan and drawings and then redesigning of the new construction. Creating accurate As-build drawings required significant coordination between the cross-design models. The structure is a 5-story building with around 150 rooms into the new design. MEP coordination becomes a critical and important aspect of this project while remodeling any old structure.   BIM Services Provided: BIM 3D Mod... More
