Fairfield Inn
Hospitality Project- Architectural, Structural, MEP Modeling | MEP Coordination | 3D Rendering
Fairfield Inn & Suites, located in Williamstown, MA is a new development of a 56,000 SQFT with 95 rooms on a two-acre land. The three-story brick building of this hotel is designed to fit with the architecture of Williamstown. Hotel’s red brick building echoes with the architecture of North Berkshire’s historic mills. We were assigned with the task of BIM implementation during hotel construction project. We are proud to successfully execution of BIM process consisting BIM Modeling and Coordination throughout the project.

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.
