With a Project This Size, Efficiency Is Key

We led early coordination efforts between the architect, structural engineer and subcontractors in order to design and install a fully-integrated structural system and identify all mechanical penetrations needed. The BIM model facilitated coordination among the various trades so that on-site changes were minimized.
Given the repetition of the units, we developed physical mock ups of every critical building system, including a full-scale unit mechanical room. This meant that solving the coordination effort once meant we solved it 300 times over.
