The Challenge

A 10-story hospital tower addition in an active, operational hospital campus demanded that VDC coordination minimize any disruption to patient care. Laser scanning of the existing structure was critical and the complex MEP systems for patient rooms zero-tolerance coordination.

Our Approach

The team used laser scanning and Scan-to-BIM to establish an as-built Revit base model. The federated model brought structural and MEP systems together for coordination. A Synchro 4D model supported review of construction phases around occupied hospital zones.

Outcome

The documented scope comprised an as-built Revit model, federated MEP coordination and a 4D phasing review. Scanner model, scan totals and resolved-clash counts are omitted until the project records can establish a consistent basis.

Oncology Research Building

Led VDC for a 5-story, 100,000 SF oncology research building at a major academic medical institution, where laboratory MEP systems demand a higher level of coordination precision than standard commercial construction. Laser scanning documented existing site conditions to support accurate tie-in modeling and conflict-free installation sequencing. Multi-discipline coordination in Navisworks covered the full range of MEP systems including fume hoods, lab exhaust, specialty gases, and clean utilities specific to research environments. Constructability reviews and a 4D construction model were delivered to support the phased construction program.

Biomedical Research Institute

Led VDC for a 5-story, 70,000 SF biomedical research facility expansion requiring precise coordination of laboratory MEP systems including clean-room HVAC, specialty exhaust, and controlled environment utilities. New construction connections to the existing facility structure were modeled and coordinated to ensure structural and MEP tie-ins were conflict-free before installation. Laser scanning documented the existing building conditions to inform accurate as-built modeling and conflict detection at the expansion interface. A 4D construction model and constructability reviews were delivered to support the phased construction schedule and minimize disruption to active research operations.

Academic Medical Center

Led the Scan-to-BIM program for a $150M academic medical center, converting laser scan point clouds into accurate as-built Revit models for use in renovation and expansion design. QA/QC was performed by comparing the as-built model against the registered point cloud to verify dimensional accuracy and flag deviations requiring design coordination. Ongoing coordination between BIM and construction teams ensured models were kept current as field conditions evolved, with clash views and coordination points generated to resolve conflicts between existing and new construction. The as-built Revit model served as the authoritative reference for MEP routing, structural tie-ins, and construction documentation throughout the project.
