Inside Our BIM Success Story for a Mixed-Use Development in Boston
At United-BIM, we are committed to transforming the construction process with cutting-edge technology, and our recent work on an apartment project in Boston, MA is a perfect example of this.
We provided comprehensive MEP-FP/FA BIM Modeling and Coordination Services for a mixed-use development, which includes 3,200 sq. ft. of retail space and 139 residential units within a 5-story building. Our role was to ensure the precise integration of all MEP systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire alarm systems, through advanced Revit modeling.
By employing industry-standard tools like Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, and Procore, we were able to deliver accurate, clash-free BIM models at LOD 350/400, saving time, reducing errors, and optimizing the workflow. The project required extensive on-site and off-site BIM coordination to guarantee smooth communication across teams and stakeholders.
Our deliverables included coordinated MEP-FP/FA Revit models, clash detection reports, and participation in regular virtual and on-site meetings, ensuring that every phase of the project was aligned. This proactive approach enabled us to tackle issues before they became costly problems, all while adhering to timelines and staying within budget.
Why BIM? The BIM process enabled better decision-making, improved sustainability through energy-efficient planning, and ensured that the building systems were integrated seamlessly. The collaborative nature of BIM fostered transparency and alignment across the design and construction teams, resulting in a more efficient and streamlined process.
