BIM from concept to CNC information for a modular residential system

A model-based workflow connecting parametric concept development with permit, coordination, construction, quantity, wall-design and CNC-oriented deliverables.

Project story

The package, the work and the delivery focus.

A model-based workflow connecting parametric concept development with permit, coordination, construction, quantity, wall-design and CNC-oriented deliverables.

We worked from the project stage and agreed scope to plan what needed to be modeled, drawn, coordinated and checked. The views below show how the information came together.

Project notes

Scope, process and project context.

01

What we worked with

A Revit coordination view with a documented mechanical clearance clash and a developed exterior model of the modular structural and enclosure system.

02

What the work demonstrates

The screenshot makes the coordination work visible: it links a specific building-services issue to the wider modular model and construction-information workflow.

03

Our scope

We supported design development and coordination of the modular system shown. Fabrication and installation formed part of the wider project delivery.

  5. 05Panel-wall and CNC cut-sheet information
  6. 06Quantity takeoff and progress tracking

How we handled the work

From project challenge to a reviewable package.

01 · Challenge

A modular residential system had to carry one design idea across concept, approvals, coordination, quantities, panel information and CNC-oriented outputs.

02 · Approach

We used the model as the shared working base, developed stage-appropriate information and made building-services conflicts visible while the modular system was still being coordinated.

03 · Result

The project links a developed modular model to a specific coordination issue and shows how model information can continue toward construction and off-site production.

Delivery strengths used on this project
  • One model-based workflow across several project stages
  • Coordination across architecture, building services and civil information
  • Connection between design intent, approvals, construction and off-site production
