Client Overview

Our Europe-based client specializes in managing large-scale industrial properties, including warehouses and distribution centers. With a strong commitment to operational excellence and innovation, they sought to enhance the value and marketability of one of their key warehouse properties through advanced BIM modeling.

Their goal? To develop a highly detailed, LOD 350-compliant 3D model that would not only streamline property management but also serve as a powerful asset for resale or investment opportunities. They needed a solution that would provide unparalleled clarity into the property’s structural and MEP systems while ensuring precision and efficiency.

That’s where ProtoTech Solutions stepped in. Leveraging our expertise in Scan to BIM and parametric family creation, we delivered a meticulously detailed and visually compelling model, empowering our clients to maximize their property’s potential and maintain their reputation as a leader in industrial real estate.

Project Overview

  • Building Type: Warehouse
  • Level of Development (LOD): 350
  • Modeling Scope:
    • Exterior and Interior Walls
    • Doors, Windows, and Ventilators
    • Roof & Rooftop Units
    • Ceilings
    • Curtain Walls
    • All Exterior Installations
  • Family Creation: Parametric
    • Stairs
    • MEP Systems
    • Structural Components

Challenges

  • Complexity of Modeling: The project required extensive modeling based on point cloud data, a process that can be intricate and time-consuming, especially for architectural elements and MEP systems.
  • Ensuring Data Accuracy: Capturing precise point cloud data to create detailed architectural models was crucial.
  • Adapting MEP Systems Using Generic Families: The MEP elements needed to be modeled using generic families to accommodate the building’s existing systems.
  • Coordinating Across Multiple Teams: Managing the architecture, MEP, and structural teams while aligning with the client’s vision.

Solutions

  • Our team meticulously integrated point cloud data with architectural and structural elements, ensuring a high level of accuracy in the 3D model.
  • We employed advanced data validation techniques to cross-check the accuracy of point cloud inputs, ensuring a flawless 3D representation of the warehouse.
  • By utilizing flexible, generic families, we ensured seamless integration with the property’s current infrastructure without compromising accuracy.
  • We implemented regular progress updates, shared task tracking, and cross-team collaboration tools to streamline communication and ensure smooth project execution.

Benefits

  • Precision & Clarity: The Scan to BIM process resulted in a highly accurate 3D visualization of the warehouse, making architectural, structural, and MEP documentation effortless.
  • Seamless Communication: The detailed 3D model provided a clear, easy-to-understand representation of the building, improving communication with stakeholders and potential buyers.
  • Enhanced Marketability: The ability to showcase a data-rich, visually appealing model significantly boosted the property’s value, making it a highly attractive asset for investors and buyers.
  • Efficient Renovation & Resale: Future modifications and resales became streamlined, as buyers and renovation teams could quickly assess the building’s condition without needing additional surveys.
