Challenges & Solutions

A. Challenge - Design Mismatch - 1. Diffuser Inlet Size & Duct Size are not matching between design plan and mechanical schedule2. Stair Pressurization riser duct size mismatch between 1st, 2nd Floor & 3rd Floor - In the 1st Floor duct size - 26x10, in the 2nd Floor duct size - 16x16 and in the 3rd Floor, duct size - 28x12 Solution - Requested client to review and suggest on the sameB. Challenge - Coordination Problem - 1. As per FCU generic model extracted from Revit model, SA duct was coming from top outlet of FCU and clashing with SLAB due to space constrain Solution - Requested client to review the reference drawing and suggest on the samec. Challenge - Missing Information1. In third floor plan, there was no water connection for FCUs2. Moreover, routing for condensate drain pipe was not found Solution - Requested client to provide the missing information

1. Using BIM, the Pinnacle team searched and selected alternatives that meet project requirements, discovering and solving issues at an early stage, saving time, eliminating rework, improving quality and allowing everyone on the project team to be successful2. The effective application of BIM reaped benefits throughout the life cycle of the project 3. Pinnacle’s approach to virtual construction with BIM created the opportunity to identify problems earlier in the building process and facilitate BIM team to find better ways to communicate ideas, reducing errors and improving

productivity4. Newforma was used to streamline project communication5. BIM ensured that the information related to design and construction activities flow seamlessly among all stakeholders involved in the project through simple exchange of models and data, so that team members can ensure accurate and complete information. This delivered a range of benefits, including simplified product selection, robust design solutions, automatic clash avoidance and effective team work
