A highly complex and challenging project
The project involved construction of a large concrete framed structure; coordination and installation of complex services and systems; detailed fitout, fixture installation and finishes work; the procurement and installation of extensive major medical equipment (MME); various façade systems & finishes and a range of external works.
The design of all elements was supported through the use of a federated Building Information Model (BIM), which detected clashes of services in the design documentation and enabled a range of complex spatial issues to be resolved.
