This meant that despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the building was completed within the original budget and timescales.
For example, we provided highly detailed 4D simulations, which allowed the client to understand how the complex MEP systems, manufactured off-site, were to be installed. Four videos detailing plant installation in the basement, riser installation, typical floor MEP installation and plant positioning on the roof allowed the contractor to understand the best install sequence.
The benefit of this approached saved fourteen weeks of the program.
Further activity enabled by the model included the creation of a virtual environment with the Unreal Engine gaming tool, which allowed the building owner to understand and demonstrate views from the terraces to prospective tenants before the building’s completion, and while people weren’t comfortable or able to visit in-person.
