Introduction
/Our brief > Design, 3D modelling, coordination and data management for the retrofit and extension of a locally listed building.
/RIBA Stages > 1 to 5.
Challenges
/Challenge 02 > Update the consented design to better preserve the existing features and make the best use of an existing built asset.
/Challenge 03 > Communicate the complexity of the interactions between heritage and design to all stakeholders.
Solutions
/Design tool > We coded a bespoke design tool – CloudTool – in GDL scripting language to easily manipulate the E57 point cloud in Archicad.
/BIMx > We used Graphisoft’s BIMx platform to export our digital twin for visualisation by the project team, the client and the Local Planning Authority in 2D, 3D and data formats.
Results
/All 2D, 3D and data construction information extracted directly from the digital twin, including quantities, doors schedule, windows schedules, U-values, etc.
/An easy and free to navigate digital twin via the BIMx platform.
/The BIM model has been instrumental in discussing the heritage-led design with Runnymede Borough Council and its Planning Committee (direct exchange during the pre-submission discussions).
