Clash-Free MEPF Model for 6-Story, 340K Sq. Ft. Facility
Project Summary: A BIM manager overseeing an ongoing renovation of a 6-story healthcare facility in Indiana, US, needed a fully coordinated 3D MEPF model to keep the project on track. The client engaged Gsource to create architectural, structural, and MEPF models directly from the provided inputs, including point cloud data, equipment cut sheets, and a video walkthrough of the existing facility, and then to coordinate the disciplines. As a result, the client received a fully coordinated, clash-free MEPF model and a clash detection report that validated the model and kept the renovation on schedule.

What We Delivered
What the Client Needs
The client had little room for error on a renovation of this scale and needed a single, coordinated model that the design and construction teams could work from directly, without second-guessing. In particular, the manager needed the Revit model to:
- Reflect existing conditions with high-precision detailing from the point cloud data, supported by the video walkthrough, even where lighting and resolution in the inputs were inconsistent.
- Coordinate MEPF systems within restricted ceiling voids, aligned with architectural and structural elements.
- Include custom Revit families based on equipment cut sheets and specifications.
- Detect and resolve clashes comprehensively in high-density mechanical spaces through iterative coordination.
Gsource's Approach
Gsource worked directly from the client's inputs and followed the approach below to create a highly coordinated MEPF BIM model.
- 01 Aligned point cloud data with Revit and referenced the video walkthrough of the existing facility to develop an accurate base for modeling.
- 02Modeled the architectural, structural, and MEPF disciplines directly from the point cloud data and video walkthrough.
- 03Created custom Revit families from equipment cut sheets to reflect real-world geometry, fittings, and manufacturer specifications.
- 04Coordinated the architectural, structural, and MEPF models in Navisworks, running iterative clash detection until the model was clash-free.
- 05Delivered a clash detection report documenting that iterative coordination resolved all major interferences.
Deliverables
The client received:| Item | Sheets | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Clash-free MEPF model (LOD 350) coordinated with the architectural and structural models developed from the same inputs | - | - |
| Clash detection report | - | - |
Final formats: RVT, PDF, and NWD.
The Outcome
By engaging with Gsource, the client received a fully coordinated, construction-ready MEPF model on schedule, without adding staff or stretching the internal team. The client's design and construction teams worked directly from the model to move the renovation forward as planned.
Client Says
"We couldn't afford to stretch our own team thin for this renovation, so we needed a partner who could carry the coordination independently. What came back was precise, dependable, and aligned with our existing conditions from the outset."
