Clash-Free 3D MEPF Model Delivered for a 6-Storey Healthcare Facility

Key Challenges

• Modeling from point cloud and video files demanded high attention to detail due to inconsistent lighting and resolution in some parts of the input.

• The hospital’s complex MEP layout, especially within restricted ceiling voids, required detailed coordination with architectural and structural elements.

• Revit families provided were generic and needed to be updated based on equipment cutsheets and specifications.

• Identifying and resolving multiple clashes in high-density mechanical spaces such as plant rooms and service corridors required iterative checks and client coordination.

Approaches and Solutions

• Point cloud data and video footage were carefully aligned in Revit to develop an accurate base for modeling.

• Custom Revit families were created or updated per cutsheets to reflect real-world geometry, fittings, and manufacturer specifications.

• Using Navisworks, all architectural, structural, and MEP models were federated and thoroughly reviewed for clashes.

• A clash detection report was generated, and iterative coordination resolved all major interferences.

• The team maintained open lines of communication with the client for timely clarification and alignment.
