Hospital design

BIM boosts both savings and efficiency

Project summary
MaineGeneral Medical Center used Building Information Modeling (BIM) for structural, architectural, and electrical disciplines during a build-out of its health-care facility in Augusta, Maine. The team used Autodesk BIM solutions to coordinate a dispersed team working on the project, viewing clash detection and addressing problems with all disciplines represented.

Coordinate disciplines
A model-based approach helps keep the data consistent, which makes it easier for designers and engineers to coordinate all elements of the design.

Work more efficiently
A model-based workflow combined with mobile technology means that workers can access data anywhere, anytime. That results in savings and efficiency when employees process a work order in the field.

Support building management
MaineGeneral plans to integrate the model with facility management systems to track assets over the building lifecycle. Viewer integration enables owners to use the original model to visualize future renovations and additions.
