Plantroom & Services BIM Coordination for a Data Center Project in Australia

Project Snapshot • Project type: Data Center • Location: Australia • Client type: EPC / Builder • Project phase: Design + Construction • BIM services: Plantroom and services coordination, constructibility-focused BIM • Disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEPF • Software: Revit, Navisworks, ACC The Challenge • The project included highly congested plant rooms with limited space for equipment, services, and maintenance access • Strict access, clearance, and maintainability requirements increased coordination complexity • Design changes and equipment constraints created risk of late-stage redesign • The client required BIM to support constructibility and access certainty before installation Our BIM Approach • Developed LOD 350–400 BIM models focused on plant rooms and high-risk service zones • Established a zone-based BIM Execution Plan to manage complex interfaces and access requirements • Performed detailed access, clearance, and maintainability clash checks • Produced install-ready coordinated sections and views for site and subcontractor use • Maintained close alignment with the builder to resolve spatial constraints early Results & Impact • Optimised plant room layouts prior to installation • Reduced late-stage redesign and coordination iterations • Improved installation confidence and site efficiency • Lowered risk of access and maintenance conflicts post-installation Value Delivered • Delivered high-risk MEP coordination expertise for mission-critical environments • Reduced construction and operational risk through early spatial validation • Supported efficient delivery under tight spatial constraints • Demonstrated strong capability in data center plant room BIM coordination
