Multifamily Residential And Retail Complex Project

Challenges:

The major challenge was to learn, understand and pass on to our team members the Belgium codes and standards of BIM modelling along with Dutch construction terminologies. Furthermore, PGT had started creating the Structural model at an earlier stage when a Structural Engineer was not finalized for the project. Thus, we had to use Preliminary Architectural drawings to identify, interpret and create a Structural model keeping in mind the possibility of revisions to avoid future rework as much as possible.

Solutions: 

PGT is involved in working alongside customers and suggesting better/more effective ways of performing tasks wherever and whenever possible. Along with this, PGT is also involved in communicating if any standard/code in the project file does not meet the Belgium Standards, keeping the time deadlines on the schedule.
