The hotel plans to have a suite with a 270 degree-view at the 16th floor.
Pinnacle worked on this project and provide the Constructability Review & Ceiling space calculation.

Details about the Project
Trades Covered: Structure, Architecture, MEP
Software Used: PDF-XChange Viewer & Excel
LOD: 300
Team Size: 6 Engineers
Project Area: 165,722 sq. ft.
Pinnacle start working on the project in October 2018 and ends at the same month.

Challenges Faced by Pinnacle
Pinnacle covers Architecture, MEP and Structure trade in this project. BIM is adding value to the construction industry by allowing greater pre-construction visualization. Pinnacle has offered BIM solutions to some iconic projects around the world. AC hotel Forth Worth is one such remarkable project. At Pinnacle, we strive to offer exact solutions to complex projects like AC Hotel Forth Worth. 


Scope of Work
Our scope of work involved reviewing architectural, structural, plumbing, electrical and mechanical constructability.

Examined following aspects to check constructability
•    We pay special attention to reviewing expansion joints, floor depression and other special conditions to make sure proper structural and architectural detail.
•    We also focus on column and shear wall vertical alignment with MEP
•    Beam Alignment with Block Wall, Gypsum Wall & Brick Wall
•    Column Size with Schedule and Layout
•    Beam Type & Size with Plans & Schedule

Pinnacle’s Value Addition
•    Pinnacle’s team resolved all major issues that would have led to conflict during construction pertaining to all related trades.
•    We saved coordination time by calculating ceiling space by using BIM 360 add-in.
Location: Texas, USA

How BIM Brings LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design (Green Building) to Construction?

Image
Mr. Biswaroop Todi, Global Vice President, Pinnacle Infotech discusses the power of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to bring LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design to Construction LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – the most extensively used green building rating system in the world provides a framework to craft efficient and cost-saving solution.   Consequently, the construction companies started implementing this universally acknowledged symbol of sustainability in their work process. However, a number of challenges are faced by Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms for bringing LEED V4 (the newest version of LEED) to construction. We will explore how BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technology helps to meet the criteria of LEED Credit Categories in a construction project, resolving the challenges of Environmental Factors, Water Scarcity, Resource Management, Long Material Lead Time, Benchmarking Energy Usage, Accurate Structural...
