The construction process involves a delicate interplay between architectural, structural, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEPF) disciplines. While each domain possesses specialized expertise, independent work often leads to unforeseen clashes in designs. These clashes, ranging from physical obstructions to logistical conflicts, can significantly impact project timelines, budgets, and overall quality.

โข Hard Clashes: These occur when physical components occupy the same space due to geometric errors. Examples include a duct intersecting a pipe or an air conditioner unit passing through a wall.
โข Soft Clashes: Also known as clearance clashes, these involve insufficient space for MEP installations, compromising functionality and maintenance access.
โข Work-Flow Clashes: These 4D clashes pertain to scheduling conflicts, material delivery delays, and equipment availability, potentially disrupting the entire construction process.

1. BIM Coordination for Battersea Power Station
Battersea Power Station is a legendary landmark in the London Borough of Wands worth that has been transformed into a 7-floor residential apartment. Its surroundings have been recently redesigned and brought back to life.
Teslaโs project responsibilities included BIM Services2, Coordination, and shop drawing creation for the residential apartment with seven floors. The modeling was carried out at LOD 350, which is the minimum requirement for efficient coordination and producing shop drawings.
Initially, the project was limited to tagging. The project underwent various design changes, resulting in modeling and coordination modifications. Tesla had to accommodate these changes in the model in a short time while re-coordinating with other teams.
2. Development of complete BIM coordinated model for an apartment
Teslaโs scope was to develop architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing model along with MEP installation drawings after the coordination process of all disciplines. The building was a residential apartment consisting of 8 floors above ground + Roof + 2 Basements with an area of 7, 00,000 square feet.
The team consisted of 10 architects and structural BIM modelers, and 10 MEP BIM engineers and modelers. They converted the input drawings and related information into detail-rich architectural, structural, and MEP models. After the models were created, they performed coordination between MEP services and other disciplines. Post coordination, a complete set of MEP Installation Drawings with architectural background was developed.
The biggest challenge Tesla faced during this project was the turnaround time. Significant design changes were required to coordinate the models which put a strain on the already short deadline. Moreover, the project deadline was preponed mid-way. This was brilliantly handled by Tesla who ultimately delivered the project in 200 working days against the initial commitment of 300 working days.
Teslaโs exceptional delivery and the ability to handle unforeseen changes during the course of the project won over the client, which resulted in the client rewarded Tesla with a 20% additional fee and bonus and extending the project cooperations to the Phase II of the same building.
3. Revit Modeling Services for a Community Center and Commercial Building
Tesla developed 3D BIM models for architecture, structure, and MEP for a community center and a commercial building. The goal was to create a fully coordinated MEP model and extract detailed installation drawings.
Tesla encountered numerous clashes during the coordination process, which required iterative revisions based on client feedback. Despite the phased input, Tesla successfully delivered the project on time and met the client's expectations.
Tesla's Revit Modeling Services effectively addressed the challenges of BIM coordination for a community center and a commercial building. We developed 3D architecture, structure, and MEP models, successfully resolving numerous clashes through iterative revisions and client feedback. This resulted in a fully coordinated MEP model and the extraction of detailed installation drawings, all delivered on time and to the client's satisfaction.
