Project Duration: 1.5 weeks

Task Assigned

Uppteam was involved in a project to deliver remote structural engineering design support for a prevailing single-story building, along with a new residential addition. The scope of this project emphasized supporting the structural specifications for the expansion. Another key aspect of the project was to integrate the structural requirements with the existing structure. Our team’s responsibilities comprised the structural design and detailing of beams, walls, and columns necessary for the renovation and new addition of the prefabricated roof trusses.

Project Timeline

  • Phase 1 - The first phase consisted of developing the structural design of roof connectors, walls, beams, and columns for the renovation and new addition to the existing infrastructure
  • Phase 2 - In this phase, our team prepared structural drawings and construction-ready details.
  • Phase 3 - The task in the final phase was to model coordination and documentation management within the Revit 360 platform.

Additional Notes

  • This project’s scope was quite straightforward because of its residential nature. However, delivering the project within the stipulated time was the main challenge. The project was handled by a competent internal team using Revit 360 workflows.
  • To deal with the project-related tasks, we established tailored project standards within the Revit 360 environment, accessed through ACC, to simplify coordination and documentation. Essential 2D structural details were also generated and uploaded into the CMS system, enabling effective reuse in future residential projects.
  • Uppteam delivered the project successfully on time. In addition to satisfying immediate project needs, this project led to the creation of a reusable BIM workflow for subsequent residential engagements.
