Case Study: Structural BIM Delivery for Educational & Religious Facilities in New York, USA
Project Overview
Case Study: Structural BIM Delivery for Educational & Religious Facilities in New York, USA
Collanolly Engineering partnered with our BIM team to deliver high-precision Structural BIM Modeling and Drafting services for the Ossining School (Phase 1 & Phase 3) and Sikh Temple NYC projects in New York, USA. Spanning over 1 million sq. ft., these large-scale developments combined complex educational and religious infrastructure requirements, demanding highly coordinated and construction-ready BIM deliverables. Our scope included complete LOD 400 structural modeling, detailed shop drawings, and multidisciplinary coordination using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360). Through advanced BIM workflows, we ensured accurate structural detailing, seamless collaboration, reduced clashes, and efficient project execution, helping streamline construction activities while maintaining high standards of quality and precision.
The Challenge
What made this project complex
The client required high-precision structural BIM delivery for two major projects in New York with strict compliance to US structural codes and coordination across multiple disciplines.
Key challenges included:
Large-scale model management across 10L+ sq. ft.
LOD 400 construction-level detailing
Multi-disciplinary coordination on cloud platform
Structural validation for seismic and wind loading
Tight delivery timelines aligned with US timezone
