Royal Columbian Hospital | Fraser Health

My work on Royal Columbian Hospital began with my Regional BIM Role providing oversight onto the agreements being made around BIM delivery. This project was unique since it was the first one for the Fraser Health Authority to have their new relationship with Summit BIM, a BIM consultant group in Canada. This project was to kick off the Fraser's road to full life cycle BIM and intelligent Facilities Maintenance. 

Mechanical and Structural Coordination

My role grew from BIM oversight into being the lead for digital agreements on the team with Bird Construction and Stantec. Outside of that, my rendering abilities were also leveraged with the newly available Enscape rendering tool for Revit. The rendering work turned into updating families across the project so any portion of it could be visualized with the real time rendering engine that Enscape provided.

We explored new coordination technology from Revizto on this project. While I can't see it was a "cultural" success within the large and diverse set of teams it was certainly a good proof of concept for the project leaders. Fraser Health and Bird liked so much they both became clients of the software and we continue to discuss how it could be built into the project workflow better on future projects.

I keep a relationship with BIM TOPiCS Lab at UBC with Dr. Sheryl Staub-French where she sends her bright students to intern with me. Jatin Maheshwary was one of those students who took a deep dive into automating BIM Compliance and Management under my and Ryan's supervision for RCH.

This was a project I helped with Rendering and adding intelligence to a Window Wall system. Window Walls are difficult to do in Revit without custom family building since the Curtain Wall tool is centric to identifying individual panels and mullions instead of a panel module of the two. 

The custom family I built enabled the team to have an intelligent window wall family that could be typed to the manufacturing specifications and continue iterations of design with the quantities of each automatically appearing on a sheet schedule. This was especially useful for this project that was budget conscious and going through many series of estimations. 

In addition to adding intelligence to the BIM environment, this was one of the first projects I played with Esncape on. Enscape is a real time render engine that loads within Revit and allows for change on the fly renderings.
