Fast track to delivering
quality care
The project was fast-tracked by
beginning construction as the drawings
progressed. This concurrent design and
construction process was enhanced
with the use of building information
modeling. Through the implementation
of a 3-D model, developed with Revit,
the project team was able to anticipate
constructability problems before they
became an issue.

multi-specialty
outpatient facilities,
often referred to as
medical malls, are a
newly emerging
concept in U.S.
healthcare as medical
centers adapt to the
increasing demands
from patients for more
accessible, more
effi cient healthcare
options.
Building information
modeling supports
inoperability between
design and fabrication.
"This silo-based approach has led owners to
gravitate toward a more Integrated Project
Delivery with a single point of responsibility
and a more enhanced predictability of
outcome. The process ensures the owner
receives a well-designed project, on
time, on budget and litigation free."
