Project Brief

BuildHub was engaged to provide BIM coordination services for the Oceanside Community Park project. Located in the heart of San Diego, this project aimed to revitalize a 10-acre space with features including a children’s play area, a dog park, walking trails, an amphitheater, and extensive landscaping. Our BIM execution plan ensured successful collaboration across multiple disciplines, including landscape architecture, civil engineering, and structural design.

Project Challenges

Pacific Coast Builders faced significant complexities while bringing this ambitious project to life:

Cross-disciplinary Coordination

Integrating the work of landscape architects, civil engineers, and MEP engineers proved complex due to the variety of park features and systems. Ensuring smooth communication and alignment across these disciplines was essential to avoid design conflicts and delays.

Complex Interplay of Park Elements

The park’s diverse elements—such as pathways, utilities, recreational areas, and landscaping—required intricate planning and coordination. Accurate 3D modeling was critical to ensure each component fit seamlessly within the overall design and functioned as intended.

Clash Detection Concerns

With numerous underground utilities and overlapping systems, identifying and resolving potential clashes was vital. Any unresolved conflicts between park elements could have led to costly rework and project delays during construction.

Efficient Resource and Time Management

Managing a large number of contractors and subcontractors on-site while maintaining strict timelines and quality standards was a significant challenge. Efficient scheduling and resource allocation were crucial to avoid disruptions and ensure the project remained on track.

BuildHub's Solution

BuildHub was engaged to offer a comprehensive BIM solution to overcome the project’s challenges, focusing on enhancing collaboration and efficiency across disciplines. Our solution included:

Data Integration
We began by consolidating all project data, including topographical surveys, architectural designs, and MEP layouts, into a unified 3D BIM model. This integration provided a single source of truth for all stakeholders, minimizing the risk of errors due to miscommunication.
Detailed BIM Modeling
Our team developed highly detailed 3D BIM models for every aspect of the park, from the terrain and structures to utilities, landscaping, and hardscape elements. The model adhered to LOD 300 standards, providing a precise representation of each element’s design and functionality.
Clash Detection and Resolution
Using Autodesk Navisworks and Solibri Model Checker, we conducted an extensive clash detection process to identify over 250 potential conflicts between park elements (e.g., underground utilities crossing with landscaping features). Early resolution of these issues prevented costly rework and construction delays.
4D Simulation for Construction Planning
The 4D BIM simulation provided by BuildHub gave Pacific Coast Builders a dynamic construction timeline, allowing them to visualise the progression of the project over time. This simulation was instrumental in optimising resource allocation, sequencing tasks, and ensuring that deadlines were met.
Advanced Visualization
Using Autodesk 3ds Max and Lumion, we created compelling visualisations to communicate the park's design to stakeholders and the community. These visuals helped secure approvals and provided a clear understanding of the final outcome.
