The largest government co-location project in NZ’s history required an integrated BIM approach
Te Omeka - Christchurch Justice and Emergency Services Precinct - Advanced BIM
A digital design showcase
The project showcased the full range of BIM services, including a detailed level of resolution to LOD400, 3D visualisation and clash detection, BIM process documentation, modular design and construction, digital prototyping and off-site prefabricated construction, real-time cloud-based collaboration and BIM issue tracking and digital set-up and scan-to-BIM modelling.
Bringing BIM to life
The federated model was used to bring the design to life with more than 200 end users digitally experiencing the spaces that they would occupy. On site the model was used as a true digital twin, used to set out the building then verified from onsite back into the model with millimetre accuracy.
A ‘BIM Cave’ on site also enabled foremen and trade leads to walk through complex problems of the day to ensure they could guide their workers and understand the complexities of the building.
The precinct has been designed to IL4 standard, ensuring that it will withstand significant seismic events and remain in operation to provide central services to the Christchurch community.
