Even the small buildings benefit from BIM

Can you identify the 4 issues in this corner of the 4,500 sq.ft. library at Little Mountain?:

and the answer is...

1.  Exposed fire protection pipe.
2.  Light fixture in the path of the projector image.
3.  Light fixture in sloped soffit.
4.  Wall diffuser in soffit.

Footing influence

Quite often the underground utilities are designed to run close to the building.  Structural engineers require utilities to stay out of the area of influence or angle of repose from the structural building footings.  Combining the civil layout for utilities with the structural "no fly zones" in BIM has proved to be extremely helpful in the site utility coordination for the Little Mountain project.
