Taking BIM to the next level

Blog

1 July 2015

QODA has long been advocates for BIM and the benefits it brings to construction. The opportunities for coordination and clash detection are generally accepted as are the benefits of scheduling cost management. These are all tasks that are aimed to make our life easier – “proper design”, minimal change and efficient construction.

A recent scheme at Rose Hill Community Centre has been limited to 49kW (rather than the 62kWp planned) due to network equipment issues at the main Cowley substation. It appears this is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem around the country as the antiquated National Grid was never designed for the power flows caused by the proliferation of micro generation. ...
