Project Overview
BIM Services for KAFD Commercial Project
For the KAFD project in the King Abdullah Financial District, Saudi Arabia, the client needed a well-coordinated BIM model for a commercial building, especially for the basement levels. Since the scope covered multiple basement floors, accuracy and coordination were really important from the start.
Developing Coordinated BIM Models for KAFD Basements
We worked on LOD 400 BIM models for basement levels B1 to B5, covering architectural, mechanical, and electrical systems. Using Autodesk Revit, the focus was to keep everything aligned so different systems don’t clash with each other.
Clash-Free Coordination and Execution Support in KAFD
With the help of Autodesk Navisworks, we checked and resolved clashes early, which made things much smoother during construction. The final models also supported shop drawings and gave the site team better clarity for execution.

Project Challenges
High LOD 400 Detailing Requirements
Developing construction-level BIM models with full system detailing required strict modeling standards and quality control.
Multi-Disciplinary Coordination
Coordinating Architectural, Mechanical, and Electrical systems within confined basement spaces was technically complex.
Dense MEP Services in Basement Levels
Basement levels B1 to B5 had congested ductwork, piping, and electrical systems requiring precise routing and clearance management.
Clash Detection and Resolution
Identifying and resolving clashes between multiple disciplines demanded detailed federated models and iterative coordination.
Constructability Validation
Ensuring services were installable on-site required constructability reviews and design optimization.
Coordination Drawing Accuracy
Producing accurate coordination and shop drawings required high model consistency and documentation precision.
