Education BIM Modeling

Al Khawaneej School

UAE

Project Overview

Al Khawaneej School in Dubai is a large-scale educational facility developed across G+3 floors with an approximate built-up area of 70,000 m².

The project required BIM implementation across multiple disciplines to support design coordination, construction delivery, working drawing production, and as-built documentation.

With a fast-track delivery program and multiple disciplines requiring coordination, a structured BIM workflow was essential to maintain consistency across the design and construction stages.

OneClick BIM supported the project through BIM management, multi-discipline modelling, clash detection, construction documentation, and the development of an LOD 500 as-built BIM model.

OneClick BIM's Scope

OneClick BIM supported the project with BIM management and coordination across the architectural, structural and MEP disciplines.

The project scope included:

  • BIM Management & Project Coordination

  • LOD 300 BIM Modelling

  • LOD 400 BIM Modelling

  • Multi-Discipline BIM Coordination

  • Clash Detection & Resolution

  • Working Drawing Production

  • Coordinated Construction Drawings

  • Construction-Phase BIM Support

  • LOD 500 As-Built BIM Model Development

  • Model Validation for Future Facility Reference

The BIM model provided a coordinated digital environment for aligning multiple disciplines throughout the design and construction process.

Key Challenge

The primary challenge was coordinating a large institutional project within a fast-track delivery environment, where architectural, structural and MEP systems needed to be developed, reviewed and documented within a compressed schedule.

Maintaining coordination between disciplines was particularly important as the project progressed from design development to construction and ultimately to as-built documentation.

OneClick BIM addressed these requirements through structured BIM management, multi-discipline model coordination, early clash detection and progressive model development from LOD 300 and LOD 400 through to LOD 500.

OneClick BIM's Workflow

BIM Management & Project Setup

Project inputs and discipline-specific design information were reviewed to establish the BIM coordination requirements and modelling workflow.

Multi-Discipline BIM Modelling

Architectural, structural and MEP information was developed into coordinated LOD 300 and LOD 400 BIM models.

Clash Detection & Coordination

The multidisciplinary models were reviewed to identify clashes and coordination issues between architectural, structural and MEP systems.

Model-Based Drawing Production

Working drawings and coordinated construction drawings were generated from the BIM environment to support construction execution.

Construction-Phase BIM Support

The BIM model was updated and coordinated as the project progressed through construction, maintaining alignment between project information and site requirements.

LOD 500 As-Built Development

The model was updated and validated to develop the final LOD 500 as-built BIM model for future facility reference.

Final BIM Delivery

OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated BIM and construction documentation package for Al Khawaneej School.

The final deliverables included LOD 300 and LOD 400 BIM models, coordinated construction drawings, working drawings and an LOD 500 as-built BIM model.

The completed model provided a structured digital representation of the facility and supported design coordination, construction-phase decision-making, as-built documentation and future facility reference.

PROJECT DETAILS & WORKFLOW

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BIM for schools? +

BIM for schools is the use of coordinated 3D models to plan, design and build educational facilities. For Al Khawaneej School in Dubai, OneClick BIM used BIM management and multi-discipline modelling across architecture, structure and MEP for the 70,000 m² G+3 campus.

Why should schools and universities use BIM? +

Schools are large, complex buildings where many systems must work together. BIM keeps architectural, structural and MEP information coordinated in one digital environment, which supports design coordination, construction delivery and future facility management.

What is clash detection in BIM? +

Clash detection finds places where building systems would conflict before construction starts. On this project, the multidisciplinary models were reviewed to identify clashes and coordination issues between architectural, structural and MEP systems, and each clash was resolved in the model.

What is the difference between LOD 300, LOD 400 and LOD 500? +

LOD 300 models show accurate geometry for design coordination, LOD 400 adds fabrication-level detail for construction, and LOD 500 records the building as actually built. This project progressed from LOD 300 and LOD 400 modelling through to a validated LOD 500 as-built model.

What is an as-built BIM model used for after handover? +

An as-built model is a reliable digital reference of the finished facility. The LOD 500 as-built model for this school was validated for future facility reference, supporting maintenance, renovations and long-term facility management.

How does BIM help on fast-track construction projects? +

On fast-track programs, work overlaps and schedules are compressed, so coordination mistakes are costly. Here, structured BIM management, early clash detection and progressive model development kept architectural, structural and MEP systems aligned from design through construction.

Can BIM models be used for permit drawings? +

Yes. Drawings generated from a coordinated model carry the same verified information as the model itself. On this project, working drawings and coordinated construction drawings were generated from the BIM environment to support construction.

Working on an educational campus, school facility, or institutional building in the Middle East?

Our team can be set up and working within 48 hours of project kickoff to support BIM coordination, clash detection, MEP coordination, and construction-ready model documentation.
