Project Overview
Hamilton Elementary School is part of a district-wide educational infrastructure programme in New York, comprising school facilities ranging from 60,000 sq. ft. to 280,000 sq. ft. The project required an accurate BIM model of the existing building to support future renovations, facility planning, and long-term asset management through reliable digital documentation.
OneClick BIM developed a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model from point cloud data, providing project stakeholders with a dependable digital representation of the school while improving design coordination and documentation accuracy.
OneClick BIM's Scope
OneClick BIM was responsible for converting point cloud data into a coordinated BIM model of the existing school facility.
The project scope included:
• LOD 300 BIM Modelling
• Point Cloud to BIM Conversion
• Architectural Modelling
• Structural Modelling
• Existing Conditions Documentation
• Immediate Site Plan Development
• Coordinated BIM Model Development
The coordinated model served as a reliable digital reference for future planning and redevelopment activities.
Key Challenge
Developing an accurate BIM model from point cloud data required capturing the existing building geometry while maintaining coordination between architectural and structural elements. The challenge was to produce reliable documentation that could support future renovations, minimise design uncertainty, and improve multidisciplinary collaboration.
OneClick BIM's Workflow
Point Cloud Assessment
Point cloud data was reviewed to establish modelling requirements and accurately capture the existing building conditions.
BIM Model Development
A coordinated LOD 300 BIM model was developed by integrating architectural and structural disciplines together with the immediate site plan.
Coordination Review
The multidisciplinary model underwent quality assurance and coordination checks to verify geometric accuracy and consistency across all disciplines.
Model Validation
The completed BIM model was validated to ensure reliable documentation for future planning, design, and facility management.
Final BIM Delivery
OneClick BIM delivered a coordinated LOD 300 BIM model with an immediate site plan developed from point cloud data. The deliverables provided accurate existing-condition documentation, supporting design coordination, campus planning, and long-term asset management.
