From Design Changes to Construction-Ready Documentation: A High-Rise Hotel BIM Case Study

High-rise hospitality projects generate a large volume of design and construction documentation, while design decisions continue to evolve through the Design Development stages. When model information and drawings are updated through disconnected processes, revisions can quickly create inconsistencies, resulting in outdated sheets, coordination gaps, and avoidable rework.The challenge becomes more significant when Architecture and MEP consultants are developing and revising their designs simultaneously. Changes to one discipline can affect layouts, service coordination, ceiling conditions, interiors, and other documentation packages. Without a controlled BIM workflow, keeping every affected drawing synchronized becomes increasingly difficult.For Grand Hotel, maintaining a centralized and continuously updated BIM model provided a consistent information source for design development and documentation. By extracting drawings from the coordinated model and applying structured revision and QA/QC processes, the project team could manage design changes more efficiently while reducing the risk of discrepancies between the model and issued documentation.
