The Rankin duplex is a residential building, which is located in B27C, 336 Grand Cayman, in the greta Cayman, Cayman Islands. The purpose of the project was to create building drawings using concrete walls set atop concrete floors which will be resting on shallow foundations supported by footings.
We had a 2 people team who BIM experts and they were using Revit software to process modeling. A two-week timeline was set with the associated project area of 11,360 Square Feet.
For both Rankin duplexes, the selected finish was CMU walls and concrete floors. Through these qualities, it ensures durability and strength and therefore, it is best suited for residential houses. Together with the shallow foundation type built on wall footings the team used the method due to its cost-effectiveness in materials and construction at the project location.
The project side employed Revit software for making the model for architectural and detail design and the construction drawings. This software is known for its BIM design capability and is therefore widely used in such areas as architecture, engineering, and construction. It relies on a more teamwork-based method for the schematics and construction of buildings.
Among the other factors of the project which were not in our control, we had a time span of only 10 days which had to be adhered to in order for the project to succeed. As in any case, my project was provided of the first materials – a demo design and a finished sample as a reference. These inputs were mandatory to reduce the chances of errors and to create a consistent process in the team performance.
As for project outputs, one can name a Revit model, and it contains all basic requirements for construction along with dimensions, materials, and specifications. During the course of the project, with Revit model and a PDF set of drawings I produced, the use and reference of which was made to simplify the task.
The Rankin Duplex project not only provided a functional and durable residential building for the B27C community but also showcased the benefits of utilizing BIM technology in the design and construction process. By utilizing Revit software, the project team was able to collaborate more effectively, resulting in a high-quality and efficient project delivery within a short timeline.
In summary, the Rankin Duplex building is an outstanding image of how extraction of BIM technology brings about improvements to construction projects. In this regard, the structural resilience and time and resource management used for the development of this project are highlights that can be used to form benchmarks for other projects. Thus, the evolution of technology and methodologies is a corner stone of the construction industry, so as to achieve the high-end and efficient projects.
