Commercial & offices
Core-and-shell and fit-out coordination, with congested
ceiling voids and tenant variation driving repeated re-coordination. Documentation volume is
high and change is continuous, so model structure and naming discipline matter more than
modelling speed.
Typical scope: MEP modelling,
federated coordination, builders work, shop drawings.
Residential & mixed use
Repeatable unit typologies reward parametric and
automated production, while riser coordination and vertical service continuity are where most
issues concentrate. Schedule accuracy across many repeated rooms is the usual test.
Typical scope: unit type modelling,
riser coordination, quantity take-off, drawing production.
Healthcare
Among the most services-dense building types, with strict
clearance, access and maintainability requirements. Validation expectations are correspondingly
high, and coordination has to account for equipment that arrives late in the design.
Typical scope: MEP modelling, clearance
and access validation, coordination reporting, as-built models.
Data centres
Very high-density mechanical and electrical distribution
with tight tolerances and heavy repetition. Containment routing, cable tray coordination and
plant access dominate, and model data accuracy carries straight into procurement.
Typical scope: electrical containment,
mechanical distribution, clash resolution, take-off.
Industrial & warehousing
Long-span structures with process services, high-level
distribution and fire protection routing. Coordination is less congested than healthcare but
spans large areas, so federation strategy and model performance matter.
Typical scope: services routing, fire
protection, structural coordination, penetration drawings.
Hospitality
Guest-room repetition alongside complex back-of-house
services. Finishes are unforgiving, so services have to be coordinated to the ceiling and wall
build-ups rather than to structure alone.
Typical scope: room type modelling,
back-of-house MEP, ceiling coordination, shop drawings.
Education
Standardised room types, phased delivery and
ventilation-led services. Programmes are frequently constrained by occupation dates, which
places weight on predictable issue schedules.
Typical scope: MEP modelling, phased
coordination, documentation, take-off.
Retail
Landlord and tenant interfaces with short fit-out
programmes. The coordination question is usually about demarcation and capacity at the
interface rather than about the tenant area itself.
Typical scope: fit-out MEP,
interface coordination, as-built records.
