Shams Tower

Built In BIM was engaged to deliver comprehensive BIM services for Shams Tower, a high-rise development in the UAE. The project required end-to-end Building Information Modeling support across architectural, structural, and MEPF disciplines. From the early design phase to the issued-for-construction (IFC) stage, our team ensured every element was accurately modeled and fully coordinated in compliance with UAE’s construction standards. We provided a clash-free, construction-ready BIM package, facilitating smooth execution on-site and minimizing rework.

  • Discipline: Architectural, Structural, MEPF
  • Location: UAE
  • Scope of Work: Concept Design to Issued for Construction (IFC) Stage

Problem

The Shams Tower project presented several challenges typical of large-scale, multidisciplinary developments:

Fragmented Design Coordination:

Multiple design consultants working in silos led to conflicts in design intent across disciplines.

Tight Project Timeline:

The developer required a fast-tracked design-to-construction workflow to meet investment and occupancy goals.

Complex MEPF Systems:

Given the building’s vertical scale, achieving precise integration of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire systems with architecture and structure was critical.

Regulatory Compliance:

Adhering to UAE-specific BIM standards and documentation protocols added complexity to project delivery.

Solution

Built In BIM approached the project with a holistic BIM strategy:

01

Integrated 3D Modeling:

Our team developed detailed and discipline-specific models in Autodesk Revit, ensuring real-time coordination across architectural, structural, and MEPF trades.

02

Clash Detection & Resolution:

Using Navisworks, we conducted iterative clash detection sessions, resolving over 500+ issues during design coordination and ensuring a clash-free model before IFC submission.

03

UAE Standards Compliance:

All deliverables, including 3D models, 2D documentation, and IFC files, were aligned with local regulatory requirements and client-specific BIM Execution Plan (BEP).

04

Collaborative Workflows:

Leveraging cloud-based platforms like BIM 360, we enabled seamless collaboration between stakeholders across time zones.

05

Efficient Delivery:

The final output was a fully coordinated, constructible model with accurate BOQs and IFC drawings, significantly reducing site delays and construction costs.

Outcome :

The Shams Tower project was delivered on time with zero critical clashes, reduced design-to-construction turnaround, and a highly coordinated model that supported effective on-site execution. Built In BIM’s expertise in handling multidisciplinary BIM requirements played a pivotal role in streamlining the project’s delivery lifecycle.
