Project Overview
United-BIM created a coordinated BIM model for a logistics and distribution center project in Indiana. The model included warehouse bays, racking zones, dock areas, office spaces, structural framing, MEP systems, and site-related coordination elements. The BIM model helped the project team review warehouse operations, loading dock layouts, building services, and construction documentation within a single coordinated digital environment.

Project Overview
| # | Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Large warehouse floor plate required clear coordination of docks, storage zones, circulation paths, and office areas. | Built a BIM model that organized warehouse bays, dock positions, office spaces, and support areas for easier layout review. |
| 2 | Structural framing, roof drainage, MEP services, and fire protection systems had to work within a high-bay warehouse environment. | Coordinated structural and MEP elements to reduce clashes and maintain clearances across warehouse and loading zones. |
| 3 | Loading dock areas required careful planning for doors, ramps, dock equipment, and circulation. | Modeled dock layouts and surrounding elements to support design review and improve construction documentation accuracy. |
| 4 | The project team needed reliable drawings for construction and trade coordination. | Generated coordinated plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and model-based documentation from the BIM environment. |
| 5 | The building had repetitive structural and MEP elements that needed consistent modeling standards. | Used standardized model components and organized views to maintain consistency across the large facility footprint. |
