Federated modelling
Discipline models brought together into one coordinated view of the building as it will actually be built.
Constraction
BIM & Digital Delivery
Model-led planning and coordination that de-risk construction — fewer surprises on site, and far better information at handover.
Build it twice: once in the model, once on site
Building information modelling is part of how Al-Futtaim Construction plans work, not a deliverable we produce at the end to satisfy a contract clause. Architectural, structural and MEP models are federated and interrogated before installation begins, so the expensive conversations happen in a coordination room rather than in a ceiling void with two trades waiting.
What model-led delivery gives a project
Clash detection
Services routes, structure and architecture tested against each other, with clashes resolved and signed off before fabrication.
4D sequencing
The programme played against the model, so access, craneage and logistics are proved before the first delivery arrives.
Quantities and procurement
Take-off drawn from the model, improving buying accuracy and reducing waste on site.
Common data environment
One place for current drawings, models and approvals, so everyone is working from the same revision.
Digital handover
Asset data, locations and documentation delivered in a structured form the facilities team can use on day one.
From model to maintenance
A model is most valuable after the building opens. Because Al-Futtaim Contracting also maintains buildings, we know what an operations team actually needs: accurate asset registers, sensible naming, real locations, and the manuals attached to the right equipment. We prepare that information during construction and pass it into computer-aided facilities management, so a building begins its life with a complete and trustworthy record of itself.
- Fewer clashes reaching site, and fewer variations arising from them
- Prefabrication planned with confidence, shortening time on site
- Clearer communication with consultants, authorities and client teams
- Reliable asset data at handover, ready for maintenance and energy work
- A digital record that supports future refurbishment and fit-out
Practical, not performative
We match the level of modelling to what a project genuinely needs. A complex hospital justifies deep coordination and sequencing; a straightforward warehouse does not. Deciding that honestly at the outset — with the client, and in writing — is what keeps digital delivery useful rather than decorative.
The model earns its keep the day it stops a mistake, and again every day the building is maintained.
