For the Don Nino icecream shops, we carried out the complete MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) design and coordination using BIM methodologies. This project served as an ideal testbed to explore the full potential of BIM workflows in small-scale retail environments. The compact size of the project allowed us to push BIM to its limits while maintaining the flexibility to detect and resolve design deviations early and effectively.
From the outset, we collaborated closely with the interior design team, aligning MEP planning with spatial and aesthetic requirements. As the design progressed, we introduced to the subcontractors the coordinated infrastructure model, including precise quantity take-offs and spatial allocations. This early involvement allowed for iterative refinements based on real-world inputs, ensuring full alignment across all stakeholders.
The BIM methodology enabled seamless communication, advanced clash detection, and real-time updates across disciplines. By the time the project entered the execution phase, all systems were fully coordinated, with zero unforeseen interferences. This comprehensive preconstruction process led to a highly efficient, error-free construction, where every technical aspect had already been resolved before reaching the site.
The Don Nino project stands as a benchmark in the application of BIM for small-scale, high-quality retail construction—demonstrating how digital coordination can eliminate inefficiencies and elevate the execution standard across all disciplines.
