The document outlines the design of a new office building for legal firms. It includes a schedule of accommodation and constraints of the site location. Laser scanning was used to capture data of the site and surrounding buildings to help model the context in Revit. An architectural model of the building was created with walls, floors, doors and windows. A structural model was also developed including the steel frame, concrete floors and pile foundations. The next steps will be to complete the structural and MEP models and then clash detect them in Navisworks to identify and resolve any issues.

2. Introduction
Brief
Our team has been appointed to design a new office
specifically tailored to legal firms and legal training. The building
must incorporate space for multiple companies.
Schedule of Accommodation:
Office spaces (both open plan and cellular)
Meeting/board rooms (varying sizes for specific uses, eg. 1 to
1, groups, etc.)
Achieve storage room
General storage rooms
Moot court (legal training court)
Break-out spaces throughout the building
Kitchenette/coffee points
Toilets (male,female, accessible WC’s, shower room, etc.)
Accessible lift
Cleaners store
Central reception with guest waiting area

3. Site
Proposed Site
The proposed site is located on the North bank of the River
Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne.
57 Quayside
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE1 2BJ
Currently housing a ‘Pocket Park’, an initiative promoted by NE1
STRUCTURE

4. Site Constraints
Site Boundaries
The site is restricted on two sides by neighbouring buildings:
Flynn’s Bar
Law Building
To the front, the site is restricted by the street front and public
footpath
To the rear, the site is slight more open with room for car
parking
All buildings are limited to roughly the same height and number
of levels
Observations
Busy street to the South
Access needed to property along the East boundary
Access to car park from Broad Chare to the North East

6. Using the 3D City
Model
City Model
Throughout this project and the last we have used a 3D city
model of Newcastle to create the context for our Revit model.
Used to better understand the site boundaries.
We have used the 3D city model to create more professional
external renders.
The 3D model was used to align the point cloud data to one of
the neighbouring buildings so a Revit model for these buildings
could be modelled in place.

7. Data Acquisition
Laser Scanning
Tutorial in laser scanning with Paul from Leica Geosystems.
Scanned the full site from several different locations
We headed straight back to the computer suit to load the point
cloud into Revit

8. Laser Scanning and
Modelling from the
Point Cloud Data
Modelling from Point Cloud Data
The point cloud data was opened in a new revit project and
was used to begin building a model of the adjoining buildings to
the site.
Using walls, extrusions and windows we created the facades of
the buildings.
We created custom texture to apply to these surfaces.
We then added roofs and further details to complete the
context models.
We worked individually on each of the buildings and the
models were linked together before being imported and aligned
to the site model.

10. Architectural Model
Modelling in Revit
We all began modelling the architecture model to create a com-
prehensive mass made up of architectural elements:
Walls (with materials)
Floors
Doors
Windows and other glazing
This is the base for the BIM

12. What is Next?
Structural Model
The next stage now for us is to complete the structural model,
creating a fully comprehensive Level 2 BIM.
MEP Model
We will then create a mechanical and electrical model
concentrating on one floor. This will give us three co-ordiated
models which we can then process in Navisworks.
Navisworks
We will then import a central model into Autodesk’s Navisworks.
Here we will run a series of clash detections between the
architectural and structural models, architecture and MEP and
structure with MEP.
In Navisworks we will also create a series of construction
animations and renders using the cloud.
We welcome any questions?
