Part of a major redevelopment project in Toronto, this landmark involved the complete mechanical engineering, design, and coordination for a dual-branded luxury Jaguar and Land Rover dealership and service center. BIM Services supported this premier, high-performance retail and service landmark by delivering ultra-resilient HVAC BIM Coordination systems with advanced energy recovery, complex hydronic piping, and detailed plumbing infrastructure across an extensive showroom floor, high-volume service bays, detailing areas, and guest amenities. A complete quote has been submitted and accepted for the mechanical scope, with the facility designed around guest experience, advanced service capabilities, and multi-faceted sustainability goals.
Project Summary
- Complete mechanical engineering, design, and coordination for a dual-branded luxury dealership and service center
- Multi-Faceted HVAC BIM Coordination systems, such as AHU systems for the show floor and large volume service bay exhaust
- Complicated hydronics systems involving multiple boilers and geothermal systems
- Water systems with special grease/oil separators for wash bay areas
- Sustainability measures targeting high certification goals such as LEED through geothermal integration

HVAC BIM Coordination Design for Showroom Climate Control and High-Volume Service Bays
A dual-branded retail and service landmark needs precise, zoned climate control across very different space types. Our BIM 3D modeling team engineered and coordinated:
- Comprehensive multi-faceted HVAC systems, including dedicated, high-performance show floor AHUs with precise climate control
- Extensive high-volume service bay ventilation with exhaust and process air distribution
- HVAC BIM Coordination layouts sized to support a premier, high-performance retail and service landmark
Geothermal Hydronic Piping and Water-Efficient Plumbing Systems
Handling different thermal loads in the showroom area, service bays, and guest facilities required a well-thought-out piping approach. This work included:
- Complex systems of hydronic piping that incorporate multiple boiler heat distribution as well as a geothermal loop system
- Efficient pumps engineered to control different thermal loads in the dealership
- Plumbing system with BIM coordination, including domestic water supply, sewage systems, oil/grease separators for wash bays, and water-saving devices
Coordination With High-End Architectural Finishes and Structural Elements
Extensive glass walls and premium architectural finishes leave little room for mechanical systems to compromise on aesthetics. Our structural modeling and clash detection processes ensured:
- Perfect coordination between mechanical systems, high-end architectural finishes, extensive glass walls, and structural elements
- HVAC BIM Coordination and piping routing resolved against structural elements before installation
- Field-ready documentation supporting a smooth installation sequence within a high-visibility retail environment
Quality Control, Redundancy, and Sustainability Commissioning
Delivering a mission-critical service facility required rigorous testing and a long-term sustainability outlook. Our BIM coordination team:
- Managed comprehensive quality control, testing, and commissioning of all complex mechanical components, inclusive of extensive redundant systems for critical areas
- Collaborated on sustainability measures with geothermal integration, high-efficiency systems, and detailed water conservation
- Targeted high certification goals such as LEED or equivalent across the dealership and service center
The Jaguar Land Rover Toronto Dealership project reflects how BIM Services applies detailed mechanical BIM modeling and disciplined coordination to deliver premium, high-performance automotive facilities built around guest experience and sustainability.
