Frost Bank-Prosper – Plumbing BIM Modeling

For this 61,547-square-foot Frost Bank facility in Prosper, BIM Services delivered site utility plumbing BIM modeling, built around a design that kept evolving late into construction. The scope centered on resolving invert level and slope changes on the drain piping network, keeping the model current through repeated architectural revisions, and delivering a coordinated, fabrication-ready plumbing layout on a tight schedule.

Project Summary

• Site utility plumbing BIM Modeling coordination and modeling for a 61,547 sq ft Frost Bank facility
• Drain pipe invert levels and slopes revised to accommodate TDI connection requirements
• Rapid BIM model turnaround supporting time-bound architectural and plumbing riser changes
• Clash coordination re-run alongside late-stage design revisions to keep trades aligned
• LOD 350 modeling delivered in Revit Fabrication 2023 for accurate, field-ready documentation

Project Snapshot

Resolving Invert Level and Slope Changes on Drain Piping

Accommodating TDI connections into the site’s drain piping network required precise adjustments to invert levels and pipe slope. Our BIM 3D modeling team worked through:

• Invert level and slope changes to the drain piping network to properly accommodate TDI connections
• Site utility plumbing routing adjusted to maintain proper drainage flow across the revised layout
• Model updates coordinated to keep the plumbing design consistent with evolving site utility requirements

Re-Coordinating Trades Through Late-Stage Design Changes

Time-bound architectural changes to the plumbing riser lines arrived after BIM 3D clash coordination had already been completed, forcing the team to revisit trade coordination under a compressed timeline. This work included:

• Trade coordination repeated across the plumbing risers to reflect the updated architectural design
• A quick-turnaround BIM model revision process run in parallel with ongoing clash coordination
• Deliverables kept on schedule despite last-minute design changes affecting the plumbing layout

Clash Coordination Under a Compressed Schedule

Keeping the plumbing bim modeling clash-free design changes were still landing required disciplined clash detection run alongside every revision. Key outcomes included:

• Site utility plumbing bim modeling systems checked against updated architectural elements after each design revision
• Conflicts resolved quickly enough to avoid delaying the broader project schedule
• Field-ready documentation maintained even as the underlying design continued to evolve

Dedicated BIM Coordination for On-Time Delivery

Meeting deadlines through repeated design changes depended on a dedicated BIM coordination team focused solely on this project. Our team:

• Maintained a dedicated team for Plumbing BIM modeling and coordination to speed up completion
• Delivered a coordinated, LOD 350 plumbing model in Revit Fabrication 2023
• Kept deliverables on time despite the compressed revision schedule

The Frost Bank Prosper project reflects how BIM Services applies rapid model turnaround, disciplined clash coordination, and dedicated team support to keep site utility plumbing scopes on schedule even through late design changes.
