Parametrix provided advanced survey, modelling, and simulation services to support one of the UK’s most sustainable logistics developments, enabling a seamless digital handover and optimised construction management.
The challenge for Parametrix began long before construction, as we were tasked with helping our client win the tender by clearly demonstrating the complexity of the build process. A key part of this was simulating groundworks, including validating extensive cut-and-fill operations across a large, topographically varied site.
With significant earth movement required, precise modelling was essential to inform logistics, costs, and sequencing. We then had to translate this dynamic, high-stakes site into detailed, data-rich BIM models, capturing not only the infrastructure but also the sustainable and architectural innovations integrated into the scheme.
Parametrix supported Glencar Construction with a suite of advanced digital services to drive project success from pre-construction through to handover. Using drone-based photogrammetry, we delivered highly accurate survey data to validate site levels and civil infrastructure models.
Our team produced precise Scan-to-BIM models critical for construction planning and developed a 4D construction simulation to align design intent with build phases. This approach not only won the tender but streamlined coordination, improved resource planning, and ensured a smooth, data-rich digital handover.
Parametrix’s digital solutions helped optimise construction workflows, improve stakeholder collaboration, and deliver a completed digital estate. The project demonstrated how advanced surveying, 4D simulation, and BIM modelling can streamline delivery in complex commercial environments.
By integrating sustainability, technology, and precision, this award-winning scheme set a new benchmark for digital construction practices. This work showcases the transformative impact of data-driven methods on modern commercial project delivery.
