Case Study
Webcast: Integrating Design & Construction: Case Study Featuring Kirksey and the Award-Winning Westway Park Office Building Project
Date: Jan. 30, 2007
Presenters: Kirksey Architecture
In June, Kirksey was awarded the 2006 Building Information Model Award for "Inspirational Pilot Project" by the AIA Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP) Knowledge Community. The Firm's winning submission, the Satterfield & Pontikes Westway Office Building in Houston, was designed and modeled using Graphisoft's Virtual Building? solutions, including ArchiCAD®, Constructor and Estimator.
Project Background Because Kirksey is already committed to a model-based design approach with ArchiCAD, Satterfield & Pontikes initiated the integration between the two firms so they could work together to establish a BIM-based, replicable manufacturing process across the various stages of project programming, design and construction. By structuring the project around a design-build team consisting of the owner, general contractor, architect, structural engineer, MEP and selected subcontractors, ArchiCAD's 3D modeling tools were used to better coordinate, communicate, document and construct the three-story office building.
