Multi-Level Commercial Building - Mixed-Use Revit BIM
A three-level mixed-use commercial building combining cafe, office, plant room, and basement car park - coordinated architectural and structural BIM with construction-ready documentation.
- - Three-level commercial building Revit model
- - Architectural and structural BIM coordination
- - Lower ground car park, ground floor cafe, first floor offices, plant room
- - Precast concrete wall panel detailing
- - Complete construction documentation
About the project
A multi-level commercial building exercise from the RMIT CAD and 3D Modelling unit. The brief required coordinating architectural and structural disciplines in a single Revit model while producing construction-ready documentation following industry drafting standards.
Building composition
- Lower ground: Car parking and store room with laneway access
- Ground floor: Cafe, reception, entry foyer, fire-isolated stairs, pedestrian ramp
- First floor: Open office space with fire-isolated stair core
- Plant room: Rooftop plant level with portal frame and metal deck roof
Structural coordination
The Revit model integrates precast concrete wall panels (LOD detailed for shop drawings), reinforced concrete lift shaft, structural beams sized to engineer’s loading, and column grid coordinated through all levels. The architectural and structural models share a single federated source.
Documentation deliverables
- Plans for every level with structural callouts
- Cross-sections through stair core and plant room
- All four elevations with material annotations
- Site plan integrating laneway and street access
- Rendered presentation imagery for client review
What this demonstrates
Mid-complexity commercial BIM that real construction projects require - coordinated multi-discipline modelling, level-of-detail appropriate to construction, and the documentation discipline that makes Revit models actually useful on site.
