This studio explored the Integrated Construction Practices (ICP) methodology in Semester 3, with a strong focus on integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean Construction principles for a high-rise commercial tower in GIFT City, Gandhinagar. The project emphasized digital coordination, collaborative planning, and data-driven decision-making to enhance project efficiency, quality, and constructability across all stages of development.

The project comprised three basements, a ground floor, and 29 floors above, with a total built-up area of 66,616 sq. m, accommodating premium office spaces, showrooms, and retail facilities. A comprehensive, stakeholder-driven framework was developed, supported by detailed information requirements, a well-defined BIM Execution Plan, and an integrated delivery schedule. Discipline-wise LOD 300-400 models were created for architectural, structural, and MEP systems, enabling systematic clash detection, risk mitigation, and seamless interdisciplinary coordination. Model-based quantity take-offs and BOQs were prepared to improve cost accuracy and procurement planning, while site logistics and material movement were optimized through 3D layout analysis. The workflow further incorporated 4D construction sequencing and 5D cost simulations, along with Last Planner System-based progress tracking, to evaluate, monitor, and enhance overall time, cost, and productivity performance. This integrated approach strengthened decision-making, reduced rework, and supported efficient project delivery in a complex, high-rise urban context.
