LOD 350 BIM for Luxury Residence

Overview

The Heiderscheidt Residence is a 25,866 sq. ft. super-luxury home located at 710 Indian Beach Cir, Sarasota, Florida. The client required a fully coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP BIM model capable of generating accurate, discipline-wise quantities. eLogicTech was engaged to develop an LOD 350 BIM model enriched with detailed parameters to deliver precise BOQs, clash-free coordination, and documentation-ready outputs.

Client Challenge

The project demanded unified modeling of architecture, structure, and MEP within a single workflow while maintaining precision and model consistency. The client also required every component to be quantifiable, which meant the standard LOD 200 - 300 modeling approach was insufficient. Some native Revit elements lacked the ability to support direct quantity extraction, further complicating the process. Finally, the project had a tight turnaround, making coordination efficiency crucial.

Scope of Work

eLogicTech developed an LOD 350 Revit model covering architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. The scope included full BOQ-enabled modeling, coordinated BIM integration, clash checks, and multi-format deliverables such as Revit files, PDF drawings, and element-level takeoff sheets.

Our Approach

eLogicTech developed an LOD 350 Revit model covering architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. The scope included full BOQ-enabled modeling, coordinated BIM integration, clash checks, and multi-format deliverables such as Revit files, PDF drawings, and element-level takeoff sheets.

Technologies & Team

The team used AutoCAD, Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP to deliver a coordinated model. Two dedicated architects from eLogicTech executed the assignment over a period of three months (April 2025 – June 2025).

Key Challenges & Solutions

• Multi-Discipline Coordination

  Because architecture, structure, and MEP had to be developed simultaneously, cross-discipline clashes were expected. eLogicTech resolved this with a synchronized BIM workflow and recurring quality checks, resulting in a clash-free, construction-ready model.

• LOD 350 Parameterization for BOQ

  The requirement to quantify every component demanded deeper detailing than typical mid-level models. The team upgraded the project to LOD 350, embedding parameter sets for identity, dimensions, materials, and classification codes.

• Revit Limitations for Element Quantification

  Certain Revit elements lacked native fields necessary for extraction. eLogicTech resolved this through custom shared parameters and global parameters, making the model fully data-rich and BOQ-compatible.

Project Inputs Provided by Client

The client shared AutoCAD drawings, SketchUp files, email-based markups, and participated in weekly coordination meetings to maintain alignment throughout the project lifecycle.

Results & Measurable Impact

The project achieved significant time savings and cost reductions by eliminating rework and ensuring discipline alignment from the start. The fully coordinated BIM model helped avoid design overlaps, enabled accurate procurement planning, and supported decision-making with reliable quantities. Despite the fast-paced schedule, the project was delivered on time thanks to efficient workflow and communication between the client and the eLogictech team.

Client Testimonial

The client rated the project as “Good/Good,” acknowledging the smooth collaboration, timely delivery, and output quality.
