Emaar Malls, The developer of premium shopping mall and retail assets, With a gross leasable area of over 5.8 million sq ft in Dubai, Emaar’s mall assets include The Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina Mall, Souk Al Bahar, and Gold & Diamond Park. Emaar Malls’s expertise extends to the creation of community centres in each of its master-planned communities. The community centres, which vary in size, serve a common goal – to provide refreshing and convenient choices in retail and leisure in every Emaar community. 

The task with Emaar Malls was a bit different, were we were hired to create an as-built BIM model together with related assets information and Operation Manuals.

Using the state of art BIMx and BIMcloud, Emaar Malls installed one of the most advanced BIM solutions in the market, where BIMx and BIMcloud ensured the seamless communication between staff on ground, and technical teams.

The task started with using As-built drawings to model and verify all Structural, Architectural, and MEP systems, together with verifying all related handover documents (Operation Manuals..etc).

As a result, we had a consolidated model that contained all verified elements (physical and non-physical attributes) that allows an easy inquiries extractions with a click of button, and an easy status updates (Maintenance dates ) 

And Thanks to BIMx, all the required info, is available for teams on site, on their mobile devices including : Elements specifications, tenants approved drawings, and the ability to communicate with the engineering team directly through BIMx, using markups, live photos, and position location, directly in their ARCHICAD.
