This study explores the use of Building Information Modelling could help address this problem for a residential building in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The building will be five stories tall, built with RCC. It covers an area of 15m × 24m. Each floor will have 360 sq. M. Of space making a built-up area of 2,160 sq. M. We used Autodesk Revit 2024 to create a model of the HVAC system, which has a capacity of 42 TR and includes 659 meters of ductwork. We also made a model of the distribution system with a connected load of 138 kW and
216 light points. The plumbing system we designed includes a water demand of 24,300 litres per day and 491 meters of supply pipe. For the firefighting system, we included 180 sprinkler heads and 653 meters of pipe. When we checked for clashes, we found 47 conflicts. We solved 44 of these issues before construction even started. The results were really significant. Changed the way the team understood the building. This paper explains what we did, how we performed the calculations, and what other teams can learn from our project to apply to their work.
