The challenge of this project was to create a sophisticated Class A office space to consolidate the operations of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Frederick, Maryland. The complicated tilt-up office design includes a series of interconnected structures that are all three stories tall and total more than 310,000 square feet. From onset to completion, the schedule for this complicated project was only 19 months.
LJB’s use of Bentley’s BIM solutions on this project enabled it to save time, money, and materials for three basic reasons: their design automation capabilities prevent duplication of task; their drawing accuracy and building information modeling simplify design changes and reduce field errors; and their management of inherent structural information enables users to extract data for project- or method-specific uses.
