Small things can make a big difference.<br \/>One of those critical details is the elevation concept, a clearly defined vertical layout of building services.<br \/>When this concept is properly applied in BIM coordination, the facility becomes more functional, descriptive, and sustainable.<br \/>The elevation concept brings order in the space and makes a base for precise and efficient

work?<\/h5><ul><li>Semi-transparent horizontal layers are placed within the model to define different height zones.<\/li><li>Installations running east-west are grouped into one zone, and those
