Motive Apartments Australia
Public Health Systems Modelling & Coordination for a Luxury Residential Development in Australia
Public Health Systems Modelling & Coordination
4 BIM Engineers
6 months
Motive Apartments is a luxury residential development consisting of 143 stylish one and two-bedroom apartments distributed across two mid-rise buildings in West Leederville, Australia.
Karno Energy was responsible for the design and coordination of all public health systems, ensuring efficient water management, resident comfort, and long-term operational reliability through BIM technology.
[ Challenges ]
Designing Public Health Systems for High-Density Residential Living
The project required multiple public health systems to support 143 apartments while maintaining reliability, efficiency, and compliance with local requirements.
- Stormwater drainage
- Condensate drainage
- Household sewerage
- Hot & cold water supply
Without proper planning, this would normally result in:
- System inefficiencies
- Operational issues
- Design conflicts
- Higher maintenance requirements
Integrating Multiple Water Management Systems
Several interconnected water systems needed to operate together efficiently while supporting both residential use and sustainability objectives.
- Water supply coordination
- Drainage integration
- Rainwater collection
- Resident functionality requirements
This created risks such as:
- Routing conflicts
- Space constraints
- Coordination delays
- Reduced system efficiency
Balancing Sustainability with Residential Comfort
The project incorporated secondary rainwater reuse while ensuring all functional needs of future residents were fully satisfied.
- Rainwater reuse systems
- Water efficiency targets
- Residential comfort
- Long-term building performance
Without optimization, this would normally result in:
- Increased water consumption
- Reduced sustainability performance
- Higher operational costs
- Lower long-term value
[ Solutions ]
Integrated Public Health Systems Design
The project began with the development of a comprehensive public health strategy to support residential comfort, water efficiency, and long-term operational reliability.
- Core engineering systems included:
Residential BIM Coordination Workflow
BIM technology was used to coordinate all public health systems and maintain consistency throughout the design process.
- BIM coordination activities included:
This ensured all systems remained coordinated and ready for construction delivery.
Sustainable Water Management Strategy
Rainwater reuse was incorporated into the engineering design to improve sustainability while maintaining the performance requirements of the residential development.
- Sustainability measures included:
Construction-Ready Project Delivery
All public health systems were documented and coordinated to support construction activities and future building operation.
- Final deliverables included:
The result was a fully integrated public health solution optimized for residential use.
[ Scope of Work ]
The initial project scope included
Using BIM technology, our team developed and coordinated all public health systems required to support residential functionality, sustainability, and long-term building performance.

[ Delivery Process ]
Public Health Strategy & System Planning
The project started with the development of a public health strategy designed to support residential comfort, sustainability, and long-term building performance.
- So we started with the key project requirements:
-
Residential water demand analysis
-
Drainage system planning
-
Rainwater reuse strategy
- Following approval, the engineering framework was established:
-

BIM coordination procedures
-
Documentation requirements
BIM Modelling & Coordination
Public health systems were modelled and coordinated using BIM technology to ensure efficient integration throughout the residential development.
- Key activities included:
-
Stormwater modelling
-
Sewerage coordination
-
Water supply integration
This ensured all systems were coordinated and prepared for construction.
Project Delivery & Documentation
Final BIM deliverables and engineering documentation were prepared to support construction activities and future building operation.
-
Coordinated BIM package
-
Public health documentation
-
Construction-ready deliverables
The client received a complete public health solution optimized for residential living and long-term building performance.
