Aurelia, Australia
A Workplace Designed Around Wellness, Sustainability & Flexibility
Comprehensive Coordination Of All Engineering Systems
4 BIM Engineers
6 months
Aurelia is a next-generation office environment designed to support agile working, employee wellbeing, and sustainability. The project combines flexible workspaces, client-facing environments, collaborative areas, social hubs, and wellness-focused amenities within a highly coordinated commercial workplace.
Karno Energy was responsible for engineering coordination, BIM management, Stage 5 construction documentation, COBie asset data integration, and technical support throughout project delivery.
[ Challenges ]
Coordinating Complex Workplace Environments
The project combined collaborative workspaces, client environments, social zones, food courts, terraces, and wellness-focused facilities within a single office development.
- Multiple workspace types
- Public amenities
- Client-facing environments
- Shared engineering infrastructure
Without proper coordination, this would normally result in:
- MEP conflicts
- Space inefficiencies
- Coordination delays
- Construction rework
Managing BIM Data Across Multiple Platforms
The project required seamless coordination between BIM models, clash management workflows, document control systems, and COBie asset information.
- BIM360 collaboration
- Aconex document control
- BIMCollab issue tracking
- COBie asset data management
This created risks such as:
- Data inconsistencies
- Information loss
- Approval delays
- Documentation errors
Delivering Stage 5 Documentation at Scale
The final BIM package required highly coordinated engineering models, detailed construction drawings, and fully structured asset information ready for handover.
- Stage 5 drawings
- Asset data population
- Installation validation
- BEP compliance
Without sufficient quality control, this would normally result in:
- Construction delays
- Asset data issues
- Coordination conflicts
- Increased project costs

Engineering Optimization for Agile Workspaces
The project required engineering systems to support a highly flexible workplace environment consisting of collaborative zones, client spaces, social hubs, terraces, food courts, and wellness-focused amenities.
- To support this workplace strategy, we focused on:
Multi-Platform BIM Coordination
To maintain consistency across all disciplines, BIM coordination was performed using an integrated workflow combining BIM360, Navisworks, BIMCollab, and Aconex.
- Coordination activities included:
This approach improved information flow and accelerated issue resolution throughout project delivery.
Clash Monitoring & Installation Validation
To ensure construction readiness, engineering systems were reviewed through clash detection workflows and visual installation analysis before Stage 5 documentation was issued.
- Validation activities included:
This reduced construction risks and improved installation efficiency before work began on site.
COBie Data Delivery & Stage 5 Documentation
Alongside engineering coordination, BIM asset information was populated according to BEP requirements and integrated into the final BIM deliverables.
- Final project deliverables included:
The result was a fully coordinated BIM environment supporting construction, asset management, and future building operation.
[ Scope of Work ]
The initial project scope included
Working from Stage 3 project information, our team optimized engineering systems, coordinated multidisciplinary BIM models, and prepared Stage 5 construction documentation for project delivery.
ENGINEERING DESIGN OPTIMIZATION
BIM COORDINATION OF ALL MEP SYSTEMS
COBIE DATA INTEGRATION & BEP COMPLIANCE
STAGE 5 CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Detailed construction documentation, BIM asset data delivery, and ongoing project support.
[ Delivery Process ]
Engineering Review & BIM Strategy
The project began with Stage 3 information received from MEP contractors. Engineering layouts were reviewed and optimized to align with the latest architectural development.
- So we started with the core project requirements:
-
Review Stage 3 documentation
-
Analyze architectural updates
-
Define BIM delivery strategy
- Following approval, project standards were established:
-
BIM coordination procedures
-
Asset data requirements
-
Stage 5 documentation standards
BIM Coordination & Validation
Engineering systems were coordinated using BIM360, Navisworks, BIMCollab, and Revizto to ensure construction readiness and installation feasibility.
- Key efficiencies included:
-
Clash detection reviews
-
Installation validation
-
Multidisciplinary coordination
This ensured that engineering systems remained coordinated throughout project delivery.
Stage 5 Delivery & Asset Data Integration
Final BIM deliverables were prepared alongside COBie asset information and Stage 5 construction documentation.
-
COBie data population
-
Stage 5 documentation
-
BIM handover package
The final BIM package supported construction delivery, asset management, and long-term building operation.
[ Results ]
The project delivered a highly coordinated BIM environment, Stage 5 construction documentation, and structured asset information that improved construction efficiency and supported long-term building operation.
