Category: Commercial over €10 million
Project: New Garda Divisional Head Quarters, Mulgannon Road, Wexford
Contractor: Duggan Brothers
Client: Office of Public Works
Contract Value: circa €22 million
The project, which was built by Duggan Brothers involved the development of a new divisional Garda Headquarters (circa 4,000m2) for Wexford Town.
The site was a brown field site, which previously contained a malt distillery, which was demolished prior to Duggan Brothers commencement on site.
Approximately 440,000 bricks were used in the construction of the project. There were significant logistical, structural, architectural, environmental and resource management techniques required throughout the project which caused staying inside the parameters of the project schedule challenging. These challenges were all managed by use of a collaborative approach between the Design and Construction teams that planned, understood and resourced the works efficiently. The implementation of this approach throughout the project reaped positive results for all of the team involved.
The Internal Joinery was a very large element within the building. The main joinery elements were Oak Ceilings, Wall Claddings, Floors, Doors, Screens plus Window and Door Linings. Duggan Brothers also had to consider as to how each joinery element would impact on the other and ensure they all blended together as seamlessly as possible.

Built to the highest standards and designed without compromise, the 59 houses at Silken Park offer some of the finest quality homes on the market today.
Built to a passive house specification, at no extra cost, due to Durkan’s in-house detailing and use of single leaf blockwork with external wall insulation, the result is extremely cost effective. The houses are NZEB ready for the incoming regulations in 2020.
The Passive House Planning Package allows Durkan Residential to value engineer their buildings before they start, meaning effectively ‘less in, more out’. Using Kore insulated slab meant a more efficient use of excavation and almost zero waste in concrete and insulation.
Throughout the project, subcontractors and suppliers were educated on the Passive House message. Passive Tool Box Talks were devised and delivered to each subcontractor, as each team member has a major role in achieving thermal bridge free and high levels of air tightness construction.

Category: BIM Excellence
Project: Clonee Data Centre, County Meath
Contractor: Mace
Client: Confidential
Contract Value: Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract
The Clonee Data Centre is currently viewed as the leading project for BIM innovation in the Mace portfolios.
Implementing BIM relies on a philosophy of project team communication and collaboration. Working closely with their Client, the Mace team at Clonee concentrated on two key goals, model management (with emphasis on tying the design review process into the construction programme), and field management (with emphasis on using the data collected in the field, to help achieve the project milestones).
Due to automated workflows and the use of APIs, Mace has a live and transparent view of all clash reports and coordination issues, as well as snag counts and O&M information hosted on a centrally located project website. This increases project progress visibility, identifying root causes and mitigating risk in the programme.
BIM workflows and procedures at the project were created with lean thinking, alongside modularised construction innovations. Data Halls C&D were handed over with zero defects with all O&M associated documentation issued to the Client in advance of practical completion.
Mace is now sharing best practise on BIM innovation and implementation with the Client and contractors across the Client’s global supply chain.

BAM
Museum of the Future, Dubai | BAM
Category: BIM Excellence
Project: Museum of the Future, Dubai
Contractor: BAM
Client: Dubai Future Foundation
Contract Value: $200 million
The Museum of the Future aims to create a permanent centre to engage the public in different conversations about what the future might look like. This $200 million, 30,000 m2 iconic building will have an instantly recognisable form like no other, epitomised by its futuristic stainless steel facade, integrated with illuminated glazed Arabic calligraphy.
There is no project that epitomises the leading edge of fully digital project delivery in the Middle East than the extraordinarily complex design of the Museum of the Future. Without BAM’s experience in BIM led projects and 3D integrated elemental design modelling, this project would not have been possible to coordinate between the main design and engineering disciplines including surveying and the information for construction to the contractor and the supply chain.

Category: BIM Excellence
Project: 1 Windmill Lane (1WML)
Contractor: John Paul Construction
Client: Hibernia REIT
Contract Value: €42 million
Located in Dublin’s SOBO District, the development at 1WML is comprised of a new 6 storey over basement office building with a floor space of 16,500 m² and a 4 storey residential building with retail space at ground floor. The Office entrance is located off Windmill Lane and is visible from Sir John Rogerson Quay.
The primary BIM deliverable on the project was a fully federated object-based construction BIM and AIM (Asset Information Model), which Hibernia REIT could utilise for the facility management phase of the building lifecycle. The AIM was to be data rich with associated digital asset information in COBie format, using Uniclass classification, with construction, fabrication and installation drawings derived as far as practically possible from the models.
