Overview
When freeform geometry demands perfect trade coordination
Complex facades mean multiple trades with different production timelines, and steel delays strand facade crews with nothing to install. This freeform geometry project coordinated steel structure and facade panels across roadside, riverside, and roof sections, where each trade's progress directly impacted the other's ability to work. See how dual workflow tracking prevented costly crew downtime and kept interdependent trades synchronized.
Challenge
Steel runs late, facade crews stand around
Facade panels couldn't install until steel structure completed across roadside, riverside, and roof sections, creating critical dependencies where steel delays would strand specialized facade crews on site with no productive work, threatening schedule momentum and accumulating idle time costs that erode project margin.
Eight stages for steel, four for facade, one system for both
Steel fabrication required eight detailed checkpoints from material cutting through painting completion, while facade needed four assembly-to-installation stages. Conventional tracking couldn't accommodate both processes simultaneously without forcing one trade into an ill-fitting workflow that would obscure actual progress.
Triangular grids don't fit rectangular spreadsheets
The triangular grid structure spanning roadside elevation, riverside elevation, and roof created complex spatial relationships where progress in one section affected multiple others. Teams risked losing coordination across the three zones, leading to material delivery mistiming and installation sequence confusion.
Solution
Steel tracks steel's way, facade tracks facade's way
Steel teams tracked their eight fabrication checkpoints while facade tracked four stages, each at the granularity their production method actually needed, without forcing artificial alignment that would hide real progress.
One model shows where both trades stand
Both steel and facade workflows displayed together across roadside, riverside, and roof sections, showing field teams exactly where steel painting completion enabled facade installation without requiring cross-referencing between separate systems or specialized software training.
Revisions absorbed, history preserved
Three Tekla steel packages and one Rhino facade package fed model updates throughout construction. Each revision integrated without disrupting progress tracking or requiring manual data migration as soon as the design team issued an update.
Results
Facade crews never waited for steel
Steel stayed ahead of facade throughout the project. Crews never arrived to find previous work incomplete, avoiding the premium mobilization costs that come from stop-start scheduling across dependent trades.
Dual workflows tracked without compromise
Eight-stage steel process and four-stage facade process ran simultaneously at appropriate granularity levels, giving each trade meaningful progress visibility without forcing simplified tracking that would obscure critical production details.
Continuous design updates, zero tracking resets
Four separate BIM packages updated continuously throughout construction without losing tracking history or requiring hours of manual data migration that typically disrupts coordination when design teams issue revisions.
Summary
Complex geometry, dual trades, synchronized delivery
When steel and facade depend on each other across freeform geometry, coordination failures cost real money in crew downtime. This project proved that different trades can track progress at different granularities while maintaining spatial coordination that keeps everyone productive. Steel crews stayed ahead, facade teams never waited, and design revisions became routine instead of disruptions.
