BIM as a monitoring tool for a residential complex

East Uptown, Milan

UpTown, Milan’s first Smart District, located in the north-western quadrant: a significant urban redevelopment project, comprising residences, schools, libraries, and extensive green spaces, with a strong digital focus.

focus.  UpTown distinguishes itself through its focus on quality of life and sustainability. Nestled within the greenery of a vast 30-hectare park, featuring over 10 km of cycling and pedestrian paths, UpTown serves as a green lung where residents can enjoy sports and live in harmony with nature.

The project was conceived to provide its residents with a comfortable, practical and sustainable lifestyle. A place where it is possible to achieve a balance between work, family and leisure, without compromise.

compromise.  UpTown is situated in the north-western quadrant of the city, adjacent to MIND and Merlata Bloom Milano, in one of the most highly serviced and interconnected areas in Italy.

To coordinate the design, construction and maintenance phases, EuroMilano has chosen to introduce BIM as a tool for control and monitoring. Bimfactory acted as consultant/BIM Manager, supporting the client in drafting protocols (BIM Method Statement and Information Specification), and assisting with coordination during the design phase and validation of the As-Built models.

All this enabled better control over what was designed and actually built, with particular attention given to the building's management phase.
