frozen partition elevation
Using BIM software including plug-ins for Autodesk Revit, all openings can be auto-formed around services penetrating partition models. Openings are formed as per firestopping manufacturer’s recommendations taking account of sizing and deflection limits. Opening information is inputted using the Naming Conventions outlined with the BIM Execution Plan, contributing to the traceability aspect of the process. All trade contractors have the ability to move and change the size of openings up until the builders work freeze date. Following the freeze date consultation with relevant supply chain partners including partition panel manufacturers & the firestopping material suppliers can take place. Should comments be received, requests for openings to be adjusted to comply with the structural & Fire Integrity of the wall are addressed and models are updated where necessary. Once the review process is completed, the openings become ‘frozen’ within the federated model. Builders work Elevations for the frozen area will be issued to all project teams and any change or additional penetrations can be communicated through the Change Process, creating a level of flexibility to account for error or change.
