A complex of four blocks of flats
The project concerns an exclusively residential complex made up of nine buildings organised into four separate bars. The layout of the plot follows the natural topography of the land, resulting in height discrepancies between each building and making it difficult to read the overall elevation.
The total surface area is 15,000 m², divided between 10,000 m² of living space and 5,000 m² of basements. The communal garages occupy a significant area and are a central feature of the site's organisation.
A methodology identical to that used for our major projects
As with our large-scale operations, the project was structured around a central master file. This file contains the complete topography, the shared garages and the cross-functional elements required to ensure the overall consistency of the model.
Each building bar was treated separately. Modelling was carried out building by building in order to guarantee the performance of the files, the accuracy of the controls and the legibility of the levels. Once validated, the models were integrated into the master file, ensuring complete coordination across the site.
This organisation enables independent work to be carried out on a building without compromising the coherence of the whole.
Precise height management
The main technical difficulty lay in managing the levels. No two buildings are at the same entrance altitude. The accesses, basements and external walkways are constantly offset by the natural slope of the land.
The project was not georeferenced. A zero point has been defined at the entrance to the lowest building to serve as a common height reference. This choice guarantees the internal stability of the model and enables it to be adapted to a geo-referenced system at a later date, if necessary.
Organisation of the survey on an occupied site
The scanning was carried out in a single week-long campaign with three simultaneous teams. The work was planned precisely in order to limit any inconvenience to occupants.
Each dwelling was integrated into a schedule based on two-hour time slots, enabling teams to rotate smoothly and progress continuously across the four building blocks. This organisation made it possible to avoid multiple returns and to secure the survey campaign throughout the perimeter.
