The MAXIMA project, situated in the heart of the eternal city of Rome, is a venture led by our affiliated studio, IT’S VISION. In this collaborative effort, Parallel Digital has undertaken comprehensive responsibility for all aspects related to the BIM environment. Located on Amba Aradam Street, our involvement in the MAXIMA project extended to the meticulous preparation and supervision of work within Revit at every stage. Our tasks ranged from creating a Digital Twin based on a laser Point cloud to developing detailed execution drawings.

Throughout the entire
project process, we leveraged advanced
Dynamo scripts for calculations and information
management, significantly enhancing the model's quality and expediting the pace of work. A significant challenge was the creation of scripts facilitating the allocation of codes for project cost estimations. These scripts had to intricately understand the features of project elements. The entire
project was executed within the Revit program, encompassing collaboration with subcontractors for plumbing, construction, electrical work, etc.
Model compatibility greatly facilitated seamless data sharing and exchange among stakeholders. Our task also involved interdisciplinary
coordination, with continuous collision checks conducted on all models. This undoubtedly will
reduce costs incurred by errors during construction or unforeseen clashes between different industry components.
For the project, all necessary Revit families, view templates, and annotation families were meticulously crafted from scratch. The successful execution of the BIM project provided us with the opportunity to seamlessly transition the project into virtual reality. Leveraging the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 for real-time virtual world generation, we can effortlessly navigate through the completed project. This not only allows us to appreciate the design but also provides the capability to closely examine specific solutions and efficiently identify any discrepancies within the project, offering an array of limitless possibilities.
