Project overview
Changi Airport Terminal 5 is Singapore's boldest aviation infrastructure project. Designed to handle 50 million passengers annually, the terminal complex demanded BIM coordination across architectural, structural, MEP, baggage handling, airside, and landside disciplines.
What made this project complex
Airport terminals are among the most complex building types — integrating passenger flow, baggage systems, retail, security infrastructure, and mechanical services within strict aviation safety codes. Coordinating these systems across a 1,080-hectare site required unprecedented model management.
How BIM coordination delivered
A federated BIM model was managed through Autodesk Construction Cloud, with discipline-specific models linked via shared coordinates. Navisworks clash detection was run weekly, with a dedicated coordination team resolving clashes across all six disciplines before each milestone submission.
Measurable outcomes
Coordinated 6 disciplines in a single federated environment
Reduced design conflicts by 82% before construction
Enabled phased construction scheduling from BIM data
Delivered compliant models to Singapore BCA standards
