Tucker HiRise
Tucker HiRise Construction Inc. is a Toronto based construction management firm, specializing in high-density, mixed-use developments. Tucker HiRise provides development management services, mixed-use construction, and pre-construction and construction management services for complex and high-profile residential ventures. Tucker is collaborating with the Centre of Construction and Engineering Technologies to create three dimensional (3D) Building Information Management (BIM) Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) models of the top five floors of the One Bloor West mixed use development. The models will help Tucker HiRise better understand the relationships between the three listed systems and the various tradespeople that will be building on these floors. The outcomes of the project will be detailed MEP model of the top five floors of the building. These models will include electrical, mechanical, as well as heating, ventilation water, gas, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.. The George Brown team will include four architecture students who will create the models, designs, and renderings under the direction of Co-Investigators Bogdan Strafalogea,P.Eng, CEM, CMVP, LEED GA, Professor, Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies and Petro Karanxha, Building Information Modelling, Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies. M. Mehrdad Tavakkolian, Managing Director, BIM Division and Virtual Construction, Tucker HiRise Construction Inc. and Nima Parishani, BIM Cooridinator, Tucker HiRise will be involved in all phases providing feedback and expertise to the George Brown team.
