Tønsberg Hospital

The contract comprised to architecture, landscape architecture, and all consulting engineering subjects and included preliminary projects, detailed projects, and follow-up in the construction phase. The work builds on the present sketch project. The design team works in close collaboration with the Tønsberg project as a client and Skanska AS on the contractor side. Through future-oriented methods and implementation models such as IPD (Integrated Project Delivery), VDC (Virtual Design and Construction), TVD (Target Value Design), LEAN, and Open-BIM, the Tønsberg project aimed for an implementation 10% cheaper and 50% faster above ground than comparable projects.

Success criteria: 10% reduction of project cost, 50% reduction of construction time for all constructions above ground, Zero construction errors at handover, BREEAM Very good, Equivalent quality as comparable project, A complete BIM of the building for FDVU documentation, and optimal use of product standardization.

The project won the "The buildingSMART International Awards" in 2017. The jury's reasoning states, among other things: "This project has extensively used and utilized the benefits of buildingSMART's formats, standards, and methodology, and used them in a considerable number of projects. This is an exemplary way of showing how open BIM can move the construction industry forward".
