Hardstone Construction applied Dassault Systemes CATIA to create a fully integrated 3D model of the Tivoli Village mixed-use development in Las Vegas. The model supported live coordination of architectural, structural, and MEP systems, automated repetitive component design, and generated coordinated shop drawings. The approach reduced material waste, eliminated change orders, and delivered the $300 million project on time with zero contractor claims.

Key takeaways

Integrated 3D model enabled live coordination across all trades and eliminated on-site conflicts

Parametric modeling of repetitive elements reduced design time and human error risk

MEP routing optimization achieved 30 percent reduction in material quantities

Zero change orders on a $5 million framing scope, saving an estimated $1 million

Accurate as-built model created for owner operations and maintenance use
