Canada's Cannon Design Deploys CDV CodeBook
for BIM
 PORTSMOUTH,
RI, Jan 11, 2012 - Cannon Design is deploying CodeBook, a toolset that boosts the value of building
information modeling (BIM) software applications, in the design of a new 3.5
million square foot Hospital in Montreal, Canada. For further information,

Systems, a technology systems consultancy and North America distributor of
CodeBook, is supporting Cannon Design's use of the system.Cannon Design
is part of the project consortium, which also includes DCYSA Architecture +
Design, Innisfree, OHL Construction Canada, and Laing O'Rourke Canada LTD. The
project is the largest public-private partnership (P3) commissioned in North
America.
Integrated with industry standard CAD and BIM design tools, CodeBook links to
models, shares data and gives detailed reports and validations throughout the
design and construction of a project. By providing a bridge between owners,
designers and contractors and the facility managers responsible for future
operation and maintenance (O&M), it promotes a 'whole life-cycle' approach to
procurement, delivery and operation of complex buildings.
Jill Bergman, Vice President, Cannon Design explains: “Codebook augments the team's BIM tools and leverages the database across the
project, for equipment schedules and room data management into the design
process. Managing all of the room types and repetitive data across this large
project, we needed an application that would help us validate the model outputs,
automating the review, and ensuring compliance with the hospital's emerging
standard specifications for each type of space, without having to manually count
or track anything. We also know our client will use this database for facility
management after we deliver this project.”
At 3.5 million square feet of space, this healthcare facility will have the
ability to serve 345,000 ambulatory patients, 22,000 inpatients and 65,000
emergency patients per year. This hospital will also feature 770 single-patient
rooms, ambulatory and diagnostic centers, surgery, intensive care, clinical
laboratories and a research center for over 35 medical disciplines. One of the
largest academic medical centers in North America, it is scheduled to open in
2016.
