What constitutes a Full Design Model?

The Full Design Model is characterized by a collaborative approach that integrates various design elements from different disciplines within the construction process, such as architecture, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing). This level of modeling ensures that all aspects of the design are coordinated and conflict-free, allowing for a comprehensive view of the project.

In a collaborative model, all stakeholders can contribute to and access the model, ensuring that changes made by one discipline are reflected across the model immediately. This enhances communication and aids in the early identification of potential issues, thereby streamlining the design and construction processes.

Other options, while they contain elements of design modeling, fall short of the Full Design Model's requirements. Simple sketches do not provide the depth and detail needed for effective design coordination. A model focusing solely on architectural details lacks the integration from other crucial disciplines. A repetitive model meant for training is not intended for actual design purposes and does not encapsulate the comprehensive requirements of a Full Design Model.
