City of Terrebonne: Terrebonne police headquarters

With its ideal location and easy access to major roads, it's easy to get around quickly and efficiently.

OVERVIEW

The City of Terrebonne has a new headquarters for its police force. The building houses various key sections, including administrative and police management offices, in addition to spaces dedicated to police operations such as training rooms, a cell block, a central computer room for City, police and SCAU (Service centralisé d'appels d'urgence) equipment, and also a shooting training room containing 8 firing points. Exterior landscaping, including underground and surface parking lot, as well as a refueling station, are also included in the project.

The main goal of this project was to develop a detailed BIM management plan (BMP) and provide BIM management and execution services throughout the plans and specifications phase. The City of Terrebonne wanted to implement this approach to reduce coordination errors during the design phase, facilitate communication and visualization during coordination meetings, and thus optimize decision-making.

Thanks to our approach, we were able to improve collaboration between the various stakeholders, optimize work processes and guarantee consistency and efficiency throughout the project by energizing exchanges and promoting better understanding of the plans and specifications, thus contributing to the realization of a quality project.
