Digital Delivery Across a $320m Mixed-Use Development

Project Overview

Bringing structure, control, and coordination to a developer’s first BIM-enabled project

TOGA Central is a $320m mixed-use development in Sydney’s Tech Central precinct, combining a commercial tower, hotel, heritage asset, and public domain works.

Challenge

This was TOGA’s first BIM-enabled project. Without an established delivery framework, there was a real risk of inconsistent information, poor coordination across disciplines, and limited control over design and asset data—particularly with a highly constrained heritage structure requiring 90% retention.

Failure here would translate directly into rework, programme risk, and unreliable asset information at handover.

IIMBE Role

IIMBE was engaged as Digital Delivery lead, responsible for establishing and managing structured digital delivery across design and coordination.

DEFINE

We established TOGA’s digital delivery foundation from the ground up.

This included defining BIM and information management requirements, shaping tender expectations, and aligning consultants to a clear, ISO 19650-aligned delivery approach. Just as importantly, we worked directly with TOGA’s leadership to ensure digital processes supported commercial outcomes—procurement clarity, coordination confidence, and long-term asset usability.

DELIVER

We led federated model coordination and information governance across all disciplines.

The heritage Parcels Post building introduced significant complexity. We implemented laser scanning and model validation workflows to ensure accurate integration between retained structure and new construction. Coordination processes were structured, auditable, and actively managed—improving visibility of issues, strengthening accountability, and enabling earlier resolution of design conflicts.

This shifted coordination from reactive to controlled.

ENABLE

Beyond the project, we embedded capability within TOGA.

We established governance structures, delivery expectations, and internal understanding that now inform future developments. This was not a one-off intervention—it created a repeatable approach to digital delivery across their portfolio.

Outcome

TOGA moved from no defined BIM capability to structured, controlled digital delivery on a highly complex asset.

Coordination risk was materially reduced, design integration—particularly with heritage—was executed with confidence, and information governance was strengthened across the supply chain.

Critically, TOGA now has a scalable digital delivery foundation—improving certainty on future projects and ensuring asset information is reliable beyond handover.
