Moorfields clinicians shape design via Revizto

Clinicians and healthcare specialists, via Revizto, are helping to shape the design and deliverability of the £300m Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health in London.
The project is a partnership between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity. It spans 47,000 sq m of highly technical space in Camden. This includes operating theatres, blackout rooms, specialised research labs and a dedicated accident and emergency department. Bouygues UK, as main contractor, is delivering the project.
Bouygues UK is using Revizto to bridge the gap between technical design and production teams. By aggregating models from Revit and Civil 3D into a single, lightweight environment, the team could provide stakeholders with a 360-degree view of the project within hours of a model update.
This is not a paywall. Registration allows us to enhance your experience across Construction Management and ensure we deliver you quality editorial content.
Registering also means you can manage your own CPDs, comments, newsletter sign-ups and privacy settings.
The fully navigable 3D model allows clinicians and healthcare specialists to walk through operating theatres, assess the positioning of medical gas outlets and map patient flows through clinical spaces, crucially months before construction teams reach those areas.
Using Revizto’s platform to bring clinicians, engineers and construction teams together in a shared digital environment, Bouygues has resolved design issues, reduced errors and minimised costly rework – with clash detection time reduced from a week to 10-15 minutes.
Real-time resolution
Lewis Wenman, lead BIM manager at Bouygues UK, said:“Traditionally, delivery specialists in different construction disciplines – whether that’s structural engineers, MEP contractors or fire safety teams – are working from separate drawings and models, often shared weeks apart. Errors compound invisibly until they surface on site, where fixing them exponentially is more expensive.
“At Moorfields and UCL Centre for Eye Health, with Revizto, that fragmentation is being replaced with a single live environment, accessible to every team on the project. Design conflicts are being surfaced automatically, and issues are logged, tracked, owned and resolved in real-time. That’s the difference between weeks of back-and-forth and a 10-minute conversation.”
Arman Gukyasan, founder and CEO at Revizto, added: “Construction has a rework problem – and it usually surfaces on site, once it’s too late. On a project like this, a late design change isn’t just a budget and coordination risk. It can cost public money and delay the essential facilities that patients are waiting for.
“When a surgeon can virtually walk through the space they’re going to work in, flag a problem, and see it resolved in minutes rather than weeks, that’s coordination working as it should. Not in a pilot, but on a live, mission-critical build at scale. That’s the benchmark we want to help the industry set.“
The centre is expected to welcome its first patients in summer 2027.
