We describe here methodologies for embedding geometric and topological operations in contemporary Building Information Modeling (BIM) Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, along with the computational implementation of domain specific evaluations; this is done to achieve the integration between spatial based spatial properties evaluations and architectural design workflows. This research describes methodologies and computational technologies used for the development of a computational design assistant in the context of laboratory buildings in Preliminary Concept Design (PCD), the geometric operations used for the creation of a prototype software are explained in their operation, and the architecture of said software is detailed.
