BIM overall coordination

Why it matters

Clashes between structure, building services and fit-out that surface on site cost time and money, most of all where MEP and process installations are densest. Rigorous BIM coordination brings every discipline onto a single model before groundworks begin: conflicts are resolved in the model, not in the site diary. In regulated pharma and industrial environments this counts double, because on-site rework is costlier still. The result is a smoother construction programme, fewer variations and complete documentation for operations and FM handover.

How we work

Our BIM coordination follows the information delivery process defined in ISO 19650-2 and aligns with the Swiss annex SIA 2051. We federate all discipline models (IFC) into a single coordination model, run geometric and rule-based clash detection, and maintain a central issues register (BCF) throughout the coordination cycle.

1. Define the coordination plan: detection rules, responsibilities, cadence
2. Federate discipline models on the agreed delivery schedule
3. Run clash detection in Navisworks and/or Solibri; classify by priority
4. Assign BCF issues, set deadlines, verify resolution
5. Facilitate and minute coordination meetings
6. Maintain the live issues register through to practical completion
