BIM COORDINATION
Structured coordination of multidisciplinary models to reduce risk, improve sequencing and support reliable project delivery.
01 Common project issues addressed
Many projects experience coordination failures due to fragmented model ownership, inconsistent reference frameworks and lack of structured review cycles. Typical issues include unresolved spatial clashes, missing service routes, incorrect level references and late-stage design changes that propagate downstream.
These problems are often systemic rather than isolated. Effective coordination addresses root causes through structured workflows rather than reactive fixes.
02 Coordination Workflow
A defined coordination cycle is established for each project stage, typically aligned to design freezes or information exchanges. The workflow includes model federation, spatial checking, issue logging, responsibility assignment and resolution tracking.
- Weekly or fortnightly coordination cycles aligned to project programme
- Federated model reviews using agreed reference points and grids
- Issue categorisation by severity, discipline and resolution owner
- Status tracking through CDE-integrated issue management
03 Clash Detection Process
Clash detection is executed systematically using predefined rule sets that reflect real construction tolerances and design intent. Results are filtered to remove false positives and grouped by zone, system and discipline pair.
Reports are structured to support decision-making rather than simply listing intersections. Each clash group includes spatial context, suggested resolution ownership and priority classification.
