Coordination Strategy
Setting the foundation for successful BIM delivery with structured planning and clear workflows.
A solid coordination strategy sets the foundation for successful BIM delivery. We establish clear objectives, responsibilities, and communication workflows to guide the project's collaborative efforts from design to construction.
Through strategic planning, we create a structured approach to BIM coordination that aligns all project stakeholders and ensures a smooth, efficient delivery process from day one.
How We Do It
- Define Goals and KPIs - We work with the project team to establish clear coordination objectives and measurable key performance indicators.
- Map Exchange Protocols - We develop comprehensive model exchange protocols and establish regular coordination meeting cycles.
- Select Appropriate Tools - We identify and implement the right tools (e.g., Navisworks, BIM 360) to support the project's specific coordination needs.
- Align with Standards - We ensure all workflows align with the BEP and ISO 19650 requirements for maximum consistency and compliance.
Why It Matters
Prevents Confusion
A clear coordination strategy eliminates ambiguities, preventing confusion about responsibilities and workflows that can lead to scope gaps.
Promotes Accountability
Well-defined roles and responsibilities create accountability across all teams, ensuring tasks are completed according to plan.
Enables Faster Decisions
Structured coordination processes facilitate more efficient and consistent decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Reduces Project Risk
A comprehensive strategy identifies and addresses potential coordination challenges early, significantly reducing overall project risk.
Key Strategy Components
Project Environment Assessment
We analyze the project's complexity, team structure, and delivery method to create a customized coordination strategy that addresses specific project needs.
Roles and Responsibilities Matrix
We develop a detailed matrix that clearly defines coordination roles and responsibilities for all project participants, ensuring accountability and clear ownership.
Coordination Workflow Development
We establish structured coordination workflows that define model development sequences, information exchanges, and review processes throughout the project lifecycle.
Communication Protocols
We create clear communication protocols and meeting structures that facilitate effective collaboration and ensure all stakeholders remain informed and engaged.
Strategy Documentation
We compile all coordination planning into comprehensive strategy documentation that serves as a roadmap for the entire project team.
Implementation Timeline
A successful coordination strategy typically follows this implementation sequence:
Project Initiation (Week 1-2)
Assessment of project requirements, team capabilities, and coordination needs. Initial strategy outline development.
Stakeholder Alignment (Week 3)
Review of draft strategy with key project stakeholders. Refinement based on feedback and establishment of initial coordination goals.
Tool Implementation (Week 4-5)
Setup of coordination tools, templates, and platforms. Initial team training on coordination workflows.
Strategy Launch (Week 6)
Full implementation of coordination workflows. First coordination meeting following new protocols.
Continuous Improvement (Ongoing)
Regular assessment of strategy effectiveness. Process refinement based on project development and emerging needs.
