Streamlined Coordination
Connect teams and disciplines for more efficient BIM delivery and seamless project execution.
Efficient coordination is the backbone of successful BIM delivery. Our streamlined coordination workflows connect teams and disciplines within a centralized digital environment—minimizing miscommunication and accelerating project progress.
By transforming traditional coordination processes into streamlined digital workflows, we help teams collaborate more effectively, resolve issues faster, and deliver more successful projects.
How We Do It
- Common Data Environments - We set up Common Data Environments (CDEs) using platforms like BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud to create a single source of truth for all project information.
- Regular Model Federation - We federate models and run clash detection on a regular cadence, ensuring that issues are identified and resolved early in the design process.
- Digital Issue Tracking - We assign issues and track resolutions through digital coordination tools, maintaining clear accountability and progress visibility.
- Structured Communication - We manage stakeholder communication with structured review cycles and action logs to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Coordination Technologies We Use
BIM 360 & Autodesk Construction Cloud
Cloud-based platforms that serve as the Common Data Environment, enabling real-time collaboration, file sharing, and version control.
Navisworks & BIM Collaborate Pro
Powerful tools for model federation, clash detection, and issue management that integrate with the Common Data Environment.
BCF (BIM Collaboration Format)
An open standard for issue tracking and communication that allows for seamless exchange of coordination information between different software platforms.
Mobile Field Solutions
Mobile applications that bring BIM coordination to the field, allowing for real-time issue reporting, model viewing, and resolution tracking on construction sites.
Our Coordination Process
CDE Setup & Workflow Definition
We establish the Common Data Environment and define coordination workflows, including file naming conventions, exchange protocols, and review cycles.
Model Federation & Clash Detection
We regularly combine discipline models into a federated model and run automated clash detection to identify spatial and logical conflicts.
Issue Assignment & Tracking
We assign identified issues to responsible parties, set resolution deadlines, and track progress through digital issue management tools.
Coordination Meetings
We facilitate regular coordination meetings to review issues, track progress, and ensure alignment across all project disciplines.
Resolution Verification & Documentation
We verify that issues have been properly resolved in updated models and document the resolution process for future reference.
Coordination Success Story
Healthcare Facility Project
A 28,000 m² medical facility with complex MEP requirements presented significant coordination challenges. By implementing our streamlined coordination approach, we achieved:
"The streamlined coordination process dramatically improved our ability to identify and resolve issues early. The team's structured approach to coordination saved time, reduced costs, and resulted in a smoother construction process."
— Project Director, Healthcare Facility
Why It Matters
Faster Issue Resolution
Streamlined coordination leads to faster issue resolution and fewer project delays, keeping schedules on track and teams productive.
Better Collaboration
Improved coordination processes foster better collaboration across trades and stakeholders, creating a more unified project team.
Reduced Risk
Early identification and resolution of design inconsistencies significantly reduces the risk of costly changes during construction.
Improved Visibility
Enhanced transparency throughout the project lifecycle gives all stakeholders greater confidence in progress and outcomes.
Industry Standards We Follow
Our coordination workflows align with ISO 19650 standards for managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset using building information modeling.
We develop and follow comprehensive BIM Execution Plans that define coordination protocols, responsibilities, and workflows specific to each project.
Our coordination processes incorporate best practices from the UK BIM Framework, ensuring compliance with international standards for information management.
We support the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) standard for issue tracking and communication, enabling seamless information exchange between different software platforms.
