BIM Management and Coordination
Making Sure All Models Speak the Same Language
When multiple disciplines are involved in a project, coordination issues and model inconsistencies can arise.
We manage the coordination process to identify and address these issues within the models, helping teams improve collaboration and reduce the risk of costly problems later in the project lifecycle.
What Are BIM Coordination and BIM Management, and Why Do We Need Them?
BIM Coordination enables the integration and review of models from all project disciplines—architecture, structure, and building services—to identify clashes, resolve issues, and ensure that information is consistent before construction begins.
BIM Management goes a step further by defining the processes, standards, and information workflows that allow all project stakeholders to work in a coordinated manner throughout the project lifecycle.
Both services are essential for reducing errors, minimising costs associated with changes during construction, and ensuring reliable and up-to-date information. They are particularly valuable in new-build, refurbishment, and renovation projects, for both private developers and public sector organisations.
Who Is This Service For?
Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar?
Models from different disciplines contain clashes that were not identified until construction began.
Each subcontractor is working with outdated information because there is no single source of project documentation.
The project has no BEP, and there is no clear understanding of responsibilities, deliverables, or information requirements.
BIM Coordination with ISO 19650: What Does It Mean in Practice?
ISO 19650 is the international reference standard for information management in BIM projects. Its purpose is to establish clear collaboration processes, define responsibilities, and ensure that information is reliable, accessible, and properly managed throughout the entire project lifecycle.
In practice, this means having a clear BEP from the outset, a CDE where all project documentation is stored with proper version control, and a review and approval workflow that prevents teams from working with outdated information.
We manage the entire process, from defining the BIM strategy and developing the BEP to administering the Common Data Environment (CDE) throughout the project lifecycle. Our platforms enable the centralisation of information, improve collaboration between teams, and ensure data traceability at every stage of the project.
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, write to us. We respond in less than 24 hours.
A CDE (Common Data Environment) is the environment where all information related to a BIM project is centralised, including models, documents, revisions, and communications. Its purpose is to facilitate collaboration between different teams, ensuring that everyone works with the correct information and has access to the data they need at each stage of the project.
More than just a tool, it is a structured approach to managing information that improves coordination, communication, and collaboration across the project team.
We work with the leading CDE platforms used in BIM projects, adapting to the requirements and tools defined by each organisation or project. Our experience allows us to integrate into different information management environments and collaborate effectively with all project stakeholders.
If your project uses a specific platform, we can assess its characteristics and determine the most effective way to integrate into the existing workflow.
A BEP (BIM Execution Plan) is the document that defines how BIM methodologies will be implemented within a project. It sets out key aspects such as project objectives, workflows, roles and responsibilities, deliverables, and information management requirements.
Responsibility for preparing the BEP may vary depending on the project’s characteristics and requirements. In many cases, it is developed by the BIM management team or by specialist consultants who coordinate its preparation with the relevant project stakeholders.
Yes. BIM coordination can be applied to new-build projects as well as refurbishments, renovations, extensions, and interventions in existing buildings. In fact, it is particularly valuable in these types of projects, helping to coordinate disciplines, identify potential clashes, and improve planning before construction work begins.
BIM methodologies provide a clearer understanding of the project and support more efficient information management, regardless of the scale or nature of the intervention.
Do You Have a Project with Multiple Models and No Coordination Process in Place?
