BIM coordination is the process of integrating architectural, structural, and MEP models to identify and resolve spatial conflicts before construction begins. It's essential because it eliminates costly field conflicts, reduces rework, improves construction efficiency, and ensures all building systems work together harmoniously. This proactive approach saves time, money, and prevents construction delays.

Clash detection uses specialized software to analyze integrated BIM models and identify where building elements occupy the same space or conflict with each other. Common conflicts include structural beams interfering with ductwork, plumbing pipes clashing with electrical conduits, and equipment placement issues. Our advanced tools detect hard clashes (physical conflicts) and soft clashes (clearance violations).

BIM coordination should begin during the design development phase and continue throughout construction documentation. Early coordination provides maximum benefits by identifying conflicts when design changes are less costly. We typically start coordination when discipline models reach 60-70% completion, allowing time for conflict resolution before construction begins.

We utilize industry-leading coordination software including Autodesk Navisworks, BIM 360 Coordinate, Solibri Model Checker, and Tekla BIMsight. These tools enable comprehensive clash detection, model integration, collaborative review sessions, and detailed reporting. Our team is certified in multiple platforms ensuring optimal coordination regardless of project software requirements.

Timeline depends on project complexity and model size. Standard projects require 2-4 weeks for comprehensive coordination including clash detection, resolution meetings, and model updates. Complex projects may require 4-8 weeks. We provide detailed schedules during initial consultation, ensuring coordination completion aligns with your construction timeline and project milestones.
