BIM Coordination Services
Review Building Systems Together Before They Reach the Field
BIM coordination brings architectural, structural and MEP information into a shared review process to identify conflicts and coordination issues.
Quick Answer · BIM-200.QA
BIM coordination reviews architectural, structural and MEP models together to find spatial and system conflicts before they reach the field. It is for project teams whose discipline models already exist and need to be checked against each other. FirstPass aggregates the models, aligns disciplines, runs clash and clearance review, tracks issues and delivers updated coordinated models based on the agreed workflow.
For
Teams with multiple discipline models that must work together
You receive
Clash review, issue tracking and updated coordinated models
Depending on project needs, the process can include:
- Model aggregation
- Discipline alignment
- Clash review
- Spatial coordination
- Clearance review
- Issue tracking
- Coordination meetings
- Updated coordinated models
- Drawing coordination
NoteCoordination scope follows the project and the models available for review. Not every element applies to every project.

BIM can help identify conditions such as:
No.Condition
- CI-01Ductwork crossing structural framing
- CI-02Plumbing occupying the same space as another service
- CI-03Equipment without access clearance
- CI-04Ceiling systems conflicting with lights or diffusers
- CI-05Shafts that do not align
- CI-06MEP penetrations not reflected elsewhere
- CI-07Models using inconsistent coordinates or levels

BIM Coordination Is Not the Same as BIM Modeling

If models already exist and need to be reviewed together, BIM Coordination is the more appropriate service.

BIM Coordination FAQs
Response
Typically models from the relevant disciplines plus project standards and coordination requirements.
Response
No. It is a coordination tool, not a guarantee that every possible issue will be eliminated.
Response
Yes, where the relevant model information is available and included in scope.
Response
Issue reporting can be included depending on the agreed workflow.
