New structures
BIM Modeling & Coordination
Coordinated digital models that resolve conflicts before they reach the field and produce clearer structural deliverables.

- Applies to
- New construction
- Basis
- ISO 19650 · Model-based coordination
Why it matters
Most conflicts between structure, architecture and MEP are discovered on site, where they are most expensive to fix. A coordinated model moves that discovery back into design, where it costs a conversation instead of a change order.
Who this is for
- Design teams running multi-discipline coordination
- Contractors requiring model-based deliverables
- Owners who want the as-designed model to survive into operations
What the work covers
- Structural modelling — foundations, columns, slabs, walls, framing
- Federation of structural, architectural and MEP models
- Interference checking and clash resolution tracking
- Model-derived drawings, schedules and quantities
- Coordination meetings and issue reporting
- Model delivery aligned to project information requirements
Set the rules
Shared coordinates, level and grid naming, model breakdown and level of information agreed before modelling starts.
Model the structure
The structural model is built as the design source, not as a drafting by-product.
Federate
Discipline models combined and checked against each other on a fixed cycle.
Resolve
Conflicts logged, assigned and tracked to closure — with the structural fix engineered, not improvised.
Deliver
Drawings, schedules and the model itself issued as one consistent set.
What you receive
- Structural model at the agreed level of information
- Clash and issue reports with resolution status
- Model-derived drawings and schedules
- Coordination record for the project file
Considerations
- Coordination quality depends on what the other disciplines deliver and when; the process is collaborative by definition.
- A model is not a substitute for a signed and sealed drawing set — it supports it.
- Level of information should match the decision being made, not the largest number available.
- ISO 19650
- Model-based coordination
Software & open standards
The model has to survive the hand-off.
We work in the tools the rest of the project team already uses, and exchange through open formats so the model does not become a dead end when it leaves our office.
