Practical notes on BIM delivery, model coordination and building services.
LATEST ARTICLES
Clear, useful guidance for teams developing and coordinating building information models.
Begin with the project brief, source information and available ceiling or service zones. Develop routes in coordination with structure, architecture and other MEPF systems, then review the federated model with the project team.
Clash detection helps identify spatial conflicts. Each issue should be reviewed, assigned and rechecked after an agreed adjustment.

Agree the service zones and model requirements early. Review tray and conduit routes with structure, ceiling elements and mechanical systems to support access and coordination.
Use a consistent model view and issue log so the team can track each decision through review and resolution.

Coordinate sprinkler pipework and equipment with structure, ceilings and other building services. Run clash tests using agreed tolerances, then review each result with the responsible discipline.
Record decisions and re-run tests after model updates before issuing coordinated information.
