Architecture, structure and MEP have different requirements but share one building. When developed separately, conflicts in space, levels or service routes may only become evident during construction.
Identify issues earlier
Federating discipline models helps teams review the spatial relationships between components. Clash detection helps identify issues, but specialists must assess the results in light of use, engineering solutions and construction conditions.
A coordination cycle with clear ownership
- Collect models and check the consistency of input data.
- Detect, categorize and assess the impact of issues.
- Record the location and issue, then assign responsibility.
- Discuss solutions, update models and check again.
- Keep a record of outcomes so all parties can follow and use them consistently.
Connecting the model with the site
Coordination information must become guidance that can be used on site. Version control, clear reporting and communication between designers and construction teams help turn BIM into a tool for practical work.
