BIM coordination gives architects, consultants and contractors one shared view of the spaces where systems must fit, operate and be maintained.

What needs to be decided early

A federated model brings architecture, structure and MEP together. It reveals hard clashes, service clearances, access conflicts, riser constraints and sequencing risks before they become site rework.

The highest-value decisions are made while there is still space to coordinate architecture, structure, equipment access, programme and budget. A clear decision record gives every consultant and contractor one practical basis for delivery.

  • Use agreed levels, naming and responsibilities from day one.
  • Review clashes, clearances and maintenance access separately.
  • Close every issue with an owner, date and updated information.

How GMC turns intent into a buildable outcome

GMC focuses on constructability rather than model production alone. Priority zones are reviewed first, decisions are assigned to owners, and coordinated model releases are tied to controlled drawings for the site team.

The result is not simply a set of drawings. It is a controlled delivery path: coordinated information, accountable actions, inspection points and evidence that supports testing, commissioning and handover.

  • Confirm performance requirements with the project team.
  • Coordinate interfaces before information is released to site.
  • Track decisions, inspections and outstanding actions to closure.

PROJECT CHECKLIST

Questions to take into the next meeting

  1. Is there a BIM execution plan?
  2. Are high-risk plant rooms and risers coordinated first?
  3. Are decisions tracked through to closure?
  4. Do current drawings match the latest model?
