Transparent boundaries and zero hidden costs

Detailed Methodology & Execution Scope

01

Agree the information requirements

The appointment records model purposes, required information, exchange formats, responsibilities and delivery dates. The level of detail is defined for each stage rather than described with a single vague label. Information needed for coordination, manufacture and operation may differ, so each use should have a clear deliverable.

02

Coordinate models and resolve issues

Discipline information can be brought together to review clashes and interfaces against agreed rules. Issues are assigned, dated and closed with an identified resolution. Type, module, dwelling and block identities remain distinct, allowing a repeated component to be tracked in its actual building location and production revision.

03

Deliver an organised project record

The agreed outputs may include a delivery plan, model responsibility matrix, coordination records and the defined model files. As-built information is prepared from verified records of completed work, not inferred from an earlier design model. Any separate BIM management fee relates to these specific deliverables, avoiding duplication of ordinary design coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Service

What Level of Development (LOD) do you provide?

Permit packages are delivered in LOD 300; production and manufacturing shop drawings reach LOD 400 with every bolt and bracket.

Is the model compatible with Revit, ArchiCAD and Allplan?

Yes; all models are exported in open standard IFC 2x3 and IFC 4, functioning seamlessly across all major architectural platforms.
