Building Information Modelling (BIM)
We coordinate discipline models, identify clashes, and maintain a clear digital record of issues, decisions, and deliverables.
Service scope
Core deliverables
Discipline and federated models with clash detection and closure
Shop-drawing review, issue registers, and coordinated deliverables
What this service strengthensFewer clashesFaster coordinationMore reliable coordination information
Technical documentation
Our technical record includes these types of multidisciplinary outputs. Project-sensitive drawings are not published without the applicable usage permission.
- Architectural modelling in Revit
- Architectural, structural, and MEP model coordination
- Opening management, clash review, and closure
- Shop-drawing review and maintenance of project BIM requirements
Delivery method
From discipline models to tracked coordination decisions
- 01
Define coordination requirements
Review model uses, disciplines, available versions and project-specific delivery requirements.
- 02
Assemble and review models
Review discipline inputs and organise the federated model to examine interfaces and openings.
- 03
Manage clash issues
Record issues, identify the responsible discipline, review solutions with the team and update action status.
- 04
Review the coordinated issue
Check model and related drawing updates, documenting remaining issues and delivery limits.
Common questions
Does a three-dimensional model mean the design is coordinated?
No. Coordination requires the relevant discipline models, interface review and a record of issues, decisions and closure updates. Visual presentation alone does not establish that these tasks are complete.
Can AYM work with models prepared by other designers?
Available models can be reviewed for coordination readiness and required updates. Modelling or coordination scope and each discipline’s responsibility for changes are defined before work starts.
What to prepare for our first discussion
A short brief is enough to start. We will confirm which records are needed after understanding your scope.
- Latest available architectural, structural and MEP models
- BIM requirements, intended model uses and required deliverables
- Shop drawings and any existing clash or comment register
- Discipline teams, update responsibilities and issue dates
From a clash result to a defined coordination scope
A clash report shows no results: were all required models checked?
In a hypothetical review, the team presents a clash report with no results, but the latest MEP model was not included. The report describes what was actually checked; it does not by itself establish coordination of the package to be issued.
- Inputs: The model and discipline register, revisions and reference coordinates, test zones, rules and exclusions, and the associated issue log and drawings.
- Check: Compare required models with those loaded and included in the test. Verify revision and position, excluded objects or zones and the reasons for exclusion, and previous issue status. Excluding an item or changing its status is not an engineering design change.
- Coordination action: Record the missing model or readiness constraint, assign the update, and repeat coordination of the affected scope. Review options with discipline designers; model coordination alone does not authorize alteration of a structural member or technical system.
- Closure evidence: A register of tested revisions and rules, updated results, a documented decision for each scoped issue, consistency with related drawings, and a statement of remaining issues.
The example is educational, not an AYM case. Coordination depends on scope and input quality and does not guarantee detection of every design or construction error. Performance and maintenance-access reviews may still be needed when elements do not geometrically intersect.
