What our BIM coordination service covers
Clash detection software can find thousands of clashes in an hour; coordination is the work of turning those into a short list of real problems and getting each one resolved by the right person. We set clash rules and tolerances, group results by system and location, filter out duplicates and acceptable conflicts, and issue a clear list of issues with screenshots, responsibility and due dates.
We run coordination cycles on your schedule – often weekly – with updated models from each trade. Issues are tracked in BCF through tools such as Navisworks, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revizto or BIMcollab, so designers and trades see them in their own software. Progress reports show open, resolved and new issues by discipline and level.
For MEP-specific coordination drawings, sleeves and hangers, see MEP BIM clash detection. For 4D and 5D, see virtual design and construction.

BIM Coordination Services standards in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia
We set up every project on the standard of the country where it will be built or manufactured. These are the references we work to most often:
| Country | Standards and codes we draft BIM coordination services to |
|---|---|
| USA | BIMForum LOD Specification, AIA E203/G202 BIM protocols, NBIMS-US v4, NCS for sheets from the model |
| UK | BS EN ISO 19650-1/-2, UK BIM Framework guidance, Uniclass 2015 classification, COBie where required |
| Canada | CanBIM Protocol and LOD guides, Canadian Practice Manual for BIM, ISO 19650 where adopted |
| Australia | AS ISO 19650, NATSPEC National BIM Guide and BIM Object/Element Matrix, state government digital engineering standards |
How our BIM coordination services process works
- 1Send your files
Upload sketches, PDFs, markups, photos, scans or a model through the quote form. Tell us the standard (US, UK, Canada or Australia) and the deadline.
- 2Fixed quote in hours
We review the scope and reply with a fixed price, the deliverables list and a delivery date. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 3Drafting & modeling
Your project is drawn in AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, SolidWorks or the software you use, on your title block, layers and templates.
- 4QA check
A second drafter checks dimensions, annotations, layer standards, sheet numbering and cross-references against your input before anything is sent.
- 5Delivery & revisions
You receive native files plus PDFs. Comments come back as markups and we revise them quickly until the set matches the brief.
Turnaround and pricing
Coordination runs in cycles; the first full clash report is typically delivered within 3–5 business days of receiving the models. Every job is priced as a fixed quote after we review your files, so you know the cost and the delivery date before work starts. See how our pricing works, or send your files through the quote form for a quick estimate.
