BIM Coordination for a Commercial Development in Ireland

BIM Coordination for a Commercial Development in Ireland Project Snapshot • Project type: Commercial development • Location: Ireland • Client type: Consultant • Project phase: Design + Construction • BIM services: Multidisciplinary BIM authoring, model federation, coordination, drawing extraction, IFC delivery • Disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEPF The Challenge • The project was delivered on a fast-track programme, leaving little tolerance for design conflicts or late coordination • Multiple consultants and stakeholders were contributing design inputs in parallel, increasing coordination risk • The client required a fully coordinated BIM model before site mobilisation to reduce uncertainty during construction Our BIM Approach • We established an ISO 19650–compliant BIM execution framework, including BEP, CDE setup, and clear modelling standards • All disciplines were federated into a single coordination model, developed to LOD 300–350 to support construction readiness • Coordination efforts were prioritised around high-risk zones such as risers and plantrooms • Weekly coordination cycles and structured clash reports ensured timely issue resolution and alignment across teams Results & Impact • More than 1,200 clashes were identified and resolved before construction commenced • Early coordination contributed to an estimated 20% reduction in RFIs • Site teams received coordinated models and drawings, reducing ambiguity and rework risk Value Delivered • Acted as an end-to-end BIM coordination partner, bridging design and construction • Enabled predictable delivery on a compressed programme through early risk removal • Provided the client with confidence to proceed to site with coordinated information
