BIM Coordination
Eliminate clashes. Align your teams. Build with confidence.
At Reltic BIM, we offer professional BIM coordination services that ensure your project runs smoothly – from design to construction. We bring together models from all disciplines, check for clashes, and support your team in resolving them early, avoiding costly delays and site errors later.
Whether you’re coordinating architecture, structure and MEP, or preparing for fabrication and installation, we help you align your models and deliver a well-organised, buildable design.
More than just clash detection
In short: BIM Coordination = combined models + clash detection + issue resolution
BIM coordination is the process of bringing together architectural, structural, and MEP models into a single, federated model to identify issues before construction begins. But it’s not just about running clash reports – it’s about enabling better teamwork, smarter decision-making, and smoother delivery.
At Reltic BIM, we go beyond basic coordination. We manage the communication between disciplines, structure the review process, and help resolve issues in a practical and proactive way – all before they become costly mistakes on site.
Key benefits of BIM coordination include:
- Fewer site conflicts and RFIs
- More efficient design meetings
- Faster issue resolution across teams
- Improved model accuracy and quality
- Reduced rework and budget risk
Smart plans. Smooth builds.
Put simply – clearer designs, quicker progress, and fewer on-site surprises.
When different teams work in isolation, design clashes and miscommunication can quickly lead to delays and costly changes. BIM coordination brings all disciplines together in one unified model, so potential problems are caught early, and everyone stays on the same page.
Key benefits of BIM coordination:
- Detects design clashes early between all disciplines
- Ensures accurate, fully aligned project models
- Encourages smooth collaboration between project teams
- Speeds up approvals with better visual clarity
- Reduces design changes, delays, and extra costs
- Prepares your model for a smooth handover to site
How Reltic BIM keeps your project in sync
Our coordination service is based on industry standards, real project experience, and a deep understanding of design and build workflows. Here’s how we work:
Receive and review models
We gather models from all disciplines (Revit, IFC, Navisworks, etc.) and assess structure, completeness and naming conventions.
Combine models into a federated view
We create a combined project model using tools like Navisworks Manage, allowing us to run thorough clash detection and visual checks.
Identify and categorise clashes
We detect hard and soft clashes and categorise them by discipline, severity and location – so issues can be prioritised and resolved effectively.
Produce coordination reports
We generate structured, user-friendly reports, complete with screenshots, clash types and issue IDs – ready for review in coordination meetings.
Host regular coordination meetings
We lead or support weekly BIM coordination sessions, working collaboratively with all stakeholders to agree on solutions.
Monitor issue
resolution
We track issues across revisions, ensuring nothing gets missed – and helping the team move towards a coordinated, construction-ready model.
From early design to on-site delivery
Our BIM coordination services support construction projects through every RIBA stage - from early design development to full on-site coordination. We work closely with all disciplines to align architectural, structural, and MEP models, ensuring conflicts are resolved before they become costly issues.
Whether you're working on a tight urban site or a multi-phase development, we help deliver a fully coordinated model that’s clear, accurate, and buildable - ready for smooth handover to the construction team.
From bespoke single homes to large-scale housing schemes, BIM coordination ensures that architectural, structural, and MEP models work together seamlessly. We help prevent costly rework by identifying potential issues early, keeping your project on track and within budget.
Complex buildings with multiple functions need tightly integrated planning. Our coordination process brings together all disciplines to create a single, unified model - reducing clashes and improving the efficiency of both design and construction teams.
Contractors working under design and build agreements rely on accurate, buildable models. We align your design intent with practical construction workflows, supporting site logistics, sequencing, and procurement strategies with clear, clash-free outputs.
Projects involving premium finishes, existing structures, or limited space demand precision. Our team coordinates detailed architectural and MEP models, helping avoid installation conflicts and protecting the integrity of design intent during refurbishment works.
Hospitals, schools, and government buildings face unique compliance challenges. We support public projects with fully integrated BIM models that meet strict regulations, improve stakeholder communication, and support facilities management long after handover.
Off-site construction requires precision before components leave the factory. We provide coordinated digital models that support prefabrication, delivery planning, and seamless assembly on site - reducing waste, errors, and construction time.

FAQs About BIM Coordination
We’ve answered some of the most common questions clients ask about our coordination services – from how it works to who it’s for. If you need more details, just get in touch!
What is BIM Coordination?
BIM Coordination is the process of combining architectural, structural, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) models into one federated model. This allows us to detect design clashes, resolve spatial issues, and ensure everything fits together before construction begins – helping to avoid costly errors and delays on site.
When should BIM Coordination start?
The earlier, the better. We recommend starting during the design development stage, but it can still add value later on – particularly before technical design, procurement, or construction begins. Early coordination means fewer design changes down the line and smoother project delivery.
Is BIM Coordination only for large projects?
Not at all. Even smaller residential or refurbishment projects benefit from well-coordinated models. BIM Coordination helps reduce misunderstandings, speed up approvals, and ensure everything works together on site – no matter the project size.
What software do you use for coordination?
We use a range of industry-standard tools including Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360, Solibri, and others depending on project requirements. These allow us to manage clashes, track issues, and produce clear coordination outputs for your team.
Can you work with models from our existing design team?
Yes. We’re happy to work with models provided by your architect, engineer, or subcontractors – whether they’re in Revit, IFC, or other formats. Our goal is to integrate everything into one cohesive model for accurate coordination.
How do you handle clash detection and resolution?
We run detailed clash detection using tools like Navisworks Manage, then share structured reports or use issue-tracking platforms like BIM Track or BIM 360 Issues. Each issue is logged, prioritised, and shared with the relevant team for resolution – with full transparency at every step.
Can BIM Coordination help with complex refurbishments?
Definitely. Refurbishments, especially with intricate MEP or tight spatial constraints, benefit hugely from coordinated models. We help ensure that new systems fit within existing structures, reducing the risk of delays, redesigns, or surprises during installation.
