Building information modelling
We ensure that digital building plans for your new or renovated property are compatible. Building information modelling (BIM) will streamline your project from cost accounting to site.

We coordinate plans, goals and operations
3D model helps to visualise, for example, the appearance of a new building or the functionality of a walkway at an early stage of a project. BIM makes it easier for the project partners to understand and revise the plans. It also helps to compare alternatives in terms of costs and other variables.
Even a single large-scale project will include several data models of, for example, the building or bridge structure being designed. We offer our expertise in coordinating data models, right from the start of your project. Unbiased, reliable model helps with the initial quantity and cost calculation of your project.
Data model coordination facilitates collaboration on sites
Bulding information modelling is also used for plan evaluation and work planning during the construction phase. Through coordination, we can help you to schedule and visualise future phases of work, monitor progress on site, and plan and monitor safety at work. BIM also supports the phasing of procurement.
"At its best, BIM also supports planning and site scheduling, procurement and phasing."
A properly designed and coordinated building information model is an important communication tool for the project. We also support your construction project with inventory modelling, if required, as well as Matterport and drone imagery to accurately incorporate existing structures, land masses or pathways into the information modelled plans.
Services of a data model coordinator from project planning to commissioning
We can provide you with specific expertise in information modelling for the structural engineering, architectural design, electrical engineering, roof planning or bridges.
Our BIM coordinator is responsible for the overall coordination of plans for your new build and renovation projects. As an impartial observer, our BIM coordinator will ensure that your plans are compatible and consistent with each other.
You get all the data models for your project at the same level of detail, according to your needs. We use advanced software for coordination, ensuring high quality and usability of the data models at all stages of the project.
Data model coordination at all stages of your project
- Project planning phase: our data modelling experts help you to create guidelines for the tendering of designers and data modelling. We work with you to define the project objectives and information modelling requirements based on how the information model will be used in the project.
- Master and implementation design phase: Once the designers have been selected, the data model coordinator will ensure that the whole design team works according to a common set of rules. We also help to keep the building permit process running smoothly, as the application for a building permit will be based on the coordinated information model. The data model will be refined in stages. For example, when designing a building, we first coordinate the architectural and structural plans, then the main building services routes. In the implementation design phase, the coordination continues in increasing detail.
- Site phase and commissioning. The tasks of the information coordinator continue on site if the design continues alongside the construction. We will ensure that data models are updated and reconciled as required. The data model coordinator will also be involved in the final documentation to ensure that the data transfer works and the models are updated to a consistent as-built model. We also ensure that the digital deliverables are fully compliant with changing legislation.
