Clash Detection
Clash Detection
The success of any project starts with effective coordination during the early design stages. With multiple specialist consultants and contractors working independently on their specific scopes, clashes between disciplines are almost inevitable. Under pressure to meet program deadlines, these specialists often issue their deliverables and upload them to a Common Data Environment (CDE) — even when the models may not yet be fully coordinated with other disciplines.
When uncoordinated models are shared, they can be used by others as a reference, leading to a chain reaction of incorrect outputs, rework, or even costly on-site issues. In some cases, even if the model is later reissued correctly, it may already be too late.
At our consultancy, we believe in tackling this challenge head-on — early and proactively. We integrate clash detection from the beginning of the design process, coordinating the work of all consultants and contractors and producing ongoing clash analysis reports. As models progress, we identify and resolve clashes in real time, ensuring that issues are addressed before deliverables are released.
If a deliverable is issued with unresolved clashes, we ensure it can be flagged or rejected within the workflow, preventing it from being shared with external parties. This protects the integrity of the project information and avoids compounding errors.
Our approach leads to smoother project delivery, fewer site issues, reduced rework, significant cost savings, and improved program adherence.
Clash Detection is at the heart of what we do — and we’re passionate about it because we’ve seen the real-world impact it delivers.
BIM MEP Coordination
MEP is arguably the most complex aspect of both the BIM process and the construction lifecycle—spanning design, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance. What makes MEP so intricate is the sheer volume of trades and disciplines operating in the same space: plumbers, electricians, ductwork installers, smoke control specialists, sprinkler and fire suppression installers, welders, equipment installers, and more. Without a clear and coordinated BIM approach, the result is often chaos on-site.
At BIMVolve, we understand that BIM is not just a design tool—it’s a construction solution. Our MEP coordination services focus on making sure designs are not only buildable, but maintainable.
We prioritise:
Installation Efficiency
Every pipe, valve, damper, and tray should be designed with the installer in mind. We ensure our coordinated models make space for access to isolation valves, pressure and temperature gauges, cable ladders, fire/smoke dampers, and more—so trades can do their work without redesigning systems on-site.
Maintenance Accessibility
We don’t just model systems—we model access zones. For example, we place access clearance zones beneath dampers or above cable trays so that future maintenance is achievable. If these zones clash with other services, our clash detection process flags them early and we work directly with consultants to resolve them before any issues arise on-site.
Practical Clash Detection
Our clash detection is driven by experience. We look beyond generic clashes and dive into constructability. Are valves reachable? Can cables be pulled? Will ductwork be removable for access? This level of detail avoids expensive on-site redesigns and rework.
Integrated Coordination Across Disciplines
Too often, disciplines work in silos—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, public health, and fire systems are modelled and drawn in isolation. We coordinate all services together and align them with architectural and structural elements to ensure real-world functionality.
Site Experience Meets Digital Expertise
Many BIM consultants are great with software but lack site knowledge. At BIMVolve, our team brings both. We’ve seen firsthand how poor coordination leads to congestion, inaccessible equipment, and wasted time and money. We’re here to change that.
The BIMVolve Approach
We carry out comprehensive MEP model reviews from early design to construction and handover. We ensure all specialist systems—HVAC, drainage, firefighting, power, containment—are reviewed with a sharp eye on installation feasibility and future access.
We engage consultants, contractors, and specialists collaboratively, and champion early-stage coordination to avoid late-stage surprises. Whether it’s ensuring an electrical panel is accessible behind an architectural wall, or that a damper can be serviced without removing ductwork, we aim to shift BIM from drawings to real-world coordination that works.
Let’s make BIM smarter—and construction smoother.
BIM MEP Coordination
BIM Progress Tracking
BIM Progress Tracking
One of the most common challenges in project delivery is the disconnect between reported progress and actual readiness of BIM deliverables. Too often, consultants and contractors claim they are on schedule, only to issue incomplete or placeholder revisions when the deliverable dates arrive. These are marked as “issued” in the system—triggering downstream workflows—yet the content is not technically complete, creating delays, inefficiencies, and frustration for all parties involved.
We provide a real-time technical assessment of BIM model progress against the project’s design and deliverable schedule. Whether your program is structured around modeling durations or drawing issue dates, we offer live visibility into where the project truly stands.
We regularly analyze the live work in progress BIM models to track actual progress and flag inconsistencies early. Our detailed reports help identify potential delays long before they surface, ensuring relevant stakeholders are alerted in time to take corrective action. This avoids the typical snowball effect that leads to project bottlenecks and construction delays.
Our service empowers project teams and clients with accurate, model-based progress insights—not just self-reported updates. It ensures that the program is adhered to realistically, helping to safeguard downstream dependencies and critical path activities.
4D BIM
4D BIM adds the element of time to a 3D model, enabling the visualization of construction sequences over a project’s timeline. By linking model components to a project schedule (e.g., Primavera or MS Project), stakeholders can simulate construction progress, identify clashes in time and space, and optimize planning strategies.
This helps improve communication, coordination, and overall decision-making throughout the lifecycle of the project.
What We Do
- At BIMVolve, we oversee and manage the successful implementation of 4D BIM workflows—ensuring your project teams are delivering accurate, useful simulations that align with your build program and stakeholder needs.

7D BIM
7D BIM
At BIMVolve, we view handover not as the end of a project, but as the beginning of a building’s operational lifecycle — a stage that demands just as much precision, planning, and care. 7D BIM enables the integration of asset data and facilities management processes into the BIM model, ensuring operational efficiency, cost control, and complete traceability from day one, transforming how buildings are operated, maintained, and managed over decades.
What is 7D BIM?
7D BIM involves the structured inclusion of asset information — such as manufacturer details, serial numbers, maintenance schedules, and warranty data — within the BIM environment. It creates a digital framework that supports efficient operation and maintenance throughout the lifecycle of the building.
With 7D BIM, clients receive a data-enriched, fully traceable digital twin of the built environment that FM teams can trust and use daily. This facilitates quicker decision-making, better maintenance planning, and a structured approach to lifecycle management.
Our Role at BIMVolve
We work closely with design teams, contractors, and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the required asset data and attributes are embedded into the BIM model during the design and construction phases. As the project progresses, we monitor the development of the asset register and hold all parties accountable to ensure consistency and completeness. The result is a seamless transition from design and construction to operations.
This approach ensures that the Facilities Management (FM) team receives a structured and intelligent digital model, not a disjointed collection of files or physical documents. In an increasingly digital era, asset information should be accessible, navigable, and integrated from day one. By treating 7D BIM as an essential project component from the outset, we eliminate the inefficiencies and missed opportunities that typically arise during project closeout.
Empowering FM Teams to Embrace the Process
Despite growing awareness of 7D BIM, industry adoption remains limited. Common barriers include:
- Poor or late asset data handover from design teams
- Unstructured or incomplete COBie data
- Lack of awareness or technical training in FM teams
- Perceived high costs of full-featured FM platforms
These challenges often prevent 7D BIM from reaching its potential — but at BIMVolve, we actively work to change that. We collaborate directly with FM and client teams, providing the necessary support, training, and strategic guidance to ensure successful adoption and implementation.
Why 7D BIM Matters
Operations and maintenance account for approximately 70–80% of the total lifecycle cost of a building across 30 to 50 years. Without accurate and accessible asset data, building operations become reactive, inefficient, and costly.
7D BIM introduces a smarter, more transparent way to manage facilities. With well-structured data, clients and FM teams can:
- Quickly locate and track assets
- Plan maintenance with confidence
- Streamline operations across disciplines
- Ensure compliance with warranty and service obligations
Driving Industry Transformation
We believe 7D BIM is not just an enhancement — it is a necessary evolution. Continuing with outdated handover methods and disconnected asset records limits what is possible in modern facility management.
At BIMVolve, we are pushing for change by demonstrating that 7D BIM is both practical and transformative. Once implemented, clients clearly see the long-term value and frequently acknowledge that earlier adoption would have significantly improved previous projects.
This is a revolutionary step in the way buildings are delivered, handed over, and managed. Our goal is to make it the new industry standard, not the exception.

Digital Twin Creation
Digital Twin Creation
At BIMVolve, we see the digital twin not as a buzzword — but as a powerful evolution of BIM that unlocks the full potential of a building beyond handover.
A digital twin is a live, dynamic representation of a built asset that reflects its real-world performance, usage, and condition over time. By integrating the BIM model with real-time data sources — from IoT sensors, BMS systems, and maintenance records — owners gain a centralized, intelligent platform for monitoring and managing their facility like never before.
How We Help You Build a Digital Twin
We guide our clients on the journey from static models to fully operational digital twins. Our role starts by ensuring the BIM model is structured, clean, and rich with the right asset data — the foundational step for any successful twin.
We then work with technology partners and client FM teams to connect the model to live data streams, creating a system that updates in real-time as the building evolves. This enables:
- Predictive maintenance through usage and condition-based monitoring
- Energy performance optimization with real-world insights
- Live dashboards for key equipment, spaces, and building performance metrics
- Faster decision-making with instant visibility on asset status
- Increased operational efficiency and long-term cost savings
A Smarter Future, Built Today
Whether you’re planning a new development or seeking to digitize an existing asset, we ensure your BIM model is future-ready — not just for handover, but for the full lifecycle.
At BIMVolve, we don’t just deliver models. We help deliver smarter buildings.
ISO 19650 Implementation & Compliance
At BIMVolve, we recognize that true project success goes beyond just delivery, it’s about clarity, accountability, and consistency from start to finish. That’s why we align our processes with ISO 19650, the international standard for managing information throughout the lifecycle of a built asset using BIM.
ISO standards are globally recognized frameworks designed to bring consistency, efficiency, and quality assurance to processes across industries. In the context of construction and BIM, ISO 19650 sets out clear requirements for managing models, data, and documentation in a structured, collaborative, and secure way — from design and construction through to handover and operation.
Maintaining compliance with ISO standards is not a box-ticking exercise, it safeguards the quality and reliability of information, reduces the risk of costly rework, and enables smooth transitions between project stages. It ensures everyone is working to a common framework, with standardized naming conventions, clear roles, delivery milestones, and approval workflows.
At BIMVolve, we align our workflows with ISO 19650 while recognizing that each project may define its own specific BIM Execution Plan (BEP) or ISO-compliant procedures. We ensure that all documentation and data are delivered in accordance with both the global ISO framework and the project-specific standards and protocols set out by the appointing party.
Our role is to monitor, validate, and support the flow of information throughout the project to ensure that it is:
- Correctly structured
- Delivered on time
- Approved through the right workflows
- Stored in a secure and accessible Common Data Environment (CDE)
We track and review submissions, ensuring clarity at every stage and helping the wider project team maintain compliance.
We believe ISO compliance is a shared responsibility not just a BIM task. That’s why we work closely with:
- Appointing Parties (e.g., clients and developers)
- Lead Appointed Parties (e.g., main consultants or contractors)
- Task Teams (e.g., architects, engineers, specialists)
to ensure ISO standards are upheld across the board.
It’s a collaborative effort — and at BIMVolve, we lead with a collaborative mindset to ensure every stakeholder is aligned and accountable.

Sustainability and BIM Integration
Sustainability at BIMVolve
At BIMVolve, sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s embedded into every stage of the project lifecycle. We believe that true environmental responsibility begins in the digital space, long before a shovel hits the ground.
Using BIM from the earliest design stages, we help our clients deliver buildings that are not only efficient but environmentally conscious. By modeling all builder’s works elements — including structural penetrations, internal wall linings, and concrete detailing — in the 3D model, we drastically reduce on-site surprises, material waste, and unnecessary rework. These elements, once captured in the model, are reflected accurately in the drawings, ensuring fewer coordination errors and less cutting or structural modification on site. That means a cleaner build, better use of resources, and a more sustainable outcome overall.
But sustainability doesn’t stop at reducing waste — it’s also about designing for long-term environmental performance.
