The challenge
Services clashes were being found during installation, causing rework and delays.
The solution
Remote BIM modelers built LOD 350 MEP models, ran weekly Navisworks clash tests and produced coordination reports before installation.
Workflow
- Model to BIM execution plan.
- Federate models weekly.
- Prioritise and assign clashes.
- Re-test before coordination meetings.
Lessons
Regular coordination cycles prevented costly surprises.
