BIM coordination and Revit automation
For developers and manufacturers who need every discipline's model to agree before anything is made. We set the BIM strategy, run the federated model and clash detection, and write Revit tools that take repeat work off your team.


01One federated model
We write the BIM execution plan and the information requirements at the start. Together they set out what each discipline models and what it hands over. Structural, architectural and MEP inputs come together in one federated model. We run clash detection and send the clashes back as reports, so they are fixed in the model rather than found on site or at the saw. At the end, the digital handover documentation is specified and issued with the building.
02Revit tools that remove repeat work
Some of the work on every project is the same job done again by hand. We write Revit add-ins and scripts to take it off your team. One puts a QR code on every issued drawing: scan it, and Autodesk Construction Cloud shows whether that sheet is current or superseded. We also build family libraries of windows, doors, framing and membranes, and every plot uses the same parts. Each tool is tested on real models in every Revit version we support, so a software update does not break it.
03Where coordination stops
We coordinate the models. Detailed system design models stay with the engineers and specialists who own them. We bring their models into the federated model and check them against everything else.
