BIM Coordination is a crucial aspect of Building Information Modeling (BIM), focusing on the collaborative process of managing and resolving potential conflicts among different disciplines involved in a construction project. The goal is to ensure that all systems (e.g., structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing) work together seamlessly without clashes, which could otherwise cause delays, errors, and additional costs during construction

BIM Coordination involves identifying and resolving clashes between different building systems before construction begins. This is done using software tools that can automatically detect where different components occupy the same space.
For example, if a duct passes through a beam, this clash will be identified and resolved in the coordination phase.
Various disciplines (architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers) create separate models. BIM Coordination involves integrating these models into a single, federated model.
This integrated model allows for the identification of issues and ensures that all systems are compatible.
Coordination meetings are held among different teams to discuss and resolve any issues identified in the BIM model.
These meetings often involve reviewing the 3D model together, discussing potential conflicts, and proposing solutions.
Identified issues are tracked, assigned to the responsible team, and monitored until they are resolved.
Many BIM tools offer issue-tracking features to streamline this process.
Coordinated models are documented and shared with all stakeholders. This documentation provides clear instructions on how different systems should be installed.
The documentation also includes the resolution of clashes, ensuring everyone is aware of the final design decisions.
By resolving potential conflicts during the design phase, BIM Coordination helps reduce the likelihood of costly changes and delays during construction.
This results in a more streamlined construction process and a more predictable project timeline and budget
Letzbim has expertise in generating high quality rendered outputs from BIM models which can be used for making financial decisions as well as for marketing purposes. These renders are created through engineered models which are based on the design inputs and therefore are much more accurate than any artist's representation.
Letzbim specializes in providing Virtual reality and augmented reality solutions through the BIM model where the mode can be used as an effective tool to navigate around the building, feel it in real scale using new age tools like oculus rift and freeze design options based on these navigable models.
The real time rendering outputs given by Letzbim are a great help in taking design decisions, for example the interiors of any rooms including the finishes and materials. Clients can take decide which flooring and wallpaper to choose in their living room by putting them on the model and seeing them in real time along with cost implications.
Letzbim has become one of the leading BIM solutions companies because of its innovative approach, OEM partnerships, and Customer-centric approach that never compromises on Quality.
