Coordination Tip of the Week ๐Ÿšจ

Always make sure you're coordinating with the latest models.

There's nothing worse than spending days coordinating a project, only to discover that the latest design team model wasn't loaded.

That's why it's vital to download and load the latest architectural, structural and MEP models as soon as updates are issued.

Regularly checking that everyone is working with the most up-to-date information helps avoid wasted effort and keeps the coordination process on track.

This makes it easier to:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Coordinate using the latest design information
๐Ÿ‘‰ Avoid reviewing issues that have already been resolved
๐Ÿ‘‰ Reduce rework caused by outdated models
๐Ÿ‘‰ Keep the entire project team aligned.

Good coordination starts with good model management. A simple habit of regularly updating your federated model can save hours of unnecessary work and help prevent costly issues later in the project.

After all, it's far better to catch coordination issues in the model than discover them on site.

When should BIM coordination really start? ๐Ÿ‘€

Many people assume itโ€™s once the design is well underway...

But thereโ€™s also the argument that the earlier potential issues are identified, the more opportunity there is to make changes before they become costly problems.

So, we want to know what you think (and when you use BIM):

At what stage do you think BIM coordination adds the most value? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Let us know in the comments

Project spotlight: Infinity Labs ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Weโ€™re excited to share another project weโ€™ve recently had the pleasure of working on.

Working alongside Accolade Building Services, weโ€™ve been involved in the Infinity Labs development at Southampton Science Park (a landmark three-storey laboratory building that will provide 3,400 sqm of new laboratory space, complete with a distinctive curved design and integrated green roof).

With limited ceiling void space and a high density of building services, careful BIM coordination and proactive clash detection were essential to minimise site conflicts, support efficient installation and maintain smooth project delivery.

Our role involved developing the Stage 4 design information into a fully coordinated Stage 5 model and drawing package, incorporating value engineering alongside ongoing design development to support efficient project delivery.

Our scope included:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Builders Work
๐Ÿ‘‰ Above Ground Drainage
๐Ÿ‘‰ Rainwater Drainage Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ LTHW & CHW Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Domestic Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Ventilation & Air Conditioning
๐Ÿ‘‰ Small Power & Ancillaries
๐Ÿ‘‰ Lighting Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Fire Alarm & PA/VA Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Containment Services
๐Ÿ‘‰ Security & Access Control
๐Ÿ‘‰ Plant Spaces.

Projects like Infinity Labs demonstrate how specialist MEP BIM support can help overcome complex coordination challenges, reduce project risk and provide project teams with the confidence to deliver successfully.

Can you relate? ๐Ÿ˜‚

If youโ€™re a BIM coordinator, you probably can!

Thereโ€™s nothing quite like spotting a clash in the model before it becomes a problem on site.

A few minutes spent identifying and resolving issues during coordination can save hours (or even days) of rework, delays and unnecessary costs later in a project.

Thatโ€™s exactly why early clash detection is such an important part of effective BIM delivery.

P.S. If youโ€™d rather have someone else find the clashes before they become your problem, weโ€™re here to help: www.modelspaceltd.co.uk

Does BIM actually save money?

Itโ€™s Financial Awareness Day tomorrow, so we want to clear this up once and for all...

The simple answer is: Yes! โคต๏ธ

People assume that investing in BIM adds another cost to your project. But thatโ€™s not the case.

The real expense usually comes from poor coordination. When issues arenโ€™t identified until construction is underway, projects can quickly become more expensive through:

โœ”๏ธ Rework
โœ”๏ธ Material waste
โœ”๏ธ Additional labour
โœ”๏ธ Programme delays
โœ”๏ธ Design changes
โœ”๏ธ Site clashes.

By coordinating designs early, identifying clashes before they reach site and ensuring everyone is working from accurate, up-to-date information, BIM helps reduce avoidable costs throughout the project lifecycle.

In fact, studies have shown that projects using BIM experience significantly lower failure and rework costs than those that donโ€™t.

At Model Space, we provide specialist MEP BIM support that helps consultants and contractors strengthen coordination, reduce risk and deliver projects more efficiently.

Coordination Tip of the Week ๐Ÿšจ

Coordinate plant rooms before progressing detailed services.

Why? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Plant rooms are often the most congested and technically complex areas of a building, with multiple mechanical, electrical and public health services all competing for the same space.

If coordination isnโ€™t prioritised early, even a small issue can have a knock-on effect throughout the rest of the project, leading to costly redesigns, delays and unnecessary rework.

Taking the time to fully coordinate plant rooms before progressing the wider service layouts can help you:

โœ… Identify clashes early
โœ… Optimise equipment layouts and maintenance access
โœ… Reduce redesign later in the programme
โœ… Improve installation efficiency on site
โœ… Give the rest of the project a stronger foundation.

Getting these critical spaces right from the outset can save significant time, cost and frustration.

Which BIM task takes up the most time for your team? ๐Ÿ•’

BIM is rarely just one task...

Itโ€™s the modelling, coordination, clash detection, drawing production, meetings and revisions.

And despite all the various tasks associated with BIM, youโ€™re still somehow expected to keep projects moving on programme.

When internal teams are stretched, these tasks quickly become a bottleneck, putting pressure on delivery, increasing the risk of rework and leaving engineers with less time to focus on design.

So, we want to know which BIM task takes up the most time for your team?

Vote in our poll and let us know in the comments.

P.S. You donโ€™t need to overstretch your team and increase the risk of rework; at Model Space, we work as an extension of your team, providing specialist MEP BIM support whenever you need it.

Coordination Tip of the Week ๐Ÿšจ

Use your Common Data Environment (CDE) as the single source of truth.

It sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many coordination issues start because teams are working from different versions of the same information ๐Ÿคฆ

When project information is scattered across emails, local folders and multiple file-sharing platforms, it's easy for teams to:

โŒ Work from outdated models
โŒ Miss important updates
โŒ Approve the wrong revision
โŒ Duplicate work unnecessarily.

All of which leads to confusion, rework, delays and increased project risk.

A well-managed CDE helps prevent this by ensuring everyone is working from the same information, at the same time.

A CDE gives you:

โœ… Better version control
โœ… Clearer communication across teams
โœ… Improved traceability of project decisions
โœ… More efficient coordination reviews
โœ… Greater confidence in the information being used.

At Model Space, we use CDE platforms such as Dalux to support clearer communication, stronger coordination and more efficient project delivery.

Remember: Coordination becomes much easier when everyone is working from a single source of truth.
