WHAT WE PROVIDE

What we provide

Solvix International provides BIM modelling and coordination support for projects that need clearer interdisciplinary visibility, stronger design communication, and more structured issue resolution. We help clients, consultants, contractors, and project teams use model-based workflows to improve coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP information, reduce avoidable clashes, and create better-quality deliverables for design development, procurement, construction, and record purposes.

White architectural massing model

Support BIM-based coordination across architectural, structural, MEP, and specialist interfaces.

Improve model quality, issue visibility, and decision-making through organised review workflows.

Provide outputs that are useful for designers, project managers, site teams, commercial stakeholders, and technical reviewers.

SERVICE SCOPE

What this service covers

Discipline model development

Model production or model refinement for agreed disciplines, design stages, and information requirements.

Federated model review

Combine models into a coordinated environment for cross-discipline visibility and review.

Clash detection and interface review

Identify geometric conflicts, access issues, system overlaps, and coordination gaps.

Issue tracking and closure support

Create issue logs, assign ownership, monitor responses, and track closure progress.

COORDINATION OBJECTIVES

What well-run BIM coordination should achieve

BIM coordination support can be provided during design development, before tender, before construction, or alongside site works where model-based coordination is still active.

Resolved interfaces

Conflicts between disciplines are identified and closed before they reach site.

fail

Reliable models

Models follow agreed naming, positioning, and information requirements so they can be federated and reviewed.

Clear ownership

Each issue has a responsible party, a target date, and a recorded closure status.

Common matters we support

Coordination problems that are not resolved in the model usually appear later as RFIs, rework, and delay. We focus the coordination effort on the interfaces that carry the most risk. Issues are prioritised by their effect on design progress, procurement, and installation, so that the most significant conflicts are resolved first.

Design-stage coordination:

Federated review and clash detection during design development.

Pre-construction coordination:

Coordination of trade models before installation starts.

Model audits:

Review of model quality, structure, and compliance with information requirements.

Issue backlog review:

Prioritisation and tracking of an accumulated list of open coordination issues.

Coordination meeting support:

Preparation of model views and issue summaries for coordination meetings.

Management reporting:

Concise reporting of coordination status for project managers and clients.

DISCIPLINE COORDINATION

Typical BIM coordination interfaces

The exact scope depends on project complexity, delivery stage, and employer or contractor requirements. In most cases, BIM coordination focuses on the interfaces that create downstream design, construction, procurement, or access problems when not resolved early.

Architectural-to-structural coordination, including penetrations, support zones, slab openings, and envelope interfaces.

Architectural-to-MEP coordination, including ceiling space, risers, service routes, plant rooms, maintenance access, and finish interfaces.

Structural-to-MEP coordination, including beam conflicts, sleeve or opening needs, support clearances, and service corridors.

Specialist trade interfaces such as façade, vertical transportation, fire protection, equipment, fit-out, and external works where relevant.

Key Coordination Metrics

Measures commonly used to report coordination status and track issue closure

Clashes by discipline

Number of clashes between each pair of disciplines.

Clashes by severity

Split between critical, major, and minor conflicts.

Open issues

Unresolved coordination issues at the report date.

Issue ageing

Time each open issue has remained unresolved.

Closure rate

Issues closed per review cycle.

Model status

Revision and completeness of each discipline model.

ASSESSMENT APPROACH

How Solvix delivers BIM modelling and coordination support

Our approach is structured to make model-based coordination useful rather than purely technical. That means defining the coordination objective, establishing review rules, focusing on interfaces that matter, tracking issues clearly, and issuing outputs that support actual project decisions. Depending on the brief, we can work as a coordination support consultant, technical review resource, or part of a wider delivery team.

1. Brief and information requirement review:

confirm the stage, priority disciplines, model purpose, naming rules, exchange expectations, and delivery constraints.

2. Model setup and federation planning:

agree coordination structure, shared positioning, review zones, and responsibility boundaries.

3. Interdisciplinary review and clash analysis:

examine conflicts, spatial congestion, missing information, and unresolved interfaces.

4. Issue logging and action tracking:

categorise issues, assign responsibilities, record responses, and monitor open versus closed items.

5. Coordination meetings and technical support:

help teams review key problems using model views, extracts, screenshots, and status summaries.

6. Deliverable preparation and reporting:

issue clash reports, issue registers, meeting notes, model-status commentary, and coordination packs aligned with the brief.

RECORDS AND OUTPUTS

Typical deliverables and working environments

BIM coordination value comes not only from the model itself but from how the coordination effort is communicated, prioritised, and managed. We therefore focus on outputs that can be understood and actioned by the relevant project stakeholders.

Typical deliverables

  • Federated model review packs or discipline coordination views
  • Clash summaries and prioritised issue registers
  • Issue screenshots, viewpoint references, and action trackers
  • Coordination meeting notes and progress summaries
  • Model-quality comments and delivery-readiness observations
  • Client-facing or management-level coordination summaries

Common workflow elements

  • Authoring and review environments agreed with the client team
  • Discipline model federation and shared coordinate management
  • Model naming conventions, revision control, and exchange protocols
  • Issue classification by severity, discipline, location, or package
  • Review cycles linked to design submissions or construction milestones
  • OpenBIM or platform-specific coordination processes as required
FAQS

Frequently asked questions

BIM modelling focuses on creating or developing model content, while BIM coordination focuses on reviewing how multiple discipline models work together and resolving conflicts, interfaces, and information gaps.

No. The level of BIM coordination can scale to suit project complexity, stakeholder expectations, and available model information.

Yes. We can prepare detailed technical outputs for design teams as well as concise issue summaries for project leadership and client representatives.

WHY SOLVIX

Why clients use Solvix for BIM coordination support

We combine technical coordination awareness with practical project-delivery thinking so outputs remain useful beyond the model environment.

Our reviews are structured around visibility, prioritisation, and actionability, not simply generating long lists of clashes without context.

We can align BIM coordination work with technical audits, design verification, feasibility inputs, project-controls reporting, and broader consultancy support where needed.
