BIM Coordination

BIM coordination

A BIM coordinator ensures the quality, accuracy, and seamless integration of data models and documentation in all stages of a project. A BIM coordinator also supports coordination between disciplines, the visualization of the proposed designs, as well as digital twin creation, and the development of reliable as-built models.

BIM coordination safeguards the information management and interaction between different disciplines of a construction project using various BIM methodologies. These methodologies are curated so that data models of different design disciplines are implemented using the methods, software, and client’s content requirements. The BIM coordinator acts with the client’s best interest in mind, guiding project stakeholders through the BIM process, ensuring smooth coordination of diverse models..

Regulations of BIM

The role of BIM coordination is becoming increasingly significant as regulations evolve. In Finland, the new Building Act introduces stricter BIM requirements, mandating that larger projects submit a BIM model during the building permit phase. In Sweden we also continuously monitor and adhere to national guidelines and information modelling standards.

While BIM regulations differ between Finland and Sweden, both countries are moving toward greater digitalization and standardization in construction. We ensure compliance with national guidelines in each market, proactively adapting our services to align with emerging requirements and industry best practices.

Granlund’s BIM coordination services

Our BIM coordinators always have the best interests of the client and the overall project in mind. We also consider the customer’s broader digital construction goals, in both individual properties as well as wider property portfolios. BIM implementation increases the quality and productivity of the entire construction process and improves the time and cost efficiency of projects.

Every construction project is unique, and the quality and accuracy requirements for BIM modelling vary. Therefore, our BIM coordination services are flexible according to the client’s and the project’s overall goals, and we tailor the content of our services accordingly.

We work with a wide range of projects, from office buildings to residential developments, and hospitals to data centers.

Key benefits of Granlund’s BIM coordination

  • Ensures information models align with client objectives
  • Proactively resolves conflicts between design disciplines
  • Guarantees reliable, high-quality BIMdata
  • Supports preparation of technical and commercial documents
  • Facilitates contract tendering with accurate plans
  • Reduces costly modifications and delays on-site
  • Provides clear project visualization for all stakeholders
  • Offers training and guidance for project partners
  • Delivers accurate as-built model for future use
  • Enhances efficiency in building maintenance and operations

Benefits of BIM coordination

The benefits of BIM coordination are visible throughout the construction process, starting with quantity and cost estimation. The goal of BIM can be to visualize the construction in 4D or create a complete digital twin of the building. In addition to the coordination of plans, BIM modelling often supports energy and carbon footprint calculation, demolition planning and the circular economy.

Our BIM coordinators ensure that information models can be used as a tool during the procurement and construction phases. When the information models of designers are implemented with the right level of accuracy, tendering becomes more efficient, and contractors can rely on the documentation provided for improved accuracy on site. Furthermore, a correctly implemented as-built model  enhances future maintenance and facility management.

BIM consulting – supporting clients from the start

Our experienced BIM coordinators have a comprehensive understanding of the entire construction process, beyond just structural and MEP design, contracting or construction management. In addition to coordinating models, we also oversee the technical and commercial aspects of contracts.

We assist clients in defining their goals even before BIM modelling begins. Our BIM consulting services ensure that projects fully leverage BIM capabilities, leading to cost savings, streamlined workflows, and enhanced sustainability.
