BIM is about comunication 

Here are some common types of BIM (Building Information Modeling) model checks: 1. *Geometry Checks*: Verify that the model's geometry is accurate and complete, including checks for: - Missing or duplicate elements - Incorrect shapes or sizes - Interference or clashes between elements 2. *Data Quality Checks*: Ensure that the model's data is accurate and consistent, including checks for: - Missing or incorrect attribute data - Inconsistent formatting or naming conventions - Data inconsistencies between elements 3. *Model Validation Checks*: Verify that the model meets project requirements and standards, including checks for: - Compliance with building codes and regulations - Adherence to project-specific standards and guidelines - Consistency with design intent and specifications 4. *Interoperability Checks*: Ensure that the model can be shared and collaborated on across different software platforms and formats, including checks for: - Data exchange formats (e.g., IFC, Revit, AutoCAD) - Model compatibility with different software versions 5. *Clash Detection Checks*: Identify potential conflicts between elements, including checks for: - Hard clashes (physical intersections) - Soft clashes (clearance or proximity issues) 6. *Constructability Checks*: Verify that the model is constructible and meets site requirements, including checks for: - Buildability and fabricability - Site logistics and accessibility 7. *Energy Efficiency Checks*: Analyze the model's energy performance, including checks for: - Energy consumption and efficiency - Building envelope and system performance 8. *Accessibility Checks*: Verify that the model meets accessibility standards, including checks for: - ADA compliance - Clearances and circulation paths 9. *Sustainability Checks*: Evaluate the model's sustainability performance, including checks for: - Material selection and usage - Water efficiency and conservation 10. *Code Compliance Checks*: Verify that the model meets relevant building codes and regulations, including checks for: - Fire safety and egress - Structural integrity and loading These checks help ensure that BIM models are accurate, complete, and meet project requirements, reducing errors and improving overall project quality.

BIM Coordinators job is NOT only tools, processes, and checking. It's constant communication with the design team: • Understanding bottlenecks, • Knowing who are decision-makers, • Finding out what can be improved through trial and error process 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. And communication often starts during the meetings. So today I would like to recall one super important aspect of our work - Running coordination meetings. Good Coordination Session vs. Bad One. There is a very thin line between both. Avoid these 5 mistakes, and most likely, your next meeting won't be a disaster. 💥 😉 Next Tuesday, I 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗮 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, sharing my insights about the process of becoming a BIM Coordinator.

A Day in the Life of a BIM Coordinator: Behind the Scenes of Digital Construction 🔎 Ever wondered what it takes to manage and coordinate complex construction projects in the digital age? Let’s walk through a typical day in the life of a BIM Coordinator. 🏗️💻 🗨️ What makes this role exciting? Being at the center of digital construction means no two days are the same. A BIM Coordinator balances technical expertise, problem-solving, and collaboration to drive project success. 👉 What’s one aspect of a BIM Coordinator’s role that fascinates you? Let us know in the comments!

There are 5 common mistakes fresh BIM Coordinators make in their job 👇 Ignacy Lozinski  from our team gathered them in 1 condense article. Here is a sneak peek. #1 Most frequent frustration for new BIM Coordinators is dealing with 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 due to poorly understood coordinate systems. #2 - Diving into 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Often fresh BIM Coordinators run a general clash detection tests without focusing on the areas that matter most. #3 Lack of prioritization of coordination issues. Remember that  - 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, #4 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀, such as PDFs or Excel spreadsheets, to communicate issues with the rest of the team. #5 Meetings are a vital part of BIM Coordination, but 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 can waste time and leave teams feeling more confused than before. In the article you will find advice how to avoid these mistakes and make your BIM Coordinators life easier. Have a read👇: https://lnkd.in/dk3v8vse

BIM Coordination is the second most commonly used aspect of BIM.  Most of the "BIM" projects either implement it or attempt to. But many still struggle to do it RIGHT. Why? The list is long. Here are the TOP 3 that come to my mind now. 👇 1. Lack of understanding about BIM Coordination 2. Uncertainty on how to plan coordination activities 3. Excessive time spent on coordinating immature BIM models Let's solve the first problem from the list today. Here is a simple visual that might help you out 👇 If you struggle with  BIM Coordination, then DM me writing: BIM Coordinator -> Let's find out if I might help.
