How does BIM coordination actually work?
BIM coordination is the process of bringing different discipline models together, checking whether they work together, identifying conflicts, and helping the project team resolve them before construction problems occur.
For example, an architectural model may show a ceiling, a structural model may contain a beam, and an MEP model may contain a duct. If these elements occupy the same space, the issue needs to be identified and coordinated.
That is why BIM coordination is more than knowing Revit.
A BIM Coordinator needs to understand:
• How models from different disciplines connect
• How to federate and review models
• How to identify and report clashes
• How to communicate issues clearly
• How to track and support resolution
The important career lesson is simple: software knowledge helps you create and review models, but coordination requires workflow understanding, communication and problem-solving.
