BIM Coordination & Digital Delivery

AI + Architecture & Construction Technology →

Building Information Modeling as a coordination and operations tool — not a design tool. Covers Revit navigation and model review for non-architects, Navisworks clash detection and coordination workflows, BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud administration, model coordination across disciplines (architecture, structure, MEP), digital handover processes, as-built model management, and COBie data extraction. Students learn to be the person who keeps the digital thread intact from design through facilities management.

Learning Objectives

Objectives

Depth
  • Navigate Revit models to review architectural, structural, and MEP elements — interpreting views, sheets, schedules, and object properties without needing to create content Apply
  • Run clash detection in Navisworks, categorize clash types (hard, soft, clearance), and produce actionable clash reports with resolution assignments Apply
  • Administer BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud projects — folder structures, permission sets, model publishing, and issue tracking workflows Apply
  • Coordinate multi-discipline models by establishing shared coordinates, managing federated models, and running interference checks across architectural, structural, and MEP files Apply
  • Prepare and facilitate BIM coordination meetings using clash reports, markups, and model views to drive resolution decisions Apply
  • Explain BIM execution plans (BEPs) — LOD requirements, model element authoring responsibilities, file naming conventions, and deliverable milestones Understand
  • Extract and validate COBie data from models for digital handover, ensuring asset information meets owner requirements for facilities management Apply
  • Use AI tools to automate clash categorization, generate coordination reports, and identify patterns in recurring model issues Apply

What You'll Master

Revit Model Navigation

Reviewing and interpreting BIM models across disciplines without being a content creator — reading views, schedules, properties, and design intent.

Clash Detection & Resolution

Running Navisworks interference checks, categorizing clash types, producing reports, and driving resolution through coordination workflows.

BIM Platform Administration

Setting up and managing BIM 360 / ACC projects — permissions, folder structures, model publishing, and issue management.

Multi-Discipline Coordination

Federating models from architecture, structure, and MEP teams; managing shared coordinates and running cross-discipline interference checks.

Digital Handover & COBie

Extracting structured asset data from models for facilities management, validating COBie deliverables, and managing the as-built documentation process.

What You'll Build

BIM Coordination Package with Clash Resolution — A complete coordination workflow on a provided multi-discipline model set. Includes a federated model with shared coordinates, a Navisworks clash detection report categorized by type and trade, a coordination meeting agenda with marked-up model views, resolution assignments with status tracking, and a COBie data extract validating digital handover readiness. Demonstrates the ability to be the coordination hub between design and construction teams.

Industry Tools, Not Toy Projects
