Project Snapshot
Project type: Commercial development
Location: Australia
Client type: Developer / Builder
Project phase: Design + Tender
BIM services: Multidisciplinary coordination, BIM documentation, tender-stage BIM support
Disciplines: Architecture, Structure, MEPF
Software: Revit, Navisworks, ACC
The Challenge
- The project was being prepared under compressed tender timelines, leaving limited opportunity for late coordination.
- The client required greater pricing certainty and reduced risk of tender clarifications.
- Incomplete coordination at tender stage posed a risk of downstream variations and scope gaps.
- BIM needed to support both design clarity and commercial decision-making.
Our BIM Approach
- We developed a tender-ready federated BIM model to LOD 300, suitable for pricing and scope definition.
- A project-specific BIM Execution Plan was established to align modelling outputs with tender objectives.
- QA/QC checkpoints were introduced to ensure model reliability and consistency across disciplines.
- Weekly coordination and clash review cycles focused on areas with high commercial and constructability risk.
- Coordinated shop fit sections and key views were produced to support tender review and evaluation.
Results & Impact
- Reduced number of tender clarifications and post-tender queries.
- Improved confidence in quantities, interfaces, and scope definition.
- Clearer alignment between design intent and tender pricing.
- Smoother transition from tender into subsequent delivery phases.
Value Delivered
- Provided scalable BIM support tailored specifically for tender certainty.
- Helped the client reduce commercial and coordination risk at procurement stage.
- Enabled better-informed bidding and decision-making.
- Demonstrated strong capability in delivering BIM for procurement and pre-construction assurance.
