Coordination

Importance of Coordination

Successful (BIM) coordination requires careful planning

and clear understanding of different construction or

design processes

What you can achieve through early identification of

design and construction issues:

Reduction in time and resources

Prevent abortive work

Reduce additional unpredicted costs

Faster on-site construction
