Our Comprehensive BIM Coordination Package Includes:
The Approach:
Whether it’s a major system overlap or a minor modeling friction, a "clash" is never a roadblock — it’s an opportunity for a better solution.

At All City Sketchers, we treat every conflict, big or small, with the same level of surgical precision. We don’t just flag issues and pass them back; we engineer the resolutions. We clear the path so your field team can build with total confidence.




Why BIM? The Bottom Line.
Coordination isn't just about software; it's about project survival. Integrating BIM into your workflow is necessary because it:
  • Reduces Errors: Fix it in the model for pennies; fixing it on-site costs thousands.
  • Saves Money: Drastically cut down on Change Orders and RFI delays.
  • Improves Coordination: Get every trade — mechanical, electrical, plumbing — on the exact same page.
  • Speeds Up Construction: Pre-resolved systems mean faster installation and zero "wait-and-see" moments.
  • Adds Long-Term Value: A clean BIM model is a roadmap for the entire lifecycle of the building.

CLASHES HAPPEN.
RESOLUTION IS WHAT MATTERS.

BIM modeling in construction is a primary tool for many industry participants, including general contractors, subcontractors, engineers, architects, builders and others. This technology is used to create digital three-dimensional models of buildings and spaces that combine information about the object's geometry, properties, and characteristics.

BIM Modeling IN CONSTRUCTION

BIM modeling services portfolio
One of the main problems addressed by BIM modeling is reducing errors and lowering the cost of design and construction. With the ability to visualize the object in three dimensions, project participants can detect possible collisions and conflicts in advance, which help to reduce costs and delays.

It also allows for a more accurate determination of construction costs, facilitating financial planning and budget management. Overall, BIM modeling is an essential tool for enhancing process efficiency in construction.

By leveraging this technology, project participants can reduce time and costs, improve construction quality, and enhance client satisfaction.

However, the successful implementation of BIM modeling requires the presence of qualified specialists and the establishment of effective interaction processes among all project participants.

LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTIONS

In BIM different levels of development (LOD) are used to represent the degree of development and accuracy of information in a model. These LODs, such as LOD 100, LOD 300, and LOD 500, help to manage and communicate the level of information available for various purposes throughout the project lifecycle.
Standard Level of Detail
Medium Level of Detail
Very high Level of Detail

Standard Level of Development
LOD 100, Conceptual

Medium Level of Development
LOD 300, Developed

Very high Level of Development
LOD 500, As-built

represents a basic level of detail where elements are represented by generic shapes or symbols. This level is typically used during the early conceptual design phase when the focus is on overall form and space requirements.
represents a medium level of detail, where elements are represented by specific shapes and approximate dimensions. This level is often used during the detailed design phase when more specific information is required to develop construction documents and make informed decisions.
represents a high level of detail, where elements are represented with precise geometries, dimensions, and data. This level is typically used during the construction phase, enabling virtual construction and accurate quantity take-offs.
