Institutional Preconstruction Workflow

A Structured Workflow for Institutional BIM & Preconstruction

Institutional projects can involve multiple disciplines, building areas and revision stages. Our workflow keeps the assigned educational project package connected to the current information from initial review through final delivery.

01

Review Inputs

Review current drawings, models, specifications and project requirements.

02

Define the Scope

Confirm the building, area, disciplines and required outputs.

03

Develop the Package

Produce the assigned BIM, CAD or documentation package.

04

Coordinate

Review architectural, structural and MEP interfaces together.

05

Review & Deliver

Check revisions, coordination status and final outputs.

Institutional educational BIM workflow and project coordination review
A structured BIM workflow helps institutional project teams review multidisciplinary information before the assigned package moves forward.
Project Review

Keep Each Educational Package Aligned With Current Project Information

Schools, universities and campus projects can move through several design and coordination revisions. Production remains connected to the current package issued for the assigned scope.

  • Current drawings
  • Current BIM models
  • Applicable specifications
  • Latest revisions
  • Defined project area
  • Required deliverables
Multidisciplinary Coordination

Common Coordination Checks in Institutional Projects

Bringing architectural, structural and MEP information together helps project teams review physical interfaces across educational spaces.
