BIM outsourcing services
Build coordinated models that support better project decisions.
ModelMason provides BIM outsourcing for model development, MEPF coordination, clash detection, issue tracking, and drawing support for general and specialty contractors.
Selected experience
BIM coordination ownership for a 416-unit apartment development.
ModelMason managed the composite model and weekly coordination process for a general contractor delivering a large multifamily project with two levels of post-tensioned concrete podium slabs and wood-frame residential construction above.
The coordination challenge
Bring independently developed trade models into one accountable process.
The Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection subcontractors each provided their own models. Those systems also needed to be checked against the structural model, including the post-tensioned podium construction.
What ModelMason owned
- Combined and maintained the composite coordination model
- Ran clash detection across structural and MEPFP systems
- Prepared clash reports and a weekly issue log
- Led weekly BIM coordination meetings
- Assigned action items to each responsible subcontractor
- Tracked model updates and open issues through the coordination cycle
The result
One coordination owner, with substantially less day-to-day oversight required from the GC team.
The general contractor retained visibility into project status and major decisions while ModelMason managed the composite model, coordination meetings, reporting, assignments, and follow-through. Issues remained visible and subcontractors received clear responsibility for required updates before installation.
