For Architectural and Engineering Firms Losing Tenders, Catching Clashes on Site, or Stuck on ISO 19650

Bring your practice into the digital age.

We author the BEP that wins the tender, catch clashes before they reach site, and get your practice compliant with ISO 19650, coordination handled remotely so nothing falls through the cracks.

Scope, deliverables and fee structure confirmed in writing before any engagement starts, no ambiguity about what's covered.

Three moments firms usually call us

You probably don't need a lecture on digital transformation. You need one of these three things fixed.

"We lost a tender, no BEP."
Fast BEP authoring, or a standing process so it never happens again.
"A clash reached site."
Caught on screen, weeks before it becomes a site cost.
"Client asked about ISO 19650."
An audit shows exactly what to fix, before you're asked again.

Outcomes, from firms who've been where you are

Average 40% fewer clashes reaching site across active coordination retainers, tracked from first model federation to issue-for-construction.

"Our BIM Coordinator retainer caught 14 clashes across MEP and structural before issue-for-construction on a hospital extension — every one of them would've been a site instruction otherwise. Three months in, our contractor stopped asking us for clash reports because they'd stopped finding anything."

Principal Multi-discipline practice, 35 staff · KwaZulu-Natal

"We went from 'we'll sort the BEP once we've won the job' to having one ready inside four working days for a hospital tender we were not confident about. We won that tender, and the BEP they wrote is now the one every PM on our side actually opens instead of ignoring."

Managing Director Civil engineering consultancy, 28 staff · Western Cape
ARC STR HVAC ELEC PIPE 3 CLASHES · ARC · STR · HVAC · ELEC · PIPE 0 CLASHES · ALL DISCIPLINES CLEAR MULTI-DISCIPLINE CLASH DETECTION

Every model is checked discipline by discipline before it's issued.

A model that looks coordinated in isolation isn't the same as one that's actually clash-free once every discipline is federated together. Before anything is issued we check it zone by zone: architectural against structural, structural against MEP, MEP against civil, a dimension chain and clearance set a contractor can build to without guessing, and a clash log that's actually tracked to resolution, not just run once and filed.

Information that flows, inside your firm and between firms

Most delays don't come from bad design, they come from information stuck in someone's inbox or a version nobody trusts. We fix how information moves inside your practice, and how smoothly it passes between your firm and every consultant, contractor and client on the project, no matter how many are involved:

BIM Execution Plan authored and kept current through each stage
CDE set up and administered: review flow, issue tracking, revisions
Multi-discipline model coordination and clash detection, tracked to resolution
Bonus: a Dynamo or pyRevit automation script for one repetitive task, included with any retainer

Engagements are limited to a small number of firms at a time, so coordination quality doesn't slip as workload grows.

Common Questions

Software isn't process. Most firms have Revit but nobody dedicated to coordination or clash resolution. We're that missing function.

Depends which engagement level fits. Use the calculator above for an estimate, exact fee confirmed in writing after a free call.

Yes, a Certified ISO 19650 Practice, applied daily on live international projects.

For most small and mid-size firms, yes, without the full-time cost. For larger firms, we work alongside your existing manager instead.

A junior can model. Coordination and clash resolution are a different skill, and most firms don't have enough work to justify a full-time senior hire.

No, it's a starting estimate. Exact fee confirmed in writing after a discovery call, you approve it before anything starts.

We flag it before going over, not after. Extra hours billed at an agreed rate you've approved in advance.

Yes, month to month. Adjust the level up or down, or end with 30 days' written notice.

Tell us about your project or firm

Share a bit about your project load and where coordination is falling short, and we'll come back with next steps. Once we've had a discovery call, you'll have a proper written proposal within 3 business days.
