Reduce rework, improve coordination, and deliver reliable building information

Construction projects depend on coordinated models, reliable building information, and clear collaboration between project stakeholders. Improving model quality and coordination workflows helps reduce construction risk and supports reliable digital handover across the building lifecycle.

Why construction projects still experience rework

Construction projects have become more complex, involving multiple disciplines, contractors, subcontractors, and stakeholders working simultaneously on coordinated building information models. Despite the use of BIM, many construction issues still originate from coordination conflicts, missing information, inconsistent model data, or unclear requirements discovered too late in the project.

These issues often lead to:

  • Coordination conflicts discovered during construction
  • Missing or inconsistent building information
  • Delays caused by unclear design intent
  • Rework that increases project cost and reduces margin
  • Poor handover information affecting building operation

Improving model coordination, validating building information, and ensuring reliable models before construction begins helps reduce construction risk and improve project delivery.

Reduce rework and construction risk

Rework during construction is one of the largest sources of cost overruns and project delays. Many rework issues originate from coordination conflicts, missing information, or incorrect building information discovered during construction instead of earlier in the project lifecycle.

Model-based coordination, clash detection, and information validation help identify issues earlier in the project lifecycle. Identifying issues earlier reduces costly changes during construction and improves project predictability.

Solibri supports construction workflows by enabling coordination review, clash detection, and construction information validation workflows that help organizations reduce construction rework, reduce project risk, and improve construction quality.

Collaboration across construction projects

Construction projects require collaboration between design teams, contractors, subcontractors, and building owners. Reliable building information models improve communication, coordination, and project transparency across construction projects.

When project teams work from coordinated and validated models, communication improves, coordination becomes more predictable, and construction workflows become more efficient. Reliable models help teams collaborate across disciplines and organizations and reduce misunderstandings that lead to delays and rework.

Solibri supports collaboration workflows through model review, issue management, and coordination workflows that help project teams collaborate using reliable building information models.

From coordination to construction and digital handover

Construction does not end when the building is completed. At project completion, building information models and documentation are handed over to owners and facility management teams. The quality of digital handover information directly influences building operation, maintenance, renovation projects, and long-term building lifecycle management.

Delivering structured and validated building information at handover supports building operation and lifecycle building information management. Reliable digital handover information reduces operational issues and supports future renovation and building lifecycle projects.

Solibri supports construction and handover workflows by enabling construction information validation, as-built model review, and asset information handover workflows.

Construction across the building lifecycle

Construction is one phase in the building lifecycle that connects design, coordination, building operation, and future renovation projects. Reliable building information created during construction and handover influences building operation, maintenance planning, renovation projects, and long-term building lifecycle decisions.

Buildings are no longer delivered as single projects but managed as long-term assets that evolve over time. Reliable building information across the building lifecycle supports construction, operation, renovation, and future building development.

Solibri supports building lifecycle workflows by helping organizations maintain reliable building information across design, coordination, construction, handover, operation, and renovation projects.

Construction industry segments

Construction projects differ by building type, project complexity, regulatory requirements, coordination complexity, and lifecycle information requirements. While the core principles of coordination, validation, and digital handover remain the same, each construction segment has specific workflows and information requirements.

Solibri supports construction workflows across a wide range of construction sectors, from infrastructure and industrial projects to commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and residential developments.

Data Centers & Warehouses

Data centers, logistics warehouses, and industrial facilities are often fast-track projects with high coordination complexity and strict information requirements. Model coordination, clash detection, and structured information validation help reduce construction risk and support reliable digital handover for facility operation.

Commercial Buildings

Commercial construction projects involve multiple stakeholders, complex building systems, and long building lifecycles. Reliable coordination, model validation, and structured handover information support construction delivery and long-term building operation.

Prefabrication

Prefabrication and modular construction rely on highly accurate models and validated building information. Errors discovered during manufacturing or installation can cause significant delays and cost increases, making model validation and coordination critical before production begins.

Manufacturing & Energy Facilities

Industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and energy infrastructure projects often include complex mechanical systems, strict compliance requirements, and long asset lifecycles. Validated building information and structured coordination workflows support construction delivery and long-term asset management.

Airports

Airport projects involve complex coordination between architecture, structure, mechanical systems, infrastructure, and security systems. Model coordination and information validation help manage complexity and support long-term building lifecycle management.

Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare projects include strict regulatory requirements, complex mechanical systems, and long building lifecycles. Reliable building information and coordinated models are essential for construction delivery, facility management, and future renovation projects.

Stadiums & Large Venues

Large venues and stadiums involve complex geometry, structural coordination, and tight construction schedules. Model coordination and validation help reduce construction risk and improve project delivery.

Real Estate & Residential

Residential and real estate developments often involve multiple buildings, repeated building types, and long-term asset management. Reliable building information and digital handover support property management, renovation, and lifecycle building management.
