BIM and digital delivery
Revit modelling, clash detection and information management to BS EN ISO 19650 for MEP design and coordination.
- Discipline
- Digital and BIM
WHAT IT IS
Digital delivery covers the modelling and information management side of MEP design: producing a coordinated Revit model, running clash detection against the other disciplines, and delivering information in the structure and at the level of detail the appointment requires.
BS EN ISO 19650 is an information management standard rather than a modelling standard. What it actually asks for is that the information requirements are stated, that responsibility for producing each piece of information is assigned, and that what gets delivered matches what was asked for.
SERVICES
Services in this discipline
BIM modelling at every level of detail
MEP models produced at the level of information need the stage requires, from LOD 100 massing to LOD 500 as-installed record.
COBie data delivery
COBie deliverables to BS 1192-4, with asset data structured, populated and validated against the employer information requirements.
Full BIM services and information management
The BS EN ISO 19650 information management role: BIM Execution Plan, information requirements, common data environment, federation and delivery reporting.
MEP coordination workshops
Chaired workshops that resolve MEP clashes against the architectural and structural models, with every decision recorded, assigned and closed out.
Revit MEP modelling, RIBA Stages 0 to 7
Revit MEP modelling through every RIBA stage — concept space reservation, spatial coordination, technical design and record model.
Stage 5 contractor design
MEP design for contractors and design-and-build appointments: Stage 4 taken to installation information, or the contractor design portion produced outright.
WHEN YOU NEED IT
Where BIM delivery is a requirement of the appointment, where the project is complex enough that spatial coordination cannot be resolved reliably in two dimensions, or where the client intends to use the model for asset management after handover.
DELIVERABLES
What you receive
- Federated MEP Revit model
- Clash detection reports and resolution tracking
- Model coordinated to the agreed level of information need
- COBie data where required
- BIM Execution Plan input

QUESTIONS
Common questions
What is BS EN ISO 19650?
BS EN ISO 19650 is the international standard for managing information across the lifecycle of a built asset using building information modelling. It defines how information requirements are set, how responsibility for producing information is assigned, and how information is exchanged and approved through the delivery phase.
Do you provide MEP models in Revit?
Yes. MEP services are modelled in Revit and coordinated against the architectural and structural models, with clash detection run and resolved through the design stages rather than reported at the end.
