Featured case studies

BIM Coordination in Practice

Three projects showing ISO 19650 task-team delivery, multidisciplinary coordination and fire protection engineering working together. All three are in Singapore.

Case Study 01 · Practical ISO 19650 task-team delivery

Parry Avenue Assisted Living (Perennial)

Assisted living · Singapore

Project context

Assisted living development in Singapore with two blocks (AL and NH), from basement to upper roof. Project information was managed to ISO 19650 with ACC as the CDE, and the Fire Protection package was produced by a subcontractor task team.

  • My role Fire Protection BIM Coordinator
  • Position Fire Protection task team (subcontractor scope)
  • Team Project FP BIM team: 3 people — 1 BIM Coordinator + 2 BIM Modellers
  • CDE ACC

Project evidence

  • 14 FP information containers assigned, planned and delivered within the task-team scope
  • 4 key RFIs closed: 3 coordination + 1 information
  • 2 wks L3 buffer added to the MIDP by the lead appointed party after escalation
  • 1 naming error caught before DRM sign-off
  • 3 FP BIM team members

My role and responsibilities

Fire Protection BIM Coordinator within the Fire Protection task-team scope: BEP naming validation, TIDP preparation, MIDP coordination and dependency tracking, multidisciplinary clash coordination in Navisworks, model QA/QC and controlled information exchange through the CDE. Submissions went to the lead appointed party for authorisation.

Information management

  • Reviewed the Detailed Responsibility Matrix (DRM) and verified all 14 FP containers
  • Prepared the FP TIDP with containers, dates and upstream dependencies (planned dates 21 Mar to 13 Jun 2025)
  • Validated container names against the BEP naming convention

CDE workflow and model QA/QC

  • WIP → Shared → Published → Archived in ACC, with S1 suitability applied at WIP → Shared
  • BEP model validation checklist completed before each Shared submission
  • Missing installation-status data on L2 sprinklers identified and corrected before resubmission
  • Submitted for lead appointed party authorisation; moved to Published only after appointing party acceptance

Multidisciplinary coordination

  • Federated model review and clash detection in Navisworks
  • L2 ceiling void: sprinkler, ACMV duct and cable tray clash rerouted within agreed mounting heights and service zones
  • Major clashes escalated as RFIs; replies checked before the Revit model was updated

Coordination impact: the third-storey (L3) dependency

  1. Risk L3 sprinkler routing depended on structural beam coordination and ceiling clearance, while one coordinator and two modellers were handling overlapping L3 to L5 submissions.
  2. Action Identified the dependency while preparing the TIDP, recorded it there and escalated it in writing to the lead appointed party before the MIDP was finalised.
  3. Result The lead appointed party incorporated a two-week sequencing buffer for L3 into the MIDP, aligning the structural and FP submission windows and reducing rework risk.

ISO 19650-2 activities by stage (clauses 5.3 to 5.7)
  1. Cl. 5.3 · Tender response

    Capability and capacity

    • Assessed task-team people, process and technology against the project information requirements (EIR / BEP)
    • Identified a WIP-to-Shared workflow skills gap; training arranged before the first submission
    • Confirmed my Fire Protection BIM Coordinator scope in writing with the lead appointed party
  2. Cl. 5.4 · Appointment

    Responsibility and planning

    • Reviewed the DRM; verified all 14 FP containers
    • Identified a naming error (“UR-ALL”) and escalated it for correction before DRM sign-off
    • Prepared the FP TIDP: containers, information requirements, dates and dependencies
  3. Cl. 5.5 · Mobilisation

    Test before production

    • Checked ACC WIP / Shared / Published / Archived areas and verified access permissions against the project CDE workflow
    • Validated container names against the BEP naming convention
    • Checked the ACC CDE workflow, validated container names against the BEP naming convention and ran a trial clash test before production
  4. Cl. 5.6 · Production and QA

    Check, then share

    • Completed the BEP model validation checklist before each Shared submission
    • Applied S1 (suitable for coordination) at WIP → Shared
    • Identified missing installation-status data on L2 sprinklers; corrected before resubmission
  5. Cl. 5.7 · Review and authorisation

    Coordinate, then submit

    • Classified clashes by severity; escalated major clashes as RFIs to other task teams / consultants
    • 4 key RFIs raised and closed before model update
    • Submitted for lead appointed party authorisation; moved to Published only after appointing party acceptance
RFI log and clash-to-RFI rule

Key RFIs: 3 coordination, 1 information, all closed

  • Sprinkler routing at beam zone Structural clearance conflict Coordination Closed
  • HVAC (ACMV) duct coordination at L2 Major MEP clash Coordination Closed
  • Ceiling void clearance Not enough coordination space Coordination Closed
  • Fire hydrant plinth size Missing dimensional information Information Closed

Worked example: fire hydrant plinth size (information RFI)

  1. RFI raised 30 Apr 2025
  2. Consultant reply: 1 × 1 m plinth 2 May 2025
  3. Reply checked, Revit model updated
  4. QA checklist passed, resubmitted to Shared (S1)

When does a clash become an RFI?

  • Major: time or cost impact, or it affects structure, authority approval, safety / code compliance or façade. Raised as an RFI to the responsible designer or consultant.
  • Minor: within agreed design responsibility and coordination rules, so no external design decision is required. Resolved within the model.

Records kept in the CDE: completed QA checklists, clash viewpoints, the RFI log with consultant replies, and the container status history.

Engineering-informed BIM

Engineering-Informed BIM: Hydraulic Coordination Evidence

BIM coordination decisions are informed by Fire Protection engineering, hydraulic requirements, installation constraints, and access and maintainability. When a clash forces a reroute, pipe sizes, flow and pressure are re-checked in FHC so that the coordinated model still works. A worked example from an FHC hydraulic calculation report:

Calculated hydraulic demand

7,299.7 L/min

@ 7.429 bar

Source duty from the FHC output. Check: 12 operating sprinklers at approximately 603.0 to 614.5 L/min each sum to about 7,300 L/min, matching the source duty.

All values are taken from the FHC report output.

  • Design standard NFPA 13:2016
  • Hazard class High Hazard Category 1
  • Sprinkler type ESFR K25.2 (K = 360 L/min/bar½)
  • Operating sprinklers 12, at 9.0 m² per head
  • Design area 108 m²
  • Sprinkler pressure Minimum 2.80 bar; actual 2.81 to 2.91 bar
  • Sprinkler flows Approximately 603.0 to 614.5 L/min
Extract of the FHC hydraulic calculation report with operating sprinkler table, design criteria and pipe network isometric
FHC hydraulic calculation report (extract) and isometric

  • Before geometry is changed Coverage, spacing and obstruction are checked against the fire protection design intent and code rules.
  • When routes or pipe sizes change Hydraulic checks are re-run in FHC.
  • Before the model is shared Installation clearance and access, and fixture mounting heights, are checked as part of coordination QA.

Coordination approach

BIM Coordination Workflow

A workflow that connects design requirements, multidisciplinary model federation, clash resolution, RFIs, QA and controlled information exchange. Clash detection is one step, not the whole process.

  1. Review

    Requirements, BEP, models and design intent.

  2. Federate

    Revit / Navisworks multidisciplinary models.

  3. Identify

    Clashes, interfaces and information issues.

  4. Resolve / RFI

    Coordinate issues, or raise an RFI where design-team input is required.

  5. QA / Deliver

    Model QA/QC and controlled information exchange.

  • Clashes are classified Assessed for time / cost, structural, authority, safety / code and design-responsibility impact. Task-team issues are resolved within the model.
  • Design intent comes first Fire protection design intent and code rules are checked before geometry is changed.
  • Evidence is kept in the CDE QA checklists, clash viewpoints, the RFI log and the status history.
