Clash-Free Virtual Models for Seamless Field Execution
Field conflicts between structural steel, HVAC ductwork, electrical conduits, and plumbing runs are major drivers of unexpected change orders, project delays, and budget overruns. When trades work in isolation, design oversights aren’t discovered until crews are on-site where fixes cost significantly more time and money.
Modulus Consulting provides specialized bim coordination services for general contractors, MEP trade contractors, architects, and building owners. Based in San Francisco, our team resolves spatial conflicts in the virtual environment long before construction begins on the job site.
Whether you need full-service coordination management, multi-trade clash detection services, or dedicated MEP modeling support, we ensure your building systems fit together smoothly.
We offer a comprehensive range of coordination capabilities, including:
- Comprehensive bim clash detection and multi-trade spatial audits
- Specialized mep bim coordination modelling services for complex trades
- VDC meeting leadership and active trade contractor clash resolution
- Coordinated shop drawing generation, sleeve plans, and spool layouts
- Dedicated revit bim coordination services using Navisworks and ACC
- Constructability reviews for seismic bracing and maintenance clearance
- Practical construction coordination support for fast-track schedules
- High-precision 3d bim coordination services to support off-site prefabrication
As one of the providers recognized for delivering the best bim consulting services for 3d modeling and coordination, we focus on practical jobsite execution. Our US-owned and operated team works as a direct extension of your VDC group to deliver clear, conflict-free models.
BIM COORDINATION CAPABILITIES & DELIVERABLES
Disciplined Spatial Management Across All Building Systems.
Effective model coordination requires more than running automated software checks—it demands trade awareness, clearance tracking, and structured meeting leadership. We organize our offerings to support complete project alignment:
| Service Area | Deliverables & Workflows | Key Benefit |
| Clash Detection & Audit | Systematic Navisworks matrices, distinguishing hard conflicts from soft maintenance clearances | Identifies physical interferences before fabrication starts |
| MEP Trade Coordination | Spatial routing for mechanical mains, conduit racks, plumbing, and fire protection | Maximizes ceiling heights and respects structural penetrations |
| Meeting Leadership & VDC | Structured virtual trade meetings, action item logs, and live issue tracking via ACC/Revizto | Keeps trade leads aligned and accountable to the schedule |
| Shop Drawings & Prefab | Coordinated sleeve plans, hanger locations, and spool sheet exports for off-site builds | Speeds up field installation and cuts jobsite labor hours |
Technical Execution
- Custom Clash Matrix Setup: We run targeted clash tests based on project milestones, prioritizing structural integrity and primary MEP mains before branch piping.
- Cloud Issue Tracking: We use ACC, BIM 360, and Revizto so trade contractors can resolve assigned clashes directly inside their native Revit tools.
- Constructability & Access Reviews: We verify physical installation paths, seismic bracing limits, and equipment access zones for long-term maintenance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are BIM coordination services?
BIM coordination services involve combining 3D models from architects, structural engineers, and MEP trade contractors into a central environment to identify, track, and resolve physical and clearance conflicts before field construction begins.
What software platforms do you use for clash detection?
We primarily use Autodesk Navisworks Manage, Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 Coordinate), Revit, and Revizto, adapting to your project’s preferred tech stack.
Can you manage coordination meetings with our trade contractors?
Yes. Our VDC specialists lead weekly or bi-weekly coordination meetings, present grouped clash reports, assign responsibility for fixes, and follow up with trade leads to keep the schedule moving forward.
