BIM Consultancy for MEP Teams
Most BIM support stops at the model. We work above it. BIM Hives runs the process around your MEP delivery — the standards, the information management, the coordination and the handover — so your projects stay controlled, auditable and on track from setup to FM.
For consultancies, that means someone senior owning your BIM standards and information management. For contractors, it means a partner who manages the federated coordination model and carries you cleanly through to handover. Either way: you get the high-level BIM capability without carrying it in-house.
Information Management & Standards
BIM Implementation & Standards
Setting up the information backbone of a project — authoring EIRs and BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), and configuring the CDE so information flows to a defined structure from day one, aligned to ISO 19650.
Information
Management
Managing project information to ISO 19650 principles — the naming, status, approval and delivery of models and data — so the right information reaches the right people at the right time, with a clear audit trail.
Model Audits & QA
Independent audit of Revit and federated models against your standards and information requirements — geometry, data, naming and LOD/LOIN — delivered as a clear report with prioritised, actionable fixes.
Coordination & Handover
Federated Model Coordination & Management
Setting up and running the federated coordination model across all disciplines — managing the clash process, chairing coordination, and keeping one current, trustworthy federated model the whole team can rely on.
BWIC & Fire-Interface Coordination
Coordinating builderswork openings and fire-stopping interfaces early — sizing, positioning and validating service penetrations with the wider design team to cut costly downstream rework on site.
COBie &
FM Handover
Structured handover support — COBie data validation, as-built model and drawing updates, and asset information organised for facilities management, so the handover deliverable matches what the contract actually requires.
Who it's for
MEP consultancies & BIM leads
— you need senior BIM capability owning your standards, information management and QA, without adding a permanent hire.
Main contractors & specialist contractors
— you need someone to manage the federated coordination model, run the CDE, resolve BWIC and fire interfaces, and get you to a clean, compliant FM handover.
How it fits our engagement models
Consultancy works two ways. It can run as a standalone engagement — an audit, a handover package, or ongoing information management — through the same three models as our delivery:
-
Ongoing Support - Monthly Plan (P01)
-
Project-based support (P02)
-
Short-term cover (P03)
Or, if you already work with us for delivery, consultancy can be added to your Monthly Plan — layering senior oversight, information management and coordination on top of your modelling capacity, so more of your BIM function sits with one accountable partner. Either way, it's all planned, tracked and visible in the BIM Hives Portal.
