Although BIM-based design coordination is widely used in the commercial construction industry, there remains a need for a standardized practice. \u003ci\u003eBIM for Design Coordination \u003c\/i\u003eformalizes industry best practices and provides structured guidelines to the process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHelping readers gain the benefits of BIM-based design coordination, this practical guide covers areas such as setting up a project for success, model quality impacts on design coordination, carrying out a successful VDC session, and more. Specific guidelines for various project stakeholders are laid out in detail, while real-world examples of project design coordination workflows and templates for BIM Project Execution Plans (PxPs) are provided throughout the text.
