Coordination, shown rather than described
One model. Three consultants. Press a discipline.
Every consultant arrives as IFC and is held as its own discipline, so a clash is found in the model rather than on site.
Forty levels above grade, four basements, and the set is on site. Eleven drawing disciplines came out of that model, authored single handed.
Every practice running Archicad is carrying model debt
Invisible until a deadline turns it into overtime.
- 01
The drawings drift from the model
Sheets edited instead of the model, so nobody knows which one is right at CD.
- 02
Coordination lives in the inbox
Nothing tracked, nothing closed, and the same clash back three issues later.
- 03
The standard dies in practice
A template exists, the reasoning does not, so every new joiner rebuilds it.
- 04
Documentation caps the practice
What you can take on is bounded by the sets you can get out of the door.

Model Health Check
No fee · 45 minutesA screen share on your machine. Nothing leaves your office during the session and no file changes hands. You open any project you like, finished or live, and I ask questions while you navigate. Within two working days you get three findings in writing, with what each is costing you in hours. I will sign your NDA before we start, or send you mine.
The draft opens ready to send, with the questions already in it. Change what you like and hit send.
Model and Standards Audit
from USD 4,500Two to three weeks. Every finding ranked by severity, with the hours to fix each one.
If the audit does not surface at least ten material findings, you do not pay for it. In twelve years I have not opened a model that did not have them.
Ask about the audit →Fractional BIM Manager
from USD 4,700 a monthThe role held week to week: model reviews, consultant issues closed, the template maintained, new joiners up to speed. Without the salary, the recruitment, or the three month wait.
Ask about the retainer →Implementation and training
