BIM Services

BIM management and coordination is often treated as a checklist: agree a BIM Execution Plan, set some standards, and let the project get on with it. In practice, that's where problems start. Every discipline's model needs to work from the same file structure, the same standards, and the same version of the truth – and on a live project, all three are constantly moving.

Without proactive management, that drift causes delays and cost overruns. Design and construction teams end up working with information and models that are already out of date, so inconsistencies and errors start showing up on site.

That's why we don't stop at writing the plan. On many projects, we become an extension of the contractor's own team – running these processes rather than simply advising on how they should be run, and acting as the day-to-day point of contact on BIM matters between design teams, the contractor and the client.

On new builds, model production can be relatively straightforward, but on projects involving existing assets or infrastructure, the source information is often incomplete. That’s where Majenta specialises: taking the information that’s actually available – consultant models, 2D drawings, or legacy documentation – resolving inconsistencies or conflicts, augmenting it with surveys or laser scanning to fill gaps, and producing a 3D or 4D model that can be trusted.

But that’s only part of the picture. Coordination is what makes that model useful to a project, not just accurate in isolation. First, understanding the purpose – design development, construction coordination, or installation – and making sure the model is actually built to suit it. Then, keeping that model coordinated with other disciplines as a project progresses.

That’s why we don’t just hand over a model once it’s built. We also provide the people to keep it coordinated over the project lifecycle: managing versions and controlling alignment for as long as the model is in use.

Information Management is the cornerstone of our BIM services. Modelling, coordination, clash detection and 4D all depend on the underlying data being managed correctly. So effective IM is more than just document administration: it’s controlling all of the information that projects depend on.

In practice, it comes down to consistently answering critical questions. Who owns this piece of information? Which version of this model is current? Who has to approve these changes? Is every subcontractor on the project working from the same data? Majenta provides the structure and governance which make that possible, certified to ISO 19650: the international standard for managing information over the lifecycle of a built asset using BIM.

Rather than just advising on what good practice looks like, we can also provide the experts to run a client or contractor's IM function day-to-day. That can mean establishing and operating a project's Common Data Environment, defining information workflows, or managing the exchange of models and documents between organisations – whatever’s needed for successful delivery.

The simple view of clash detection is using software to review a model and generate a list of conflicts to address. But in isolation, that’s not a particularly useful output. The real value is in what happens next. Identifying what interfaces and clashes exist, and where, is just the start of a broader coordination process.

Majenta takes ownership of conflict reports from detection through resolution: reviewing the underlying information, federating discipline-specific models, assessing what the clashes mean for the project, and communicating with design and construction teams to agree on and implement resolutions before construction.

This approach means coordination problems are not just identified early, but resolved in the model: before they become rework, delays, or disputes on site.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems often create bottlenecks because of tight tolerances and complex subcontractor and trade scheduling. Even minor errors in MEP coordination can create knock-on effects that derail a project schedule and result in significant time and cost overruns.

This is especially true on technically demanding projects: nuclear, data centres, healthcare and other environments where dense services and strict regulatory requirements leave little room for coordination problems surviving into construction. On these projects, MEP coordination has to be more than a conflict-checking exercise; it requires a broader understanding of the reality on site: the buildability of systems, the sequencing of installations and the way different disciplines work.

That’s where Majenta adds real value. Our MEP teams aren’t just software experts; they have hands-on experience working with contractors and trades on real-world projects. We embed that expertise within your teams to support projects from design through to handover.

A BIM strategy either becomes something a project team actually uses, or a document that gets filed away and never read again. What makes the difference is effective BIM implementation and project support.

Majenta manages the practical side of this – setting up the standards, processes and requirements a project needs, from BIM Execution Plans and model checking through to digital delivery strategy – and then stays involved to make sure they're followed. We don’t just write the plan; we own it and deliver it.
