PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
20+ years of international experience
The Ziggurat blog is for developers, general contractors, design firms, architects, engineers and BIM specialists seeking to improve construction project delivery.
Our articles draw on practical Systems Coordination experience from complex international projects, addressing real engineering challenges rather than BIM theory alone.
Our articles explore:
Unlike general BIM resources, we focus on real coordination workflows, engineering solutions and experience you can apply to your own projects.
RELATED SERVICES
01
Comprehensive coordination of architectural, structural and MEP models, including clash detection, engineering solution reviews and project support through to the completion of coordination cycles.
Systems Coordination02
Establishing a shared digital project environment, with control over models, versions, standards, information flows and collaboration across the project team.
BIM ManagementYOUR NEXT PROJECT
Start with professional Systems Coordination during design. This helps identify clashes in time, improve collaboration across disciplines, reduce the risk of rework and make construction costs and schedules more predictable.

The blog features practical articles on Systems Coordination, BIM Management, clash detection, cost optimization, digital construction workflows and real case studies from international projects.
The articles are intended for developers, general contractors, design firms, architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, BIM coordinators and project managers.
We cover Systems Coordination, BIM Management, clash detection, BIM costs, digital transformation in design firms, BIM implementation, Revit, AutoCAD, Digital Twin, BIM strategies and practical guidance on delivering construction projects.
We recommend starting with articles on the fundamentals of BIM coordination, the differences between BIM and CAD, organizing the first coordination cycle and transitioning from AutoCAD to BIM. These will help you understand the working principles and prepare your team for digital transformation.
Yes. We have experience coordinating projects developed in Revit as well as mixed Revit and AutoCAD environments. The blog gives particular attention to practical Systems Coordination approaches for companies making a gradual transition to BIM.
