Clash-free MEP coordination, LOD 400 modelling, and construction-ready documentation for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centre builds delivered by a team that has done this before.

On-Time Delivery Records
A data centre packs dual-path power, precision cooling, structured cabling, fire suppression, and redundant communications into the same ceiling voids and floor plenums. One unresolved clash between a busbar run and a CRAC unit can hold up an entire construction phase and site is not the place to find it.
As a specialist BIM consultant for data centre projects, Bimacme brings a process purpose-built for this environment. We have coordinated Tier I through Tier IV facilities hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise and our workflows reflect what these buildings actually demand.
Busbar, CRAC units, and structural steel in conflict — found only after steelwork is up.
Separate HVAC, electrical, and plumbing models never properly federated into one.
Zones handed to site before coordination is signed off — compounding rework exposure.
As-built records that don't reflect what was installed — leaving FM blind from day one.
One team, one process, one point of accountability — from model intake to FM handover.
Coordinated Revit models for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection built to your BEP LOD with data centre-specific equipment families and clearance zones.
Systematic multi-discipline clash testing using project-defined tolerances. Every hard clash, clearance conflict, and maintenance access violation is logged, tracked, and resolved.
Project-specific BIM Execution Plans defining LOD, CDE protocols, delivery milestones, and coordination responsibilities aligned to ISO 19650 and your EIR.
Dedicated coordination for dual-path power, precision cooling, UPS rooms, hot/cold aisle containment, raised floor voids, generator fuel lines, and structured cabling.
Construction-level shop drawings generated directly from the coordinated model guaranteed to match what was coordinated, not a separate drawing set.
LOD 500 as-built models with embedded asset data and maintenance schedules so the FM team can manage the facility from the day of handover.
Every project follows the same fixed sequence. Each step has a defined output that feeds directly into the next.
Review EIR, confirm LOD schedule, establish the Common Data Environment, and set up the federated model framework — before any coordination work begins.
All discipline models are built or validated, federated in Navisworks against a common coordinate system, and verified for alignment before clash testing starts.
Clashes are categorised, assigned, and issued as structured reports. Weekly coordination meetings work through the matrix until every conflict is resolved and model-confirmed.
Clash-free zones issued with signed-off model, coordinated drawings, sleeve register, and clash log. Post-construction, the model is updated to as-installed for FM use.
We confirm the LOD schedule for every discipline at onboarding and we never model above or below what the project actually requires.
LOD | What Is Modelled | Stage | Primary Use on Data Centre Projects |
LOD 300 | Exact geometry, confirmed routing, correct equipment dimensions | Design Development | Design-stage clash detection between MEP and structural |
LOD 350 | Support structures, hanger positions, sleeve openings, clearance zones | Pre-Construction | Construction-level coordination, sleeve register, trade sequencing |
LOD 400 | Fabrication data, manufacturer dimensions, connection details | Construction / Fabrication | Shop drawings, busbar fabrication, prefabrication coordination |
LOD 500 | Verified as-installed positions, asset metadata, FM-structured data | Handover / Operations | Digital twin foundation, FM system integration |
Agreed at onboarding and fixed throughout. No ambiguity at handover about what is and is not included.
A BIM consultant manages the full digital information process from BEP setup and CDE configuration through to multi-discipline coordination, clash detection, and construction documentation. On data centre projects, the BIM consultant also acts as the information manager, ensuring every trade works from a common verified model.
As early as possible ideally at RIBA Stage 2 or equivalent. The earlier the federated model exists, the earlier spatial conflicts are identified and resolved. Bringing in a BIM consultant after detailed design is underway significantly increases the volume of first-round coordination work.
Yes. We review incoming models for coordinate alignment, naming compliance, and LOD accuracy before federating them. We can also work from 2D CAD drawings where Revit models are not available from certain trades.
Yes. We structure the coordination process around the phasing programme from day one so that construction in one module never compromises systems already living in another. Construction release documentation is issued phase-by-phase.
Tell us about your project. We will confirm scope, agree a BEP framework, and get coordination underway.
