Design & Build with BIM Co-ordination

Design support from stage 2 onwards through contractor design portions, BIM co-ordination, buildability review and technical delivery.

01 · Overview

One team from first sketch to witnessed handover. Coordinated in the model, so it installs first time on site.

From stage 2 onwards, RMS leads services design on full design-and-build appointments, develops or peer-reviews consultant designs where required, and coordinates design where responsibility remains with others.

That continuity shows up on site: buildable designs, fewer RFIs, coordinated builders-work and a commissioning plan that was written into the design from day one.

RMS runs BIM as a production tool, not a compliance exercise. Every package we deliver is modelled, federated and clash-resolved before fabrication — so risers fit, gradients hold and builders-work lands exactly where the drawings say it will.

The same models drive installation drawings, prefabrication and progress tracking, then carry structured asset data through to a usable handover for the estates and FM teams.

RMS helps project teams work toward SKA, BREEAM, LEED, WELL, NABERS and ASHRAE objectives.

A representative — not exhaustive — list. Involve RMS from stage 2 onwards, from feasibility through developing a consultant’s design to construction status. From a single-package clash review to running federation for the whole services scope, RMS scales the BIM effort to the project.

03 · What we deliver · What we coordinate

Design services · Model-led services

D&B.01
Early-stage & feasibility

Plant-space, riser and budget advice at feasibility stage — testing constraints before design decisions get expensive.

D&B.02
Contractor design portions

CDP packages taken with full design responsibility — calculations, schematics and specifications to construction status.

D&B.03
BIM coordination

Federated models, clash resolution and agreed builders-work at LOD 300–450 so the design installs first time.

D&B.04
Buildability & value engineering

Install-led design reviews and value engineering that protect the specification while cutting programme and cost.

D&B.05
Technical submittals

Samples, benchmarks and technical submittals managed against the specification through to installation.

D&B.06
Commissioning strategy

Commissioning, witnessing and handover documentation planned into the design — not bolted on at the end.

BIM.01
Federated model management

A single coordinated model across all services, updated and issued on a controlled cycle with the wider design team.

BIM.02
Clash detection & resolution

Systematic clash workshops with all trades — conflicts resolved in the model, not discovered on site.

BIM.03
Installation drawings

Model-led installation and fabrication drawings, dimensioned and issued to site.

BIM.04
Builders-work & penetrations

Openings, plinths and fixings taken from the model and agreed with the frame and fit-out teams early.

BIM.05
Prefabrication

Model-driven prefabricated modules and pipework spools that cut time on site and raise install quality.

BIM.06
Asset data & handover

Structured asset data captured in the model and handed over in a form estates and FM can actually use.

Designed with precision.

04 · Shared process

One verified process, shared across every service.

01
Assess

All enquiries are assessed and reviewed against current workload and capabilities, ensuring a swift commitment response.

02
Design & coordinate

From stage 2 onwards, RMS leads, develops, peer-reviews or coordinates design according to the appointment.

03
Install

Work is self-delivered and uses approved subcontractors or partners depending on project location, size and scope of works.

04
Commission

RMS commission all services that are delivered as part of any given package. Fully demonstrated to the client team.

05
Hand over

Full asset register, O&M documentation, seasonal visits if required.

Yes. As a design-and-build contractor we take contractor design portions and full-package design responsibility, supported by our engineers, coordinated BIM models, Calculations and Specifications.

From stage 2 onwards. Pre-construction input on plant space, riser allowances and budget costs de-risks the scheme before it hardens, while tender-stage packages can be developed to construction status.

Yes — from stage 2 onwards RMS can lead, develop or peer-review a consultant’s design, or coordinate it where design responsibility remains with others.

The people who design the system are part of the team that installs it. Install-led design reviews, agreed builders-work and value engineering that protects the specification mean fewer RFIs and no redesign on site.

Calculations, Specifications, schematics, coordinated BIM models, technical submittals and benchmarks, a commissioning strategy, and record documentation with O&Ms at handover.
