Federated BIM model, mixed-use development

Systematized BIM services in Bern.

Production, coordination and governance to ISO 19650, delivered as a full BIM team for consultants, contractors and developers. No internal hire, no management overhead.

Federal and infrastructure work is exacting. Its record has to hold.

Public buildings and infrastructure in the capital are documented to be audited, and every model hour produced in-house carries a Swiss salary. 260+ engineers, offshore production, audit-grade evidence. They deliver to ISO 19650 with a QA record your auditors can walk file by file.

The full scope, one supplier

Eight capabilities from one team and one QA system, so your project never coordinates across multiple BIM vendors.

  • 3D BIM modelling

    Multidiscipline Revit and Civil 3D production with Navisworks federation, run to a single modelling standard across every package.

  • Revit family creation

    Parametric Revit families to your LOD and naming specification, from facade components to plant-room equipment.

  • 4D, 5D and 6D simulation

    4D programme simulation and 5D cost on the coordinated model, with 6D performance data where your brief calls for it.

  • Shop drawings & detailing

    Trade shop drawings coordinated against the federated model and issued at construction tolerance, ready for your site office.

  • Scan to BIM

    Scan to BIM for the renovation pipeline: point clouds converted into reliable as-built models for retrofit and conversion work.

  • CAD to BIM conversion

    Archive 2D drawings rebuilt into coordinated 3D models, giving older assets a single current source of truth.

  • BIM for facility management

    Asset data structured to COBie or your CAFM schema at handover, so operations starts with information instead of a search.

  • Quantity take-off & BOQ

    Model-based quantity take-off mapped to your cost codes, keeping tender, procurement and variations on one number.

Three sets of eyes before it leaves.

Every JES deliverable moves through a fixed Author-Checker-Approver gate, tracked in the CDE. The same standard whether it's engineer 3 or engineer 250.

Author
Model and documentation produced to the MIDP task card. Self-review against the project QA checklist before submission.
Status: WIP
Checker
Independent review against the BEP and federated model. Defects logged, deviation report returned to Author.
Output: Deviation report
Approver
Signed off against EIR and LOIN. Promoted from WIP to Shared or Published in the CDE.
Status: Published

Without the record, failures surface late: undocumented model changes, quantities nobody can reconstruct, handover data that fails validation. JES files carry their evidence with them, three signatures and a timestamp on every deliverable.

Delivered with the audit trail intact

Metro, aviation and museum projects delivered to ISO 19650 in the Gulf, each with its QA history on record and available for review.

What changes when delivery runs to a system

  • Construction-ready output

    Coordinated drawing sets issued against the programme from a clash-checked federated model. Site queries drop because the answers are already modelled.

  • Your team stops chasing deliverables

    Author-Checker-Approver sign-off on every file, visible in ERP dashboards. You read where each deliverable sits instead of writing chasing emails.

  • Runs to standard

    ISO 19650 structure from kick-off: EIR interpreted, BEP written, CDE configured. The audit trail builds as the project runs.

Common questions about BIM in Bern

Both. We produce the models, drawings and coordination, and we govern the information through BEP authorship, the CDE and the ISO 19650 gate. One accountable team owns both, not a consultancy advising beside a shop that draws. When public buildings are documented to be audited, that single ownership keeps production and the record that has to hold aligned throughout.

Yes. A delivery lead owns your programme and embeds in your coordination, backed by 260+ engineers delivering to ISO 19650. Every model hour they produce sits off a Swiss salary base, with a QA record your auditors can walk file by file. Capacity scales with the programme rather than a permanent bench, and one accountable name stays on the contract.

Yes. Our consultants embed in your delivery, author the BEP, hold your LOD and meet your openBIM requirements to ISO 19650. Your engineers spend their hours on judgement rather than production, while the modelling load moves to our floor. One named lead is accountable across the programme, so the exacting record public infrastructure requires is held to standard throughout.

Yes. We laser scan the existing building, register the point cloud and produce a coordinated record model that matches what stands, useful for the capital's public stock that has outlived its drawings. That verified base is what architecture, structure and MEP coordinate against, with the QA history documented. It gives your team an audit-grade record of the building before new work begins.

Architecture, structure and MEP, authored in Revit and federated in Navisworks for regular clash cycles on one model. For infrastructure and public builds, the clash record is documented alongside each package, because on your sites the evidence matters as much as the fix. Every file passes the Author-Checker-Approver gate against your BEP, so packages ship at construction tolerance.

Scope, disciplines, LOD and programme length drive it, not a flat day rate. A multi-discipline public building model to a high LOD carries more hours than a single package, and we scope to the actual work. Because the point is an audit-grade record off a Swiss salary base, the clearest test is a zero-cost pilot on one package, QA record included.
