Process

How We Work

A systematised delivery model with traceability, structured task allocation, and a three-tier quality gate. The process is the product - not individual skill.

3 quality gates on every deliverable

How Engagement Works

Every project follows three phases. Clear milestones at each step.

1

Onboarding

We audit your existing models, agree scope and standards, assign your dedicated team, and set up the CDE and communication channels.

Week 1–2
2

Delivery

Structured task allocation through our ERP. Daily model updates, weekly progress reports, and milestone reviews at every information exchange.

Ongoing
3

Handover

Final QA audit, model health report, documentation pack, and a structured knowledge transfer to your in-house team or the next project phase.

Project close

The Delivery Model

JES slots into your existing project structure. We don't replace your coordination layer - we plug in underneath it.

Your Team

Project Director

Strategic oversight

BIM Lead / Coordinator

Day-to-day interface

Design / Site Team

Markup & review

JES Project Manager

Single point of contact

Translates your requirements into structured task assignments
JES Delivery

Senior QA Engineer

Gate 3 sign-off

BIM Coordinator

Gate 2 review & federation

Modellers (2–6)

Production & Gate 1 self-check

Your BIM Lead talks to one person - our Project Manager. Behind that interface: a structured team with built-in quality gates. You get team output without team management.

Communication Rhythm

A typical week. Fixed touchpoints, no surprises.

Monday

Weekly kick-off

Task priorities confirmed, blockers flagged

CDE sync

Model status update pushed

Tuesday

Production

Modelling, coordination, clash resolution

Wednesday

Mid-week check-in

Progress vs plan, scope changes flagged

Review window

Your team reviews WIP models in CDE

Thursday

Production

Revisions actioned, QA gates running

Friday

Weekly report

Deliverables completed, hours logged, next week's plan

CDE publish

Approved models pushed to shared status

Three-Tier Quality Gate

Every deliverable passes three independent checks. No dependency on one person.

1

Self-Check

Modeller

The person who built it checks it against the task brief and modelling standards before submitting.

  • Naming conventions and file structure
  • LOD compliance per element
  • Parameter data completeness
  • Model origin and shared coordinates
If failed: returned to modeller with annotations
2

Coordinator Review

BIM Coordinator

Cross-discipline check. The coordinator reviews against federated model, clash results, and project BEP requirements.

  • Inter-discipline clash resolution
  • Spatial coordination and clearances
  • BEP/EIR compliance verification
  • CDE metadata and status codes
If failed: logged in ERP, returned to Gate 1 with detailed report
3

Senior QA Sign-off

Senior QA Engineer

Final authority. Signs off on deliverable quality, ISO compliance, and client-readiness before CDE publish.

  • Deliverable completeness vs scope
  • ISO 19650 information container compliance
  • Client-specific standards adherence
  • Visual and data quality audit
If failed: escalated to PM, root cause documented

Three independent checks. No single point of failure. The modeller who built it never signs off on their own work - someone else always does.

Revision & Feedback Workflow

Every comment gets logged, assigned, tracked, and closed. Nothing falls through the cracks.

1

You Mark Up

Comments via CDE, email, or markup tool - your choice

2

PM Logs & Assigns

Every comment becomes an ERP task with owner and deadline

3

Modeller Actions

Revision completed, self-checked (Gate 1)

4

QA Verifies

Coordinator confirms revision addresses the comment (Gate 2)

5

You Confirm

Updated model published, comment marked resolved

24h
Standard revision turnaround
4h
Critical-path escalation
100%
Comments logged & tracked

What You'll Need to Provide

We keep the ask light. Here's exactly what we need from you, and what we handle ourselves.

You Provide

The inputs we need to start and sustain delivery

  • Project brief or EIR - scope, standards, and deliverable expectations
  • Existing models and drawings - whatever you have, in whatever state
  • CDE access - or we set one up for you
  • One point of contact - your BIM lead or project coordinator
  • Review and approval - timely feedback on deliverables in the CDE
  • Company standards - if you have them; if not, we apply ISO 19650 defaults

JES Provides

Everything else - team, tools, QA, and reporting

  • Dedicated project team - PM, coordinator, modellers (scaled to scope)
  • All software and licences - Revit, Navisworks, Solibri, etc.
  • ERP task tracking - full traceability on every deliverable
  • Three-tier QA process - nothing ships without triple sign-off
  • Weekly progress reports - hours, deliverables, blockers, next-week plan
  • Knowledge transfer at close - documentation, model health report, handover pack

Your Role, Your Experience

What this looks like from your seat.

I'm a Consultant
I'm a Contractor
I'm a Developer

You keep the coordination. We do the production.

Your BIM coordinator stays in control of the project's information strategy. JES plugs in as your modelling and QA layer - your team reviews and approves, we build to your standards.

  • Your coordinator talks to our PM - one interface, not six modellers
  • We follow your Revit standards - templates, families, naming conventions
  • Weekly reports match your project rhythm - aligned to your milestone schedule
  • Revision turnaround is 24 hours - markup it, we action it, you verify it
  • Handover includes model health audit - so your team can maintain what we built

"We needed to know JES wouldn't create a parallel coordination layer. They didn't - they slotted under our BIM lead and we barely noticed the transition."

- BIM Manager, MEP Consultant (placeholder)

You get a BIM team that matches your site tempo.

Contractors move fast and change scope weekly. JES is built for that - daily CDE updates, same-day response on urgent markups, and a PM who understands that Thursday's RFI changes Monday's model.

  • Daily model updates in your CDE - not weekly drops that are already outdated
  • Shop drawing feedback actioned same-day - markups logged, assigned, tracked
  • Mid-project onboarding in under 2 weeks - we audit existing models and start producing
  • Subcontractor model coordination - we federate, clash-detect, and report weekly
  • Urgent escalation path - critical items get internal escalation within 30 minutes

"Our previous BIM provider couldn't keep up with site changes. JES matched our tempo from week one - daily updates, same-day revisions."

- Project Manager, Tier 1 Contractor (placeholder)

You get governance without managing the detail.

You need to know the BIM process is running, that deliverables are on track, and that you have something credible to show your board. JES gives you that layer without you managing individual modellers.

  • Weekly executive summary - one page: deliverables completed, hours, blockers, next steps
  • Governance model you can forward - the quality gate section is designed to be shared with your CEO/board
  • Integration with your existing team - we work alongside your PM and consultant, not around them
  • Time to results: 2 weeks - from kickoff to first deliverable review
  • You provide scope and access - we handle team, tools, QA, and reporting

"I needed a page I could send to my director that explained how quality was managed. The three-gate system sold it - they didn't need to understand BIM to trust the process."
