Throughout the previous nine steps, we covered everything needed to run a simple coordination.

First, we federated the model, then performed checks using two different tools—Solibri and Navisworks. Finally, we created an issue report and send issues to BIM issue management platform called BIMcollab.

As a final step, it's essential to analyze the issues received from coordination software. This helps us understand the overall condition of our building.

BIM: More Than Just Creating Data

BIM isn’t only about generating data—it’s also about analyzing it and making informed decisions based on the information we already have.

When dealing with BIM coordination reports, running a thorough analysis is crucial. It allows us to:

• Identify which parts of the model have the most issues.
• Determine which discipline is lagging behind in resolving problems.
• Gain insights into the overall condition of all models.

Practical Example

Let’s say we discover that Level 2 in Building A has the highest number of clashes, and the majority of them are caused by the MEP department. This insight gives us a clear action point:

"We need to speak with the head of the MEP department and understand what's causing these problems."

How to Analyze BIM Reports?

Report analysis can be done using various tools, such as:

✅ Excel – for basic data organization and filtering.

✅ Microsoft Power BI – for advanced data visualization and reporting.

Personally, I like using BIMcollab because:
