The next step in our coordination process is to create issue reports. These reports document the clashes we identified in the previous step during the model check.
To create these reports, we first need a few essential things. The primary one is creating something called "issues." Let me quickly explain what "issues" are.
An "issue" in BIM coordination refers to any type of problem or discrepancy detected within the project. As BIM Coordinators, we register these issues—such as clashes between elements or data inaccuracies—and clearly document them for designers, contractors to resolve.
Each issue includes a clear description, location, and responsibility assignment to facilitate resolution.
This how issue looks in Solibri:
The issue typically consists of several sections:
In the first section, we provide a title and a brief description of the issue. Additionally, in the coordination section, we define whether the issue is active, accepted, or not accepted. We also specify the status, priority, and the due date by which the issue must be resolved.
In the second section, we assign responsibility for the issue. You can designate either a single person or an entire team, although I generally recommend assigning one specific person.
The third section includes snapshots or images clearly showing the problem. Often, multiple snapshots are provided to clearly illustrate the issue within the model.
The fourth section contains comments detailing exactly what the issue involves and the specific problems with the data. Additionally, this section includes information on the location of the problem and identifies who created the issue.
Ok, now you know what is “issue” and what it contains, now I'll show you step-by-step how to create these issues and generate reports using two programs: Solibri and Navisworks.
