3D BIM Coordination & Clash Detection for Facade Projects
Parametric BIM models for design review, permit submissions, and multi-trade coordination. Conflicts resolved in the model — before anyone picks up a tool.
Why coordination work needs a facade specialist.
Tesseract delivers BIM coordination and clash detection services for facade contractors, fabricators, and general contractors across British Columbia. We federate facade models against architectural, structural steel, and MEP backgrounds in Navisworks — resolving spatial conflicts in the model before they surface on site as RFIs or rework. Unlike general BIM consultants, every coordination we run is by the same senior team that builds curtain wall, storefront, and cladding models for fabrication. The coordination model and the shop drawings come from one source.
MODEL DETAIL
Fabrication-grade model detail — every connection coordinated.
DISCIPLINES COORDINATED
Architectural, structural, MEP, and facade — federated in every model.
STANDARD DELIVERY
Industry-standard exchange formats with native Revit available on scope.
FIELD CONFLICTS
When the full coordination package is delivered — every conflict caught in the model.
[METHODOLOGY]
So What's the Process?
Model Intake + Audit
We receive models from every discipline, audit them for LOD compliance and quality, and set up the federated coordination environment in Navisworks.
Multi-Discipline Linking
Your facade model is linked against structural steel, MEP routing, and architectural backgrounds for full spatial integration.
Clash Detection + Resolution
We run targeted clash tests by discipline pair. Every conflict is catalogued with a screenshot, severity rating, and an RFI outlining the proposed resolution.
Coordinated Deliverables
The coordinated environment is shared via common formats like IFC and NWC. Clash reports with visual markups are included in every package.
The Hive Coordination
PROJECT STUDY
Vancouver, BC
One of the most technically ambitious mass timber buildings in North America. We delivered complete glazing and cladding coordination models, running targeted clash detection between the complex honeycomb envelope and the prefabricated glulam structure to ensure seamless integration at every bay.

Questions Frequently Asked
We work with what you have. Our process audits incoming models for quality and LOD compliance, then federates them in Navisworks. If a model needs cleanup before it can be coordinated, we flag it and scope the cleanup separately.
