Verify quality, identify risks and improve BIM delivery
A BIM process is only effective when project information is accurate, consistent and produced in accordance with the agreed requirements.
Celona Consulting provides practical training in BIM auditing, model checking and compliance reviews. We help clients, consultants, contractors and design teams understand how to assess BIM delivery, identify areas of risk and establish clear actions for improvement.
The focus is on meaningful checks that support the project—not simply producing automated warnings or lengthy reports.
Understanding BIM audits
A BIM audit reviews whether the agreed information-management processes are being followed in practice.
Our training explains how to examine BIM Execution Plans, information requirements, delivery plans, responsibilities and Common Data Environment workflows. Participants learn how to identify gaps between the agreed process and the information being produced by the project team.
It also covers how findings should be recorded, prioritised and assigned so that corrective actions can be monitored through to completion.
Model checking and quality assurance
Model checking helps confirm whether a model is coordinated, complete and suitable for its intended purpose.
Training can cover:
- Model structure, coordinates, levels and grids
- File health, performance and unnecessary content
- Object naming, classification and required properties
- Model completeness and level of information need
- Drawing, model and information consistency
- Coordination, clash detection and exchange testing
We explain how to establish project-specific checking criteria rather than applying the same checklist to every model.
Demonstrating compliance
Compliance should be assessed against clearly defined project requirements.
Participants learn how to develop a structured checking process based on the information requirements, BIM Execution Plan, project information standard and agreed methods and procedures.
We also explain how to record the results, provide evidence and confirm that significant issues have been resolved before information is authorised or exchanged.
Turning findings into improvement
An audit or model check should lead to clear and proportionate action.
Our training demonstrates how to distinguish significant risks from minor inconsistencies and software-generated warnings. This helps teams focus their time on issues that could affect coordination, information quality or project delivery.
Tailored to your team
Training can be adapted for BIM managers, information managers, project managers, coordinators, designers and model authors.
Sessions can include practical model reviews, sample audit exercises or an examination of your existing checking procedures, templates and workflows.
