BIM Process Consulting: Step by Step to Streamline Deliverables and Workflows

Step 1: Real Diagnosis with a Focus on BIM Processes

Everything starts with a practical audit. Here, it’s not just about whether you use Revit or ArchiCAD. It’s about evaluating whether you have a clear workflow, whether you repeat mistakes, and whether your deliverables depend more on the team’s effort than on a solid technical system.

This first stage uncovers process gaps that are affecting your operation.

Step 2: Technical Mapping of Internal Processes

Before building a solution, you must understand the current map. Who does what? How does information flow? Where does the production chain break?

BIM process consulting allows you to visualize your technical reality and establish the foundation for a new system based on order, clarity, and repeatability.

Step 3: Creating the Operational BEP for Your Studio

This is where standardization begins. The BEP (BIM Execution Plan) isn’t just a formality—it’s a functional guide. It defines:

• File and deliverable names

• Shared parameters by specialty

• Roles and responsibilities

• Technical review timelines

Without a clear BEP, each team member keeps improvising.

Step 4: Developing Templates Aligned with Your Process

Now it’s time to make the plan tangible. A well-designed template translates the BEP into the tools your team uses daily, like Revit.

• Views by deliverable type

• Standardized families

• Consistent graphic styles

• Preconfigured parameters

With this, wasted time on repetitive configurations disappears.

Step 5: Training Applied to the Real BIM Process

This isn’t about theoretical courses. The team is trained using their own projects, templates, and deliverables. What’s learned gets applied the next day.

• How to model using the studio’s template

• How to apply reviews without duplicating work

• How to communicate technical changes clearly

This stage shortens the learning curve and builds technical confidence.

Step 6: Pilot Project Guided by Consulting

This is where everything comes together. A real project is selected, and the new system is applied in full:

• Technical production with template and BEP

• Organized change control

• Clear documentation

• Detail reuse

• Controlled review times

• Centralized corrections

Improvements are measured, and adjustments are made as needed.

Step 7: Scaling and Sustaining the BIM System

Once validated, the system is scaled to other projects. A continuous improvement mechanism is also installed:

• BIM follow-up meetings

• Performance indicators

• Deliverable reviews in cycles

This ensures the system adapts and grows with you.

Why You Need Consulting, Not More Hours of Software

Because software doesn’t fix underlying problems. If your deliverables are slow, confusing, or disorganized, you don’t need another plugin—you need a process that works. BIM process consulting doesn’t teach you how to push a button. It teaches you to think as a team that delivers with professional quality.

Conclusion

If you identify with chaos, urgent poorly coordinated deliverables, and technical frustration, the solution isn’t working harder—it’s working better. BIM process consulting is the structure your studio needs to grow.
