Supporting Building Information Modelling (BIM)

3D design coordination forms part of the wider Building Information Modelling (BIM) process used on many modern construction projects. BIM helps teams manage project information digitally throughout design, construction and operation.

Our coordination approach supports projects delivered in accordance with BS EN ISO 19650, the UK and international framework for managing information using BIM. These standards establish clear processes for digital collaboration, model management and information exchange between project stakeholders.

Where required, our team can operate within client BIM environments, supporting coordinated design reviews, data exchange and model development across multiple disciplines.

Improving Safety and Buildability

Early design coordination directly supports safer construction. The project team can identify conflicts before work begins on site. This helps avoid last-minute design changes and unsafe installation conditions.

This proactive approach supports compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, which require designers and project teams to eliminate foreseeable risks during the design stage wherever reasonably practicable.

Coordinated design also improves buildability. Installers have clear information about how systems fit together, structural penetrations are planned in advance, and access for future maintenance is properly considered.

Supporting Food and Temperature-Controlled Facilities

Many of our projects involve highly regulated environments such as food manufacturing facilities, cold storage buildings and temperature-controlled distribution centres.In these settings, the team must coordinate plant layouts, hygiene zoning, services integration and structural design.

3D modelling allows the design team to test layouts for:

• production line integration
• hygienic zoning and segregation
• drainage and washdown infrastructure
• temperature-controlled building envelopes
• structural interfaces with plant and services

This level of coordination supports facilities designed to operate in accordance with recognised food safety standards such as BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety, alongside wider UK building and engineering regulations.

Trusted Coordination for Complex Projects

Ambrey Baker provides structured 3D design coordination across the full lifecycle of industrial projects. Our experience in manufacturing, logistics and food production environments allows us to identify technical risks early and deliver coordinated, buildable designs.

Clients rely on our team to manage complex design interfaces, resolve spatial conflicts and ensure every element of the building integrates correctly before construction begins. The result is a clearer design process, reduced construction risk and a facility that performs exactly as intended.
