Engineering Services Coordination

We coordinate all engineering services around the architectural model.

We bring together all engineering projects — structural engineering, plumbing and drainage, electrical, thermal, acoustic and gas — ensuring full coordination between the structure and the architectural design.

A clear process, in four steps

04

A building with no conflicts between projects makes for a more predictable construction.

[01]

Definition

Identification of the engineering services required by the project and by the permitting authorities.

[02]

Integration

Coordination of the engineering teams around the architectural model.

[03]

Coordination

Clash detection in BIM, the digital model of the building — problems are resolved on the computer, not on site.

[04]

Delivery

Complete and coherent engineering services, ready for submission of the application and for construction.

Coordination in BIM

The engineering services are built on the central architectural model — conflicts are detected before construction begins.

shape-r-2.webp

Regular team

We work with trusted engineers, accustomed to our method and standard of rigour.

A single point of contact

The client has a single point of contact; the coordination of the engineering services is our responsibility.

Frequently
asked questions

It depends on the type and size of the operation: structure, water and drainage networks, electricity and thermal performance are common; acoustics, gas, telecommunications and fire safety are added as the case requires. We define the list at the outset.
Both. We have a regular engineering team, but we naturally coordinate with designers appointed by the client.
It is making sure the architectural and engineering designs fit together — that the beam does not cross the window and the duct does not tear through the living-room ceiling. In BIM, these clashes are detected automatically.
Because clashes discovered on site are resolved with extra works and slipping deadlines. Coordination costs a fraction of what it prevents.
Why the studio

A single point of contact

From the preliminary study to the delivery of the works, you always speak with whoever designed the project.

Fewer errors, fewer overruns

The BIM model eliminates incompatibilities before construction begins — deadlines met, budgets respected.

Real knowledge of the municipalities

86 projects across 16 municipalities. We know each council's practice — and that shortens permitting.

BIM methodology

All the studio's services are developed in BIM (Building Information Modeling): the building is built virtually before the works — fewer errors, controlled costs and better-informed decisions.
