BIM Prevents Surprises — Known Cost Starts With Known Conflicts
Every structural clash discovered in the field costs 10x what it would have cost to catch in the model. When your MEP runs through a beam or your ductwork collides with a shear wall, you're not just paying for rework — you're paying for delays, change orders, and lost schedule.
Palisade Engineering's BIM coordination catches those conflicts before the first pour — so your budget stays where you set it and your schedule stays on track.

What Happens Without BIM Coordination
The difference between budget certainty and costly surprises comes down to one decision.
Without BIM Coordination
Field conflicts discovered during construction — costly rework
RFIs that delay your schedule by weeks
Structural clashes with MEP/plumbing found too late
Change orders that blow your budget
2D drawings that miss spatial conflicts

The Palisade BIM Advantage
Conflict Prevention
Identify and resolve clashes between structural, architectural, and MEP systems before construction — when fixes cost 1/10th of field changes.
Accurate Quantities
Precise material takeoffs from 3D models reduce waste, improve cost estimation accuracy, and give you budget certainty before breaking ground.
Faster Coordination
Real-time model sharing through BIM 360 accelerates design coordination across your entire project team — architects, MEP, and subs.
Fewer RFIs
Clear 3D documentation resolves ambiguities that cause RFIs. Your field team gets answers from the model, not from waiting on responses.

Who This Is For
We built our BIM practice around teams who need clash-free construction and budget certainty.
Architects
Your design intent stays intact when structural clashes are caught in the model, not the field. We coordinate directly in your BIM workflow.
General Contractors
Fewer RFIs means fewer delays. Our BIM coordination catches conflicts before they become expensive field problems.
Developers
Budget certainty starts with clash detection. Know your structural costs before breaking ground, not after change orders pile up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is structural BIM modeling?
Structural BIM modeling creates detailed 3D digital models of structural systems using Revit and BIM 360. Palisade Engineering uses these models to identify clashes between structural, architectural, and MEP systems before construction begins — preventing costly field conflicts, significantly reducing RFIs, and eliminating expensive change orders.
How does BIM reduce construction costs?
BIM reduces costs by detecting structural-MEP conflicts before construction, improving material quantity accuracy, significantly reducing RFIs through clash detection, and accelerating coordination across trades. Issues resolved digitally cost a fraction of what they cost when discovered in the field.
Do you coordinate with MEP and other trades?
Yes. Full MEP/structural coordination is core to our BIM service. We work directly with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing teams through BIM 360 to catch clashes before first pour. Our models integrate seamlessly with architectural and MEP teams for complete project coordination.
What software platforms do you use for BIM?
Palisade Engineering uses Autodesk Revit for structural modeling and BIM 360 for cloud-based coordination with project teams. We deliver fully detailed Revit structural models with clash detection reports, quantity takeoffs, and construction coordination documentation.
