Kicking off a new construction project requiring multidisciplinary BIM coordination
Use cases
About
The BIM Collaboration Site mind map template provides a structured framework for managing Building Information Modeling workflows across design teams, subcontractors, and project management. With 73 nodes organized into five main branches, it covers federated models for spatial coordination, model comparison for progress tracking, and as-built archiving. Key nodes include 'Models to Design Team' and 'Models from Subcontractors', which detail LOD 400 authoring and COBie data integration. This template serves as a practical cheat sheet for construction professionals coordinating multidisciplinary BIM processes.
Terms and ConditionsWhen to use this template
Project managers and field engineers
Tracking as-built model submissions from subcontractors for turnover
Document control and closeout teams
Preparing models for archiving with owner and contractor requirements
How to use this template
Step 1
Open and Explore the BIM Framework
Open the template in Xmind to review the five main branches covering federated models, spatial coordination, and as-built archiving.
Step 2
Customize Nodes with Project Data
Replace placeholder text with your specific Revit files and subcontractor details while expanding nodes to include additional trades or COBie fields.
Step 3
Export and Share Coordination Workflows
Save your finalized BIM collaboration map and export it as a PDF or image to share critical workflows with your multidisciplinary design team.
Frequently asked questions
The template includes 73 nodes across five branches: Models to Design Team, Project Management / As-Built / Archiving, Models to Subcontractors, Models from Design Team, and Models from Subcontractors. It covers federated models, clash resolution, LOD 400 authoring, COBie data, and as-built archiving.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then customize each branch with your project's specific models, subcontractors, and milestones. Use the 'Federated Models' node to track clash detection and the 'Create RFIs' node for issue management.
Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind desktop or web. You can add, remove, or reorganize nodes. It can be exported as PDF or image for printing.
The 'Model Authoring for LOD 400' node under 'Models from Subcontractors' lists trades like structural, mechanical, and fire protection. It helps track detailed model development for construction-level coordination.
Yes, the 'Add Applicable Owner (COBie) Data' node includes fields for warranty, O&M, specification, website, contract info, serial number, and product number, making it easy to populate asset data.
The template uses a radial mind map layout with five main branches radiating from the central 'BIM Collaboration Site' topic. Each branch contains sub-nodes for specific workflows, such as 'Federated Models' and 'Model Comparison for Progress'.
