Quality assurance for your BIM models

Ensure your BIM models meet project standards, perform efficiently, and deliver reliable outputs. Our comprehensive auditing services identify issues before they impact your project.

BIM Auditing Services

Confidence in Your Model Quality

BIM models are only as valuable as their accuracy and compliance. Our auditing services provide objective assessment of your models against project requirements, industry standards, and best practices—identifying issues that could impact coordination, documentation, and downstream use.

From quick health checks to comprehensive compliance audits, we help project teams maintain model quality throughout the project lifecycle.

How a model audit runs

We start with your model and your standards - never by rebuilding it.

Receive model and standards

We take the model as it is, together with the BEP, template, naming convention and any client standard it is meant to satisfy. Nothing is modelled at this stage.

Define audit criteria

We agree exactly what the model is being judged against and what counts as a pass, so the report is measured against your requirements rather than our preferences.

Automated checks

Rule-based checks for model health, warnings, file size, purgeable content, duplicate and unplaced elements, worksets and view discipline.

Manual model review

What automation cannot see: modelling method, element hosting, whether geometry means what it claims, and whether the model can actually be used downstream.

Geometry and data validation

Elements checked against the required Level of Development, and parameters checked for completeness, consistency and correct type against your schedule needs.

Standards compliance

Naming, classification, shared parameters, view and sheet structure checked line by line against your BEP and template.

Issue classification

Every finding is rated by severity and effort, so you can see what blocks delivery, what costs money later, and what is cosmetic.

Audit report

A written report with evidence per finding, a prioritised remediation list and an honest verdict on whether the model is fit for its intended use.

Corrective review and re-audit

We review the fixes, re-run the checks on the corrected model and close the audit against the original criteria.

What you actually get

What a useful audit looks like, compared with a list of warnings.

Reviewed by a registered architect

Aercon is architect-led — a registered architect oversees delivery, so your model is questioned on design and constructability, not only geometry. Sealing and professional responsibility stay with your professionals of record.

Judged against your criteria, not our taste

We agree what the model is measured against, and what counts as a pass, before the audit starts. The report answers your requirements rather than our preferences.

Findings rated by severity and effort

You can see immediately what blocks delivery, what will cost money later and what is cosmetic, so remediation is a decision rather than a wall of issues.

Automated and manual, because both miss things

Rule-based checks catch model health and standards. A human catches modelling method, hosting and whether the geometry means what it claims.

Re-audit included in the scope

We review the corrections and re-run the checks against the original criteria, so the audit closes properly instead of ending at a report.

Your drawings stay yours

NDA before we receive anything, access limited to the named project team, and we never reuse a client's models, families or drawings for anyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

A BIM model audit is a systematic review of your BIM models against established standards, project requirements, and industry best practices. It identifies issues with model structure, data quality, performance, and compliance that could impact downstream use for coordination, documentation, or facility management.

Model audits are most valuable at key project milestones: before coordination, prior to deliverable submissions, at design phase transitions, and before handover. Regular audits during production help catch issues early when they're easier to resolve.

We audit against your project's BIM Execution Plan, LOD specifications (BIM Forum), owner requirements, and industry standards like IFC, COBie, and regional BIM mandates (UK BIM Framework, Singapore BIM Guide, etc.). We can also evaluate against custom client standards.

We provide detailed audit reports including issue categorization by severity, specific element identification, screenshot documentation, and recommended resolutions. Reports can be delivered in Excel, PDF, or through coordination platforms like BIM 360.

Yes, we offer model remediation services to address issues identified during audits. We can clean up model structure, correct data errors, optimize performance, and bring models into compliance with project standards.

We use a combination of Solibri Model Checker, Navisworks, Revit's built-in tools, and custom scripts for comprehensive audits. Tool selection depends on your project's software environment and specific audit requirements.
