BIM Services Designed to
Govern Information
— Not Just Create Models
We design owner-controlled BIM systems that deliver reliable information, integrated controls, and decision-ready intelligence across the full asset lifecycle.
The Problem
Why Most BIM Services Fail
Across BIM offerings typically bundled by PM consultants, designers, or software vendors, BIM is often reduced to:
Typical BIM Offerings:
- 3D coordination and clash detection
- Model authoring for design teams
- 4D / 5D visuals without control logic
- Tool-centric workflows tied to specific platforms
- Weak Integration
These answer: "What does the model show?"
They often fail to answer:
BIM Is an Information Governance System - Not a Modeling Service.
The question that matters to owners and investors.
xPM Definitive Position
BIM Is an Information Governance System - Not a Modeling Service.
xPM does not sell:
- Modeling labor
- Software licenses
- Visualization for its own sake
We design BIM that:
- Defines what information is required, when, and why
- Integrates with cost, schedule, risk, and controls
- Enforces accountability across all parties
- Supports executive and project decisions
If information does not change a decision, it does not belong in the model.
BIM coordination begins in pre-design and extends through construction administration, ensuring all stakeholders maintain alignment across research, approvals, and execution phases.

How We Deliver BIM Strategy
IM Strategy & Information Governance
We establish project-specific BIM strategies aligned with ISO 19650, defining information responsibilities, coordination workflows, and quality control rules before modeling begins. This ensures that every model element and data point serves a clear project purpose and supports informed decision-making.
Repeatable Building Typologies & Federated Models
For projects with repetitive building typologies, we develop single, reusable BIM models and deploy them across sites through controlled federated coordination. This approach improves consistency, reduces modeling effort, and enables scalable delivery without duplicating work.
Coordinate Systems & Site Integration
We separate building-level internal coordinates from site-level shared coordinates, allowing accurate site placement while preserving clean, repeatable building models. This strategy supports reliable multi-discipline coordination and prevents common coordinate conflicts on large or multi-block projects.
Right-Sized Modeling & Practical Coordination
Our BIM process focuses on resolving real project risks through coordination at the required level of detail — avoiding unnecessary over-modeling. Information is developed only where it adds value to design, construction, scheduling, or cost control.
What We Explicitly Are Not
We are the owner's independent BIM Management and information authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
1What does BIM mean for owners, not designers?
For owners, BIM is a decision and risk-management tool, not just 3D modeling.
xPM uses BIM to improve cost certainty, constructability, coordination, and lifecycle value—supporting better decisions from development through construction and operations.
2How is xPM's BIM service different from typical BIM coordination?
Most BIM services focus on model production.
xPM focuses on BIM governance, ensuring models are:
- Aligned with project and program objectives
- Integrated with cost (5D), schedule (4D), and procurement
- Used to reduce RFIs, clashes, change orders, and delays
We manage BIM as part of the project control system, not a standalone task.
3When should BIM be implemented in a project?
BIM delivers the highest value when implemented:
- During early design and pre-construction
- Before major procurement and construction commitments
- On complex or fast-track projects
Early BIM adoption significantly reduces downstream coordination issues and cost overruns.
4What BIM services does xPM provide?
xPM's BIM services include:
- BIM execution planning and governance
- Design coordination and clash detection oversight
- 4D (schedule-linked) and 5D (cost-linked) BIM integration
- Model-based quantity validation and change impact analysis
Services are tailored to the owner's needs, not software vendors.
5How does BIM integrate with cost, schedule, and reporting?
xPM links BIM models directly with:
- Cost plans and budgets (5D BIM)
- Construction schedules and phasing (4D BIM)
- Change management and forecasting
- Executive dashboards and reporting
This creates a single source of truth connecting design intent to financial and time outcomes.
6Can xPM manage BIM if designers and contractors already have models?
Yes.
xPM frequently engages to:
- Review and govern existing BIM models
- Correct misalignment between design, cost, and schedule
- Improve coordination and decision visibility
- Establish owner-focused BIM controls mid-project
We work with existing teams while protecting owner interests.
