BIM365 — BIM & VDC Support for Electrical Contractors
Electrical is almost always the last trade to get coordinated, and the first one blamed when prefab doesn't fit on site.
Conduit gets routed after ductwork is locked in. Panel schedules change after the model's already been spooled. Cable tray ends up wherever mechanical and plumbing left space for it.
This isn't really the electrical team's fault. Electrical work depends on every other trade finishing first, but it rarely gets the same head start.
BIM365 helps electrical contractors get into the coordination model early, so your routes hold up once fabrication starts. We work in the same tools you already use — Revit, Navisworks, BIM 360/ACC — so nothing new to learn, just fewer surprises on site.
"Electrical doesn't fail because of bad modelling. It fails because it gets modelled last and changed first."
- BIM365 Team4 Things That Quietly Wreck Your Prefab Schedule
1. Conduit and cable tray get routed before ductwork is locked.
When mechanical routing shifts after electrical has already claimed the ceiling space, conduit has to be rerouted mid-fabrication. Coordinating against a near-final mechanical model, not a placeholder, stops most of this before it starts.
2. Panel schedules get finalized after the model, not before.
If loads or circuiting change after spooling has started, prefab racks get thrown out. Lock the panel schedule before detailing begins, and this doesn't happen.
3. Light fixture layouts clash with beams and ductwork late.
Fixture coordination often gets left for last. Check it early instead, and you catch ceiling height and beam clearance problems before ordering, not after delivery.
4. Cable tray gets whatever space is left over.
When tray routing is the last decision made, it gets squeezed, rerouted, or doubled up, adding site labor nobody budgeted for. Reserve tray paths during structural coordination instead of after.
BIM365 gets your electrical scope into the coordination model early, with clash detection, issue tracking, and prefab-ready detail that holds up once fabrication starts. If any of this sounds like your last project, our free clash detection trial will show you where electrical is losing time on your current model.
