During the construction, the Contractor has been developing the Model for final documentation as we can always go back in time and check the details. This can be done in many other ways or solutions that we have in our mind to implement and to improve the construction workflow.
This allows people at the site to check very quickly what should be in the delivery notes of the material ordered. The deliveries consist also of some additional information like the date of truck arrival confirmed etc.
BIM coordination in this case is not only the quality control coordination but also the Model utilization in order to transfer as much data as possible in the most transparent way for others.

Using the Common Data Environment (CDE) all the relevant parties of the project can contribute to tasks coordination and communication with each other to solve the issue or just to inform about changes or any other important information that should be accessible to everyone involved.
Objects and their quantities might be used for linking the activities with other properties or data to have a better overview of the different processes that the contractor is caring about.
In this way, we can build a smart model to present necessary data of the construction progress, productivity, performance and many more related to schedule and the budget. Better and detailed data collection of course generates a more accurate and up-to-date general overview.
It is a very useful tool for tracking the data for possible delays, forecast results, as-built schedule or any claim-related issues.

On the linear infrastructure project, there is a very helpful tool used by the survey team to scan 3D the terrain for progress reporting of the earthworks. However, when it is commonly used for the road part of the project it is good to use it as Trimble Connect point clouds to have the boundaries of the rigging area for any of the planning activity around the bridge like cranes/deliveries of material/casting with pumps concrete trucks or disassembly operations.
Pix4D cloud service enables to compare drone scanning from different dates that could be easily presented for any purpose during the construction or post-construction phase.
