At SDC Studio, we believe that even small changes in workflow can deliver big results. In the very first episode of our SDC Knowledge Series, we explore one such shift—moving from traditional checklists to a BIM-integrated web-based checklist—and how it transformed our project coordination process.
Why We Moved to a Web-Based Checklist (BIM quality checks)
In many architectural and construction teams, quality checks are still carried out using manual methods or Excel sheets. While these work to some extent, they often lead to:
Outdated information being circulated.
Errors slipping through the cracks.
Time wasted chasing the latest files.
By switching to a BIM-integrated web-based checklist using tools like ClickUp, our teams now:
Work with real-time updates.
Link checklist items directly to drawing packages, model views, and BIM elements.
Avoid confusion caused by outdated PDFs or scattered spreadsheets.
The Efficiency Gains
With the checklist linked directly to our BIM model:
No double work – Everyone sees the same live data.
Instant collaboration – Designers, modelers, and site coordinators work in sync.
Faster reviews – Quality checks happen directly within the model environment.
Fewer Mistakes, Better Quality
Traditional 2D workflows often miss:
Wall tags.
Fire rating annotations.
Section symbol alignments.
Element data consistency.
Our web-based BIM checklist catches these issues early, before they become costly RFIs or rework orders.
Easy for Everyone to Use
One of the most common concerns is that BIM-based tools can be too technical.However, with the right platform and a quick 15-minute onboarding session, even team members with limited BIM experience can adapt easily.Because the checklist is visual, model-linked, and collaborative, it simplifies day-to-day work instead of making it harder.
Key Takeaways
Boosts efficiency by keeping the whole team on the same page.
Reduces costly errors by catching issues early in the BIM environment.
Easy to adopt with intuitive tools and minimal training.
