BIM / Virtual Construction
Federated trade models, clash detection, 4D scheduling, and constructability review. Conflicts resolved in the model on a Tuesday afternoon, not in the ceiling at 11pm on a Thursday.
Serving Manhattan, the outer boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and Northern New Jersey.
What we cover
Architectural, structural, and trade models combined into one coordinated environment. Every trade builds against the federated model, drawings follow, not lead.
Hard clashes, soft clashes, workflow clashes, and clearance violations identified weekly. Clash reports are issued to the trade with a deadline, not a hope.
Schedule wrapped to the model, owners see what the building looks like week by week, and trades see what they have to build against the look-ahead.
Means-and-methods review by superintendents and trade foremen. The questions we'd ask on the first day in the field, asked while the design is still soft.
Laser scanning of existing conditions, scan-to-BIM, and progress capture against the model. Especially valuable in landmark and base-building renovation work.
As-built models, asset-data attachment for CMMS handover, and LOD-500 turnover packages that your facilities team can actually use after we leave.
How we work
Call (212) 947-6441 or email mahenegan@henegan.com. We sit down with you, your architect, and your real estate team to understand the program, the schedule, and the constraints we have to work inside.
Conceptual estimates, value engineering, site evaluation, long-lead identification. We get the budget and schedule honest before the GMP is signed, so the surprises are small and the answer is yes.
Buy out the trades, run the BIM coordination, sequence the work, keep the site safe, hit the milestones. Weekly OAC meetings, real schedule updates, and a superintendent on site every day.
Punch list, commissioning, sign-offs, O&M manuals, warranties, and the documentation your facilities team needs to actually run the space. We don't disappear after substantial completion.
Pricing
BIM coordination is scoped into the construction contract as a labor line, typically 0.5–2% of construction cost depending on project size and trade complexity. We never charge BIM as a hidden add, the scope and the staffing are spelled out before contract.
Owners with strong internal BIM standards get our model deliverables in their preferred format. Owners without a standard get a turnover model their next CM can pick up cleanly.

Yes. Our VDC team drafts a project-specific BIM Execution Plan covering modeling responsibilities, LOD per phase, coordination cadence, file naming, software interoperability, and turnover deliverables. The BEP gets aligned with the owner and design team in the first two weeks of pre-construction.
At minimum: structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler, and major ductwork. For mission critical or high-density projects we extend to specialty trades, bus duct, lab gas, cable tray, AV pathways, anything that competes for ceiling or wall cavity space.
Primary: Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud. We're software-agnostic on trade modeling, what matters is that the federated model resolves cleanly and the clash report drives real coordination, not just decoration.
A coordinated as-built federated model, LOD as agreed in the BEP, with asset data attached for CMMS / facilities handover. Plus the underlying Revit and Navisworks files so your next contractor or facilities team can pick up where we left off.
We'll walk you through a model from a recent project so you can see what coordinated work actually looks like.
More services
Owner's agent from concept to close-out. Budgeting, scheduling, bid leveling, trade coordination, change order control, and weekly reporting. Your single point of accountability on the build.
Lump-sum or GMP delivery for offices, law firms, financial services, non-profits, retail, and life sciences. We carry the trades, the schedule, and the risk so your team carries the vision.
Site evaluation, conceptual estimating, value engineering, constructability review, and bid packaging, done early enough to actually influence the design and the proforma.
