The screenshots below show examples of an eight million SF portfolio which we have completed five million SF. The project includes space data, wall assembly metadata, and site-wide project tracking using Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Centralized, current BIM models support maintenance, renovation planning, and space management.
BIM protocols and standards allow for more coordinated construction and MEP planning in active hospitals by requiring a consistent deliverable that is routinely updated in a master file
BIM protocols ensure your facility meets NFPA, Joint Commission, and code compliance with accurate documentation.
Accurate space classifications and usage data directly support Medicare and Medicaid cost reporting, helping your facility maximize reimbursements and maintain regulatory compliance.
Investing in BIM reduces redundancy, speeds up decision-making, and lowers the cost of future upgrades. Understanding most facilities utilize multiple consultants, BIM protocols provide clear standards for consistent deliverables that easily
One of the most overlooked but powerful benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for hospitals is its role in improving accuracy and transparency in Medicare and Medicaid cost reporting. Using a BIM model enables hospitals to extract the precise spatial and departmental data required for CMS cost reports.
BIM provides real-time, location-based data that supports cost reallocations by department or space usage (e.g., patient care vs. administrative). BIM helps justify these allocations with clear visual and tabular data.
Accurate square footage by functional area (clinical, research, teaching, administration) can be automatically extracted from the BIM model, helping ensure proper allocation of overhead costs.
BIM supports reporting of departmental space assignments and employee allocations by providing structured, visual data on which departments occupy what areas.
Leased spaces or shared-use areas can be precisely documented, improving clarity in reporting relationships and expense justifications.
Clearly documented space use and department layouts make it easier to respond to CMS audits or inquiries.
Accurate facility data ensures departments are properly categorized for cost allocation and eligible reimbursement.
Annual BIM maintenance ensures your facility data is always CMS-ready, reducing the risk of errors or outdated square footage numbers.
Facilities teams, finance, and leadership have a shared source of truth for decisions related to program expansion or space re-purposing.
