There are several coordination tools available on the market today. Which one you choose depends on several factors. To choose the right app, first, you should ask yourself 3 questions:

• Are the models/documentation created in one or more programs?
• What programs does my company use for coordination at the moment?
• Do we have already a license for any coordination software?

We distinguish 3 groups of programs allowing us to run model coordination:

Design authoring programs

If you use one tool for modeling multiple disciplines, it may be an option for you. For example, Autodesk Revit gives you the ability to check collisions using Interface Check in the Collaborate tab.

When it comes to data coordination, and checking if all the parameters in your Revit models are set up correctly, you can use a free Revit plugin called: BIM Interoperability tools. It is a collection of 6 tools that help BIM Coordinators manage and quality check Revit data.

Especially useful is Model Checker for Revit which automatically checks your Revit models based on a set of BIM requirements and generates a compliance report.

CDE - Common Data Environments

A few CDE’s on the market give us the possibility to conduct collision checks between different models in the cloud. Trimble Connect or Autodesk BIM 360 are one of those tools.
