Autodesk Forma for Model Management
Your GCC Project Models. Coordinated, Clash-Free and Connected.
Autodesk Forma for Model Management — formerly BIM Collaborate — is the platform GCC construction teams use to coordinate multi-discipline BIM models, detect and resolve clashes before they reach site, and manage design changes across every team in a single connected environment. Accienta deploys it, configures it and trains your team on it.

Model Coordination That Finds Clashes Before They Find Your Budget.
Autodesk Forma for Model Management is the cloud-based platform that brings every discipline model — architecture, structure, MEP, civil — into a single coordinated environment where clashes are detected automatically, issues are assigned and tracked, and the entire project team works from the same live model set.
On GCC construction projects where multiple design consultants, specialist subcontractors and the main contractor all produce models independently, Forma for Model Management is the environment that makes coordination possible at project scale — without email chains, manual clash reports or weekly coordination meetings where nothing gets resolved.

Six Capabilities That Keep GCC Projects Clash-Free from Design to Handover.
Every capability in Forma for Model Management is built to eliminate the coordination failures that cost GCC construction projects time and money — not after they reach site, but before a single element is fabricated or installed.
Automatic Clash Detection
Upload models from any discipline and Forma for Model Management automatically runs clash detection — identifying hard clashes, soft clashes and clearance violations across the full federated model set without manual review.
Multi-Discipline Coordination
Architecture, structure, MEP, civil and specialist subcontractor models are all brought into one federated environment. Every discipline sees every other discipline's model — and every clash is visible to the team responsible for resolving it.
Issue Tracking and Assignment
Clashes become issues assigned to the responsible discipline with a due date, priority and status. The entire coordination log is auditable — every clash detected, every resolution recorded, every sign-off tracked in one place.
Model Change Analysis
When a model is updated and re-uploaded, Forma for Model Management identifies exactly what changed — new clashes introduced, existing clashes resolved, elements moved — so the coordination team focuses review effort where it is actually needed.
Web-Based Access
No Navisworks installation required for reviewers. Project managers, client representatives and subcontractors access the coordinated model, review clashes and track issue resolution from any browser — desktop or mobile.
Forma Data Management Integration
Models published to Forma Data Management are automatically available for coordination — no manual upload, no version control risk. When a design team publishes a new model revision, it flows directly into the coordination environment.
What Happens to GCC Projects Without Proper Model Coordination.
The cost of a clash found on site is between 10 and 100 times the cost of the same clash found during coordination. On a GCC project running at programme pressure with authority submission deadlines and developer milestone payments tied to progress — an uncoordinated model set is a financial and reputational risk.
Problem 01
Clashes reach site because no one owns coordination
On most GCC projects without a formal coordination platform, each discipline issues drawings independently and clashes are only discovered when two trades physically cannot occupy the same space. Rework costs, programme delays and contractual disputes follow. Forma for Model Management makes every clash visible to every team before a single element is fabricated.
Problem 02
Email-based coordination creates an unauditable record
When clash reports are shared by email and resolved by reply, there is no auditable record of what was found, who agreed to resolve it and whether the resolution was implemented. Forma for Model Management creates a complete, timestamped coordination log that protects all parties and satisfies employer BIM delivery requirements.
Problem 03
Model updates create version control chaos
Without a managed coordination environment, teams work on different revisions of the same model without knowing it. Coordination meetings review clashes that have already been resolved — or miss new ones introduced in the latest revision. Forma for Model Management tracks every model revision and highlights exactly what changed.
Problem 04
Authority submissions require BIM coordination evidence
Dubai Municipality BIM requirements, MOMRA digital delivery standards and major GCC developer EIRs increasingly require documented proof that BIM coordination was conducted — not just a statement that models were checked. Forma for Model Management produces the coordination record and clash resolution log that satisfies these requirements.
How Accienta Deploys Forma for Model Management on Your GCC Project.
Most teams that buy Forma for Model Management independently spend the first two to four weeks trying to configure it — setting up projects, uploading models in the wrong format, discovering their naming conventions are incompatible with automatic clash grouping and running their first coordination meeting before the environment is properly structured. Accienta removes every one of those friction points. Your coordination environment is operational, structured and trained before your first coordination meeting.
Discovery & Assessment
We audit your current model coordination process
Before configuring anything, Accienta meets with your BIM manager, project director and IT lead to understand your current coordination workflow — how models are currently shared, what disciplines are involved, what your employer information requirements specify and what your coordination meeting cadence looks like. We identify gaps in your current process and define exactly what the Forma for Model Management environment needs to deliver for your specific project.
Licence & Access Setup
We provision licences and structure your Forma account
Accienta provisions the correct Forma for Model Management licences for your team size and configures your Autodesk account — setting up the project hub, assigning administrator roles, configuring single sign-on if required and establishing the account structure that allows your CDE (Forma Data Management) to connect directly to the coordination environment.
Project Structure & Configuration
We build your coordination environment to your project requirements
This is the step most teams skip — and the reason coordination environments fail. Accienta builds the coordination project structure from the ground up: discipline packages, model upload folders, clash test configurations, issue type classifications, clash grouping rules and coordination meeting report templates. Every setting is aligned to your project's BIM Execution Plan and employer requirements.
Model Onboarding
We upload and validate your first model set
Accienta works with your BIM manager to upload the first set of discipline models, validate that every model is publishing correctly, confirm that clash detection is running accurately and verify that the results are meaningful — not thousands of noise clashes that overwhelm the coordination team. We run the first clash report with you so you understand exactly what you are looking at and why.
Training
We train every role on your live coordination environment
Accienta delivers role-specific training — not a generic platform walkthrough. BIM coordinators are trained on managing clash tests, assigning issues and producing coordination reports. Discipline leads are trained on reviewing and responding to issues assigned to them. Project managers are trained on reading the coordination dashboard and understanding what the numbers mean for programme risk.
Ongoing Support
We stay with you through the coordination lifecycle
Coordination environments evolve as projects progress — new subcontractors are added, models grow in complexity, discipline teams change. Accienta provides ongoing support throughout the coordination lifecycle: adding new discipline packages, adjusting clash test configurations as the design develops, onboarding new team members and advising when Autodesk product updates affect your configured environment.

Forma for Model Management — Every Question GCC Teams Ask.
Every Clash Found in Coordination Is a Clash That Does Not Reach Your Site.
GCC construction projects lose an average of 9–15% of contract value to rework caused by coordination failures. Most of those failures are detectable — they just are not detected because no one configured a proper coordination environment before the project started. Accienta deploys Forma for Model Management on your project in 10 business days. Book a 30-minute discovery call — we will review your project EIR, assess your current model coordination process and tell you exactly what needs to happen before your next coordination milestone.
