Overlay

Overlay Services for Smarter Construction Coordination

What Is Overlay in Construction?

Overlay is a critical BIM (Building Information Modelling) service that helps compare multiple design models—like architectural, structural, and MEP—on a single layer. At TauroSync, we offer precise overlay services that identify clashes early, avoid costly rework, and keep your project on track.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an overlay in BIM and construction?

Overlay in BIM refers to layering multiple discipline-specific models—such as architectural, structural, and MEP—into one coordinated view. This helps detect clashes and resolve design conflicts before construction begins.

2. Why are overlay services important for construction projects?

Overlay services help identify design issues early, reduce rework, and improve communication between teams. This leads to fewer delays, lower costs, and smoother project execution.

3. What types of clashes can be detected through overlays?

Overlays can detect:

  • Structural vs. mechanical conflicts
  • Electrical conduit clashes with HVAC or plumbing
  • Inconsistencies in ceiling and floor alignments
  • Pipe or ductwork interference with beams or walls
4. Which industries benefit most from overlay services?

Any sector that relies on complex designs, such as:

  • Commercial buildings
  • Healthcare and hospitals
  • Educational campuses
  • Industrial plants
  • Residential complexes
5. What software do you use for overlay services?

At TauroSync, we use industry-leading tools such as:
