In Australia’s construction sector, poor communication isn’t just a frustration — it’s a profit killer. Studies show that:
- 🛠️ 30% of construction work involves rework, often caused by design errors and miscommunication.
- 💬 48% of that rework is due to poor communication among project stakeholders.
- 📉 Rework can slash annual profits by up to 28%, costing an average of 0.39% of a project’s total contract value.
These numbers tell a clear story — the industry’s biggest risk isn’t always technical. It’s human. When data, design intent, and field execution fall out of sync, the result is lost time, wasted material, and damaged trust between teams.
Where Communication Breaks Down
Even on well-planned projects, communication failures often happen when:
- Multiple teams work from different file versions or outdated drawings.
- Model coordination happens in isolation without clear accountability.
- Comments, markups, and issues are tracked across emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets — not a central platform.
- Field teams can’t easily access the latest data from the site.
These gaps make collaboration harder than it needs to be. That’s where integrated digital workflows come in.
How Revizto and BIM Digital Engineering Close the Gap
Revizto has become a game-changer in streamlining communication across the entire AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) chain. By bringing all disciplines — architectural, structural, and MEP — into one collaborative 3D environment, it eliminates the traditional silos that cause confusion and rework.
Here’s how:
- Centralised Issue Tracking: All comments, markups, and RFIs live in one place, linked directly to model elements.
- Real-Time Coordination: Teams can visualise design intent and changes instantly — from the office or the field.
- Accountability & Transparency: Every change and issue is logged, creating a clear audit trail.
- Cross-Platform Access: Whether on desktop, tablet, or mobile, everyone is always looking at the latest data.
When paired with BIM Digital Engineering, Revizto transforms complex design coordination into a transparent, collaborative workflow. Issues can be identified earlier, design intent stays intact, and decisions are made faster with reliable information at hand.
Collaboration Workflows that Drive Project Success
At Draftech, we believe technology is only half the story — the real value comes from how teams use it. Our collaborative BIM workflows ensure every stakeholder — from design consultants to contractors — works from a single source of truth.
Our approach:
- Model Coordination & Clash Detection using Revizto and Navisworks to identify issues early.
- 4D and 5D Integration to align design, time, and cost data.
- Constructability Reviews that connect digital models to real-world installation.
- Communication Protocols designed to ensure accountability and traceability at every stage.
How Draftech Can Help
Draftech helps project teams establish a connected BIM environment where communication is structured, data is centralised, and coordination is proactive — not reactive.
We provide:
- Revizto implementation and training to embed collaboration into your workflow.
- BIM coordination and digital engineering services that reduce rework and improve decision-making.
- Custom workflows that fit your project’s specific needs — from design through construction and handover.
By connecting technology, data, and people, we help you reduce rework, improve clarity, and keep your projects on track.
Poor communication is one of the most expensive problems in construction — but it’s also one of the easiest to fix with the right tools and approach.
With Revizto, BIM Digital Engineering, and Draftech’s collaborative workflows, you can turn fragmented communication into coordinated progress — saving time, money, and frustration across every project phase.

Jess and Karl at Draftech were amazing. The communication from the start was prompt, and the entire process was extremely easy. We needed their knowledge on Air Schematics, and they had made one up for our buildings that we service. Thanks so much, and we will be using you guys in the future. Cheers, Air Control Australia.
