Digital Delivery & Implementation
Any firm can buy Revit licenses and subscribe to a BIM platform. What separates organizations that extract real value from those that waste their investment is: the workflows, data architecture, training, digital project management, cooperation with project partners and integration strategy that turn tools into capability. OAR’s Digital Delivery & Implementation team builds that layer.
OAR provides Digital Delivery & Implementation services for engineering firms, construction companies, and industrial owners. We design Common Data Environments, develop BIM Execution Plans, integrate multi-source data streams, train teams on unified workflows, and build the data architecture that connects reality capture to design tools to design & construction or managment decisions.
The cost of fragmented data is about to get higher. As the AEC industry moves toward AI-assisted design review, predictive scheduling, and automated quality analysis, the organizations that will benefit are the ones whose data is unified. Fragmented data will will delay or prohibit AI utilization. AI does not work on data that lives in silos, arrives in incompatible formats, and never reaches the people who need it. The companies investing in data unification today are not just solving current project problems. They are building the foundation that makes next-generation tools usable.
Based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, OAR provides Digital Delivery & Implementation services nationwide for engineering firms, construction companies, and industrial owners implementing integrated data workflows for the first time or transforming existing systems to prepare for AI-ready construction intelligence.
“Professional, timely and highly accurate scanning and modeling by OAR has saved me $$$. Having a single 3D source of truth for engineers, OEMs and tradesmen made my last project a breeze.”
What is Digital Delivery & Implementation?
Digital Delivery & Implementation establishes data integration workflows, multi-platform architectures, training programs, and unified technology infrastructure that teams use to work with AEC data as a connected system. It includes integrating reality capture with design models, configuring Common Data Environments, developing BIM Execution Plans, and preparing organizational data architecture for AI-ready construction intelligence.
A Common Data Environment is a centralized platform where all project stakeholders access, share, and collaborate on BIM models, scan data, and project information. A properly configured CDE ensures version control, access permissions, real-time collaboration across distributed teams, and unified data access across all disciplines. Platforms include Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, BoreDM, ArcGIS, and integrated 3D viewing environments.
An Integrated Project Twin is a coordinated BIM environment that combines data from every active discipline: structural, civil, mechanical, geotechnical, environmental, into a single navigable 3D environment. Unlike a traditional BIM model that represents design intent, a Project Twin integrates reality capture, site investigation data, equipment metadata, and as-built conditions into one unified model suitable for design coordination, construction planning, and facility operations.
Data integration ensures multiple data sources, laser scans, survey data, geotechnical investigations, environmental sampling, aerial LiDAR, and design models, arrive in compatible formats, share common coordinate systems, and can be combined into unified models. OAR develops data integration matrices, manages coordinate transformations, establishes quality control workflows, and builds custom integration processes that connect reality capture to design to construction intelligence.
You need Digital Delivery & Implementation when...
You know you need 3D workflows but don’t know where to start. Which platform, how to structure your team, what processes to implement, and how to avoid the mistakes everyone else makes. We have built this from scratch before.
You invested in tools and training, but adoption is inconsistent. Some teams use it, others don’t, and nobody is getting the full value. We diagnose where the breakdown is and fix the layer underneath.
Survey data, aerial LiDAR, geotechnical investigations, environmental sampling, and design models that are separate instead of integrated. We build the integration architecture that connects them into one navigable environment.
Your project involves multiple offices, disciplines, or partners who all need to work from shared data. You need a CDE that is organized and reliably shows the most valid and recent data across every team.
Unified data architecture, consistent formats, and integrated workflows are the foundation that makes AI tools usable. We build that foundation now so your team can deploy those tools when they mature.
Generic Revit training does not teach your team how to work with multi-source data across disciplines. Our training programs are tiered, discipline-specific, and connected to your actual project workflows.
You want to mandate BIM and VDC from your AEC partners but need help defining what to require, how to enforce it, and how to measure compliance. We write those requirements and help you evaluate whether your partners are delivering them.
We don't just advise. We build.
Digital Delivery & Implementation engagements range from focused consulting on a single project to multi-phase programs that transform how your organization handles construction technology. Every capability below has been delivered in the field.

Assess
We evaluate your current capabilities, project requirements, team readiness, and data landscape. We define what success looks like and what the implementation needs to achieve to get there.
Architect
We design your implementation: data integration strategy, CDE architecture, workflow documentation, training architecture, and project intelligence framework. This is the blueprint your team will build on.
Build and train
We configure environments, develop integration workflows, and deliver training connected to your active project. Your team learns by doing real work in the system we are building together.
Operationalize
The systems, workflows, and training we build are designed to outlast the engagement. We document everything, transfer knowledge deliberately, and structure handoffs so your team can own what we have built. The goal is independence, not dependence on OAR.
Digital Delivery & Implementation in the field.
Engineering Firm BIM Transformation First Large-Scale BIM Delivery
Alabama · Shipyard Expansion ·
Hours logged across five projects
Large-scale project fully delivered in BIM for the client firm
Digital Delivery Maturity transformation initiated
A national engineering firm needed to transition their Waterfront Division from traditional 2D CAD workflows to a full BIM environment for a major shipyard expansion. They had no prior large-scale BIM project experience. OAR provided consultation, training, and ongoing implementation support. The shipyard project became the firm’s first large-scale delivery fully executed in BIM, and became the proof of concept for a firm-wide Digital Delivery Maturity transformation.
