Common Collaboration Challenges…
BIM files are huge – how do
I distribute them?

How do I keep point in
time archives of the
model?
How do I have an
audit trail of
decisions made?

How do I access the
model in the field?

How do I reduce cycle
times on clash resolution?

How do I link other
information into my model
so I have a complete BIM?
How do I view a part
of the model without
having to download
the whole thing?
How do I easily get
2D plans out of my model
and distribute them?

True project collaboration – the right tools for the job
Corporate EDMS

What are the limitations
in a project environment?

Internal, enterprise focus

Generic collaboration functionality

Deploy, develop & maintain internally

Train & support users internally

How are users across
project organizations
supported and trained?

This is what happens if you forget the “ing”
Problem:
“Project was “designed” in BIM, but…
there was no communication and collaboration

Result:
The contractor sued the
owner, the owner sued the
architect, and the insurer
brought in the MEP engineer.

“There was a
“pretty significant cost,”
totalling millions of dollars,
which was shared by the
architect, the MEP engineer
and the contractor.”
