Virtual Building Concept

The Virtual Building concept stores all project information in a central database. Coordinated drawings and documentation are quickly and

efficiently produced from the building model.


Traditional Data Transfer

Large amounts of data are transferred across the network resulting in

bottlenecks, slow data transfer and inefficient project workflow.


BIM Server / Cloud Data Transfer

Only changed elements are transmitted to the central model from the local cache resulting in reduced network traffic and increased working speed

(delta server technology).


Collaborating within the team

An instant reservation system with colour-coded workspaces enables a large number of teammates to work on a building model simultaneously while

avoiding access right issues and conflicts.


Communication

Teamwork messaging allows instant communication between all teammates wherever their location, and to assign elements and tasks to other members

of the team.


Roles and responsibilities

Fine-tune permissions for all team members globally or for a particular project, for the assignment of task, work spaces and project administration.


Remote working

The BIMcloud connects project members in real-time from any distance on any standard HTTP/HTTPS network connection (with or without VPN).


Multiple Office Locations

Connect within the local area network with a VPN connection

Working from home

Continue to work on a project at home or without an

internet/network connection with a Travel Pack or local cache.


Project history and back-up

Restore or revert to a scheduled backup or cached copy of the

project at any time.


Access on-site

Access projects, models and documentation on mobile devices,

and communicate back to the BIMcloud with project mark-up


BIMx


Project mark-up

In addition to task assignment within the project, project mark-up and team messaging is available on mobile devices. Mobile communication synchronises

with the teamwork project reducing the possibility of construction errors.


External collaboration (OPEN BIM)

OPEN BIM supports a transparent, open workflow, allowing project members to participate regardless of the software tools they use utilising IFC and BCF
