In today’s BIM world, OpenBIM is a must in most projects. Delivering and receiving projects in OpenBIM ensures efficient collaboration between all stakeholders. BuildingSmart created IFC format as an open concept, so all stakeholders can use them without being limited to particular software. 

IFC file format was used as a delivery file, but we intend to use it in our everyday workflow. So regardless of the BIM modelling tool, you can always collaborate, and the whole team works the same way. We will use IFC to check what we are sharing with the team.

Nowadays, the role of a BIM manager or a BIM coordinator is getting more specialised. Model checking and validating are becoming increasingly complex due to the variety of tools and specialised disciplines. In this article, we want to compare two of the most known model validation tools: Autodesk Navisworks and BIMcollab ZOOM. The goal is to compare features and workflows. Are you familiar with any of them both? Are you curious about the other one? Let’s get started!

Hoy en día, compartir la información BIM es vital para el éxito de los proyectos de construcción. Los miembros del equipo que desempeñan diferentes funciones dependen en gran medida del análisis y el uso de la información de los modelos BIM. Sin embargo, dado que un gran número de modelos se intercambia regularmente entre disciplinas, es difícil garantizar la calidad de los datos y modelos de los demás. Inevitablemente, los equipos de construcción podrán tener diferencias en la calidad de los datos.

Trabajar con diferentes modelos de diversas disciplinas puede ser un reto, especialmente cuando los otros usuarios tienen distintos niveles y habilidades BIM y utilizan diferentes estándares. Pero trabajar como BIM manager debería ser algo más que perseguir a la gente para que añada o modifique parámetros y que usted tenga todo lo necesario para realizar la validación del modelo. Con Smart Properties puedes "limpiar" el modelo a tu manera.

It’s no secret that construction projects require constant coordination, from the design phase up until their delivery. The real secret though is how teams execute this coordination. This is often what sets apart the good from the best. Let’s explore together how a connected workflow will save you time and money in 7 essential points.
