Architects, engineers, BIM coordinators, contractors, and project teams often work in different tools. BIMcollab connects those workflows through issue exchange, model coordination, document context, and reporting connections.
Collaborate freely across tools and disciplines with industry-wide open standards and vendor-neutral workflows, so your data and projects remains flexible, interoperable, and truly customized to work for your team.
BIMcollab is built on openBIM principles, helping teams collaborate across tools, disciplines, and project phases without being locked into one software environment.
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) supports the exchange of BIM model information across different software tools. IFC schema establishes a common language for BIM data, acting as a bridge for sharing information across various disciplines and software applications involved in construction projects.
Building Collaboration Formant (BCF) is an open file standard that helps teams exchange issue information between model checkers, authoring tools, and BIM coordination platforms.
Information Delivery Specifications (IDS) is an open standard developed by buildingSMART that helps define information requirements for BIM projects, supporting better data quality from day one.
