Intelligent BIM Templates 🧠

Documents can collect ideas, record thoughts, share messages, checklists, form the basis of a discussion, and ultimately allow a team to collaborate and execute work.

Not many businesses could make it through a day without using documents.

Unfortunately, document challenges can account for a 21.3% loss in productivity! (IDC data)

In the video below, we see how intelligent BIM templates can automate cloud-based document creation and approval workflows:

Machine-Readable BIM Scopes 🤖

Unfortunately, 96% of engineering and construction data is unused (opens in a new tab).

The video below talks through the steps to set up a practical framework to define machine-readable BIM requirements.

We also help establish clear task instructions for teams to simplify the work and add detailed review and approval steps to ensure work is understood prior to contract.

We will show you how to export your BIM scope as PDF, Excel, and IDS XML for IFC (following buildingSMART schema).

We also finish with the bonus tips to show how templates can expedite your workflow.

Tips For Better BIM Contracting

According to 92 percent of AEC professionals, the BIM Execution Plans (BEP) should be included in the contract.

Ok, so it’s essential to get the BIM scope included in the project contract, but this might be difficult since the scope is always changing.

In fact, 94 percent of AEC professionals from the same group, also shared that the BEP should also be a living document.

But how can you accomplish both of these? 🤔

Watch the video below to learn how to create project contracts in minutes and keep them living breathing documents!

We also finish with a bonus tip to show how you can automate the workflow to move this data into apps like Procore and PowerBI!
