Simplifying BIM Management
Plannerly is a BIM management solution that aims to simplify and streamline the BIM (Building Information Modeling) process.
In a recent discussion, representatives from Plannerly shared insights with the team from apptec.co.jp into how their platform can revolutionize BIM management by addressing common challenges from multiple angles.
This blog post will further explore the key features of Plannerly and how they can enhance your BIM management processes!
Introducing Plannerly
Plannerly is an online platform that offers three main modules: Docs, Scope, and Verify (and a CDE - Common Data Environment).
These modules enable users to collaborate, plan, and verify BIM requirements in a dynamic and efficient manner.
The Plannerly team consists of former BIM Managers who have experienced the challenges of traditional BIM management firsthand.
Their platform aims to address these challenges and improve communication, collaboration, and overall project efficiency.
The Docs Module: Enhancing BIM Execution Plans
The Docs module in Plannerly focuses on the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), which outlines project goals, targets, and processes for BIM implementation.
Traditionally, creating a BEP involved compiling a lengthy document that was often ignored or misunderstood by project stakeholders.
With Plannerly, the BEP is transformed into an online, dynamic environment where all participants can collaborate and provide feedback on the plan in real-time.
This collaborative approach ensures transparency, effective communication, and increased adherence to the agreed-upon goals.
Automated features in the Docs module help manage the large amount of unstructured data typically associated with BIM projects.
Plannerly's platform breaks down information into smaller, more manageable chunks, making it easier to digest and process.
The Scope Module: Visualizing BIM Responsibilities
The Scope module in Plannerly focuses on defining and visualizing the BIM responsibilities and requirements for different project stakeholders.
Using a matrix, this module represents different BIM objectives and building components, allowing project teams to identify who is responsible for each task and track progress.
The visual nature of the Scope module simplifies the understanding of complex information, even for those not well-versed in BIM.
The matrix displays geometric requirements for each component and highlights the information that needs to be attached to each element.
By clearly defining responsibilities and fostering collaboration, teams can ensure that BIM requirements are met consistently and effectively.
The Verify Module: Automating Model Quality Checks
The Verify module in Plannerly enables automated model quality checks, assessing whether models meet the defined requirements.
The module focuses on both geometry and information attached to the models.
While geometry is crucial for clash detection and quantification, Plannerly emphasizes the equally important task of attaching relevant information to models for various use cases, from design to operation and maintenance.
By linking models to the set of requirements created in the other modules, Plannerly's Verify module automatically checks whether the models fulfill the necessary information requirements.
This automated quality check streamlines the review process and reduces communication and coordination efforts between project stakeholders.
Additionally, Plannerly allows for role-based access and collaboration, empowering designers and other team members to perform their own quality checks and make necessary adjustments without involving the receiving party.
This saves time and ensures that models are of high quality from the start.
Getting Teams to Sign Off on Requirements
One of the challenges in BIM management is getting teams to sign off on requirements and adhere to agreed-upon standards.
Traditionally, signing contracts and creating BIM deliverables was a complex and time-consuming process.
With Plannerly, teams can easily define and share responsibilities and requirements using the Scope module.
By creating responsibility matrices targeted at specific teams, the execution plan and contractual requirements can align seamlessly.
This simplifies the sign-off process and improves understanding and compliance across the project team.
Plannerly's Global Reach
Plannerly is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide, with users from over 100 countries and localized versions available in more than 20 languages.
The platform has attracted over 60,000 teams who appreciate its ability to simplify BIM management processes and promote collaboration.
Plannerly has worked closely with global communities to develop ISO 19650 templates, which are crucial for adhering to international BIM standards.
These ISO 19650 templates are available in multiple languages, including Japanese, enabling a smooth and standardized approach to BIM management.
Getting Started
Plannerly offers a comprehensive solution for BIM management, addressing the challenges faced by BIM teams worldwide.
Through its Docs, Scope, and Verify modules, Plannerly facilitates collaboration, transparency, and automation in the BIM execution process.
By utilizing Plannerly's platform, teams can simplify the creation of BIM execution plans, manage BIM responsibilities effectively, automate model quality checks, and ensure compliance with international BIM standards such as ISO 19650.
With Plannerly's focus on simplicity, collaboration, and standardization, BIM teams can streamline their processes, improve communication, and achieve higher efficiency in managing BIM projects.
