Introduction

The birth of Building Information Modelling (BIM), an innovative tool in construction industry has brought about significant changes never witnessed before. The reason why BIM is not just limited to 3D modeling is because it provides a digital model in totality which covers building’s physical elements as well as its functionalities within it.It extends beyond simply creating visualizations using BIM towards the next level of development where it integrates such fields as design, construction and operations across the whole project team including architects, engineers, contractors and other stakeholders. This is where Chronaiv5, a Cloud Technology Solutions company, which is a leader and an innovator comes in. Chronaiv5 has unveiled a series of cloud-based BIM collaboration solutions that would create the best enabling environment for construction teams in order to fully harness the potential of BIM as well as capture the best results from its implementation.Unlocking the Power of BIM: Understanding the Challenge

By using BIM instead of traditional methods there are several advantages; notably better accuracy in designs, less waste during construction and higher productivity levels. However all these benefits can be realized only through effective collaborating process.

Here are some key challenges that traditional approaches to BIM collaboration can present

Fragmented Data and Incompatibility

The user’s BIM software may not be compatible with other vendors’ software hence making data exchange problematic. This hinders cooperation because it leads to fragmented models.

Limited Accessibility

Accessing “actual” changes on models is difficult due to conventional storage procedures for data common to most large projects requiring multiple teams at various sites mostly relying on locally hosted servers or physical storage infrastructure.

Redoing work is required if you create an environment that makes it difficult for you to identify which drawing is which. Also, tracking of differences and controlling them within the model could be problematic.

The first major sign of a communication bottleneck is the breakdown in communication that occurs between project stakeholders. This results into unnecessary delays in the passage of information as inaccurate data has serious effects on performance.

Data involved in local server based project costs may suffer from attacks and hacking. Conventional backup solutions do not always perform well and data restoration using them gets to be very tedious.d-Based BIM Collaboration Platforms.

Thus, Chronaiv5 tackles these issues through employing cloud-based collaboration platforms, thus facilitating more productive collaboration and increasing the value of BIM at the construction stage.

BIM model and any other data related to this project are stored in a secure location through a cloud based platform. In addition, one can get access to the most recent version model and details about the project from anywhere at any given time irrespective of geographical location.

All other platforms from Chronaiv5 are designed around open standards concept capable of implementing interoperability. Moreover, it allows different teams even while using different modeling tools to connect with varied BIM software applications easily.
