by Brianna Crandall — July 29, 2016 — Invicara, provider of transformative solutions for building information modeling (BIM), recently announced the release of BIM Assure collaborative cloud solution designed to unlock BIM data and help the entire project team streamline BIM data management and transform project handover. BIM Assure’s intelligent rules help users to quickly identify and resolve issues to improve BIM quality and then sync the corrections back to the source model.
In addition, because it is cloud-based and easy to use, BIM Assure provides a common BIM environment that lets architects, engineers, contractors, and owners (AECO) share models and manage data, creating new opportunities to streamline design and construction workflows and improve project delivery.
Anand Mecheri, CEO and founder of Invicara, said:
Design, construction and operations of buildings will be reshaped by the industrialization and automation of construction through the adoption of digital technologies and processes. BIM Assure will help the industry leverage information in BIM models for data-driven workflows in all phases of the projects development.
BIM Assure is designed to provide validated, rich building information throughout the project lifecycle. Designers can use the product to provide better construction documentation, contractors can ensure models can support accurate model-based estimating and quantity takeoff (QTO), and owners can use BIM Assure to manage handover data throughout design and construction.
BIM Assure and owner handover
BIM Assure can help transform project handover, says Invicara. Today, most owner handover processes begin at the end of a project. By making handover a process managed throughout the project lifecycle with BIM Assure, owners, architects, engineers, and contractors can work together to define data requirements early and gather required data as the project evolves to avoid miscommunication and project delays. In addition, BIM Assure ensures that owners have the necessary BIM data at the end of the project to quickly implement building operations and management systems.
BIM Assure helps owners and project teams:
- Get visibility into equipment data before occupancy to plan maintenance programs;
- Manage space requirements and prepare for occupancy;
- Support capital planning processes with accurate building information;
- Streamline project delivery with better coordination throughout the design and construction phases;
- Avoid costly RFIs, change orders, and rework with better quality information; and
- Reduce costs by assuring use of approved building materials and components.
