Collaboration is coming to the building industry. It’s a monumental shift that promises speed and efficiency. A shared building model which digitally captures ALL project information and makes it available to the entire project team throughout the lifecycle of the building is widely seen as the Next Big Thing in design and construction. The one who controls the project information will be at the center of the building enterprise. SkyBIM is a cloud-based platform to host all the information collected throughout a building's lifecycle to optimise the way buildings are designed, costed, constructed, and managed. Since projects are securely hosted in the cloud, multiple members of the project team can simultaneously collaborate on an estimate. Whether you are the architect, estimator, contractor or owner - you can view a project’s latest takeoff quantities, edit product costs, create construction assemblies and print reports. SkyBIM can provide massive automation in the real-time management and cost estimating of chain stores. Once we have configured and costed one store, the rest are essentially automatic. If you are involved with Revit projects that are chain-store based (Subway, Chipotle, Starbucks, WalMart, Woolworths, McDonald's, etc) or have a high degree of repetition, please contact [email protected]

Traditional Bill of Quantities isan Abstraction of the BIM model BOQ has NO direct relationship to Building Information Model Where are the products/materials located in the model?SkyBIM knows 10. What is SkyBIM? 11. What is SkyBIM? SkyBIM is a cloud-based platform to store ALL the information collected throughout the buildings lifecycle to optimise the way buildings are designed, costed, Real-world products constructed, and managed. Construction methods Estimated Costs Actual Costs Manufacturer Info Warranties SkyBIM is the Matrix for Buildings Maintenance records Specifications Documents Photos Radio Frequency IDs 12. SkyBIM is Unique SkyBIM provides a unique Cloud-based BIMplatform that offers a live bi-directionalexchange between real-world product dataand BIM model elements. SkyBIM has what we consider the bestcommon data platform by which all otherphases of construction can build data upon. 13. CAD versus BIM 14. CAD versus BIMComputer Aided DesignBuilding Information Modeling Primarily 2D 2D 3D 4D 5D 6D & beyond Dumb graphics Intelligent objects Lines, arcs, circles Walls, windows, floors, roofs AutoCAD Revit 15. BIM as Lego 16. Think of BIM as intelligent Lego BIM elements are fully parametricLego blocks Lego blocks are [PLACEHOLDERS]for real-world product data All Lego blocks must be accountedfor - otherwise model is incomplete 17. All Lego blocks accounted for? Model is complete (No blocks missing) 18. Imagine Lego blocks that can store unlimited building lifecycle data SkyBIM = Document Management System for Buildings BIM elements can be used as Smart Folders for unlimited data storageSelect the BIM element to access its associated:Real-world products Construction methodsEstimated Costs Actual CostsManufacturer InfoWarranties Maintenance records SpecificationsDocuments Photos Radio Frequency IDs 19.

SkyBIM and DWF Like PDFs only much smarter Export 2D/3D DWFs to shareDetailPlanSectionRevit 3D 29. SkyBIM and DWFs DWF elements talk to SkyBIM (no need for Revit Model) 1. Select element in DWF file for example, a wall in section 2. SkyBIM highlights the wall and its recipe in the cost report 30.

Implementing SkyBIM 34. Implementing SkyBIM As easy asSkyBIM best practice1. Set up your companys Revit library2. Plug-in (Front load) SkyBIM product recipes3. Audit model to ensure take-off accuracy 35. Implementing SkyBIM1. Set up your companys Revit library This is a standard Revit requirement Create Revit Lego blocks that your projects require Apply suitable naming conventions (use common sense, be descriptive) No need to over model Revit Lego blocks are simply [PLACEHOLDERS] for real-world products 36. Implementing SkyBIM 2.
