BIM 360 Collaboration is a cloud-based platform developed by Autodesk that facilitates collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders in the construction industry. It is designed to improve project management, data sharing, and collaboration throughout the building lifecycle, from design to construction and beyond.
This collaboration allows projects to be outsourced and offshored to different locations, allowing work to be managed smoothly and using different manhour cost and geography to your advantage as well as scaling your project team size smoothly. SJSGlobal have successfully executed several projects through BIM360 Collaboration covering all LODs
For those who are new to BIM360, we wrote to this Blog post to demonstrate Here’s how BIM 360 Collaboration works:
1.Project Setup:
A project administrator sets up the project on the BIM 360 platform. They define the project’s structure, including the organization of files, folders, and user access permissions.
2.Cloud-Based Storage:
BIM 360 provides cloud-based storage for project-related files, including Building Information Modeling (BIM) models, documents, drawings, and other project data. This data is accessible to authorized project members from anywhere with an internet connection.
3.User Access Control:
The project administrator defines roles and permissions for different project members, granting them access to specific folders or files based on their roles and responsibilities.
4.BIM Model Sharing:
BIM 360 Collaboration allows users to share 3D BIM models with other project stakeholders. They can upload, update, and view these models in real-time. This ensures that everyone is working with the most up-to-date information.
5.Version Control:
The platform manages version control, so users can track changes, view historical versions, and understand the evolution of project models and documents.
6.Design Collaboration:
BIM 360 Collaboration provides tools for design collaboration and coordination among multiple disciplines. Teams can work on their specific components or aspects of the project and collaborate on clash detection and resolution.
7.Document Management:
Project documents, such as drawings, specifications, and other project-related files, can be stored, accessed, and reviewed within the platform. This centralizes project documentation and helps ensure everyone is working from the same set of documents.
8.Communication and Markups:
BIM 360 Collaboration includes communication tools for teams to discuss project-related issues, make comments, and mark up documents and models. This feature improves collaboration and issue tracking.
9.Mobile Access:
The platform offers mobile apps, allowing field personnel to access project information, documents, and BIM models directly from construction sites using smartphones or tablets
10.Integration with Other Tools:
BIM 360 Collaboration can integrate with other software and tools commonly used in the construction industry, such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks, enhancing interoperability
11.Project Analytics:
Users can access project analytics and reporting to gain insights into project performance, such as the status of design tasks, issue resolution, and project timelines
12.Data Security and Compliance:
Autodesk takes data security seriously, and BIM 360 Collaboration provides data encryption, access controls, and compliance with industry standards to protect project data.
BIM 360 Collaboration streamlines the collaboration process by providing a centralized platform for project data and fostering real-time communication and coordination among project stakeholders. This helps improve efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance the overall quality of construction projects.
