SkyBIM (www.skybim.com) has developed a powerful 'Design-Cost-Build-Manage' BIM platform that can significantly accelerate the roll-out of similar projects by using multidisciplinary, fully costed BIM prototypes. The beauty of SkyBIM is that all important building data is cloud hosted and can be accessed and queried by all project stakeholders - anywhere, anytime - even across multiple projects.
- Cost estimates are real-time and generated at the click of a button.
- Owner receives 'digital doubles' of projects for asset tracking & facilities management.
- Collab, our real-time collaboration tool, allow users to attach real-time information (messages, scheduled reminders, barcoding, status updates, checklists, files, photos, markups, etc) to BIM objects in any context.
- SkyBIM incorporates classification standards such as UniFormat, MasterFormat & OmniClass.
As simple as Lego
Many Revit users tend to overmodel. SkyBIM's approach is to treat BIM elements as PLACEHOLDERS for REAL-WORLD PRODUCT RECIPES. This is much easier and way more flexible. Furthermore recipes are learnt across projects which means costing becomes progressively quicker with each successive project.
2. CAD versus BIM
Computer Aided Design
• Primarily 2D
• Dumb graphics
(lines, arcs, circles, polylines)
• Electronic drafting
• Basic measuring
• AutoCAD
Building Information Modeling
time
cost
lifecycle green
• 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D & beyond
• Intelligent objects
(walls, floors, doors, windows, columns)
• Virtual construction
• ‘One-click’ bill of quantities
• Revit

3. BIM is a Steamroller
Worldwide, the foundations for a digital
construction future are now being put in place
UK government has mandated their requirement for fully
collaborative 3D BIM as a minimum by 2016
