 CDE – Collaborative BIM needs ……

• “Software as a Service”

• Easy/cost effective to roll out beyond

organisational barriers across a diverse supply
chain
• No limits on users
• No need for IT or procurement departments

• Simple to use BIM services that work across browsers and platforms

• No plugins or additional software, firewall

configuration
• Anyone can use it, anywhere

Common Data Environment (CDE)

 Collaborative BIM needs ……

• “Open” collaboration solution

• Agnostic of tool choice

• Using IFC and COBie standards

• Unlocking the data that’s previously been lost /

hidden in the design process
