BIM, meet PIM
Building information modeling has much to gain from project information management (PIM) software
The Newforma® Add-in for Autodesk® Revit® enables you to deal with the flood of deliverables generated out of the model. With it, you can more effectively manage and coordinate the information that would otherwise be locked up in the model. The result is enhanced efficiency in project delivery, reduced risk and increased client satisfaction.

Aid in BIM design reviews
Integrated practice means more collaboration from all team members sooner in the design process, but the byproduct is a proliferation of revisions that need to be shared, compared and reviewed by team members who are not always working with the same design authoring tools.
Newforma software makes it easy to take snapshots of model views and capture the resulting markup sessions for easy tracking, review and sharing.

 “As design changes get easier, the volume of markups is going up. How can I track who made what change and why?” |
Newforma software automatically logs and tracks markup sessions for CAD drawings or BIM model views. Newforma Compare functionality further supports quality assurance by showing that all changes have been made.
|
Document management systems burden the user with check-in and check-out procedures to document changes. Also, they do not assure that all relevant changes have been made.
|
Extranets do not address the internal design review process that precedes publication of documents to the external team.
|
SharePoint requires extensive customization, adding time and expense to deployment and maintenance.

The new world of BIM – supporting digital workflows for model-based design
A recorded webinar that illustrates how project information management software facilitates BIM
BIM technology gives architecture, engineering and construction firms the means to coordinate and document building designs. But what about all the unstructured project communications and adjunct decision-making processes that surround the model as it evolves over the duration of the project?
PIM technology is the complementary solution to BIM. It manages the information and communications around the model. It supports collaboration, accountability and trust – both inside the firm and between external team members.
Newforma invites you to view a webinar recording that illustrates how PIM technology faciliates model-based design. The webinar lasts one hour. Registration is required, but there is no fee.
