Autodesk Bim 360

I used Bim360 as a user on a few projects. This helps us to share our BIM models and drawings to shareholders, review them, and get the thing in right without any clashes prior to carrying it out on-site. We use BIM360 extensively for our coordination work between our subcontractors. We had our modeling departments resolve conflicts between trades and then by building off the models that we access in the field using BIM360. Bim360 is well suited for hosting drawings and sharing normal-sized files with people. This software allows us to quickly find problems and resolve the issues.

Autodesk BIM 360 is used to access documents and submittals for the purpose of LEED consulting by our organization. Typically the construction manager will invite us to the project in order for us to review relevant documentation. Occasionally we will need to surf the entire site to find relevant information, but ideally we are searching within one folder labeled as "LEED" for the submittals and then search for other necessary info under the schedule and specs folders.

I use Bim360 as a user on projects. The general contractors/architects provide the drawings for us to use on the PC in the office and tablets in the field. It allows us to detect clashes with our designs as an MEP subcontractor. This type of coordination then makes its way to the field for their use to further coordinate the installation.

At our company BIM 360 Document Management is being used for three primary functions:

• Contract Documents - This is the location where subcontractors go to get the posted set of RFIs that have been vetted by our team and are to be proceeded on. This is how we manage the information that subcontractors should see vs. not see.
• Reference Documents - Any additional as-builts, misc. documents or things we want to share with the subs, no more Engyte/Dropbox needed.
• BIM information - Turns out BIM 360 Docs is great for the work-sharing of Revit files. AutoCAD does not seem to be stable especially with Xrefs. Cant wait to see this get consolidated with the GLUE file platform.

Bim360 is being used primarily as the cloud storage location and method of collaboration for all of our Autodesk Revit models. It is also being used for project coordination and CA on select projects.

Our company uses Bim360 to create 3D digital models of project to coordinate work and ensure that everything functions as a holistic system. The software allows us to quickly find problems and resolve the issues. It is also an excellent way to share information in an easy to understand visual representation with clients.

We are currently using it for active design projects within one of our offices. The main issue BIM360 is addressing for us is the ability to have live updates between files. The communicator feature gives us the ability to monitor who is in a file and what activity they are accomplishing. Some of the other features allow for non-Revit users to review and comment on documents during the design process as well.

COFICO has been using Bim360 for most of their live projects. At the moment, we are running Bim360 Docs and Bim360 Field for 2 building projects, which is getting more and more benefits from one of the most useful CDE platforms. Bim360 is used by project team members. This helps us to share our BIM models and drawings to shareholders, review, and get the thing in right without any clashes prior to carry out on-site. Besides, with Bim360360 Field, we can improve our quality control system by changing to a digital solution with quick accessibility and huge data storage, which is great to reduce paperwork on a checklist, issue items, etc.

Safety on-site is managed better with Bim360 Field, particularly in collaborating all sub-contractors in site condition issues, safety requirement, safety root causes... From that recorded data every day, the company/project safety system will be definitely improved. Eventually, Bim360 could save us time and money, because it helps to improve the coordination and communication on the field, and it lets us see the issues and problems before they get more expensive for us to pay.

This program is being used in a few different aspects of the company. Areas where we used BIM360 was first on the web platform where we would store drawings, inspections and observations for each job. This would allow us to house the most up-to-date drawings, overlay new drawings when they were issued and record QA/QC that could be directly associated with the drawings. We would also use the web for a directory of everyone on the job to help with communication purposes. Additionally, the app would come into play when we were doing safety audits, the follow up from those audits and looking at drawings in the field. Being able to access the drawings in the field helped with more than just construction. We would incorporate Punchlist, where we could mark up exact locations with attached pictures to show previous conditions vs final conditions. We would also incorporate some phasing and logistical plans that could be shown in the field, updated and modified. Overall, it helped address coordination and communication between the field, ownership and contractor.

We use BIM360 extensively for our coordination work between our subcontractors. We have our modeling departments resolve conflicts between trades and then by building off the models that we access in the field using BIM360. This helps us to get everything in right and without any conflicts the first time and it saves us bundles of time in our schedule. We also use BIM360 for our quality control particularly during the constructions progress to cut down on the amount of punch list items that would need to be addressed at the end of the project.This saves us time and money as we are often able to catch issues early on before the small problems grow into the big expensive ones.
