- 9. info@xbim.net So what does xbim do? BIM files from design tools. E.g. • Autodesk Revit • Tekla, Bentley etc • Specialist Engineering tools Data 3D / wexbim Flex Cloud Platform Dat a 3 D Dat a Data 3 D wexbim Docs ISO OpenBIM Standards (IFC, COBie, BCF) Open source software library for IFC, COBie etc. Used by software developers Collaborative, cloud- based OpenBIM Platform and OpenAPI Useful BIM data A BIM “Data warehouse”
- 10. info@xbim.net Benefits of the Flex Platform • 100% based on OpenBIM, IFC • Transforms BIM files into a writable “database” • Highly scalable ‘serverless’ model processing • Powerful querying and data interrogation • Estate/Portfolio data-model • Simple and quick to develop services • Multi-user, multi-tenant • Sophisticated role-based access control • Business Process Automation / Workflows • Full control over data sovereignty • Technology agnostic (Open API) • Support and expertise of the xbim Team
- 11. info@xbim.net Which is best for me? Toolkit or Flex? Toolkit is great for: • When complete fine-grained control over the full IFC Schema • Creating new IFC models • Standalone Windows .NET applications/integrations • Short term transactional processing of BIM data Flex is ideally suited to: • Moving BIM applications to “the cloud” (especially Toolkit apps) • Projects with rapid “time to market” needs • Collaborating around large ‘federated’ models • When your software team are not .NET specialists • Overcoming challenges managing BIM Data over a project lifecycle. i.e. AIM/CAFM use cases

- 22. info@xbim.net Coming soon: Net Zero Flow project 1. Develop a Smart Workflow Automation Engine for BIM Processes. Building on the Flex OpenBIM platform this will enable knowledge workers to orchestrate complex validation, augmentation and calculations around BIM data; enabling repeatable digital data flows compliant with ISO19650 processes. 2. Create a micro-service on the Workflow Engine enabling Lifecycle Carbon Assessment calculation & reporting. Extend Circular Ecology’s ICE Embodied Carbon database so that is OpenBIM compatible, product and Net Zero focused. 3. Extend the existing Flex platform to support the interoperability with third-party data sets i.e. Carbon Data, Operational cost data, Manufacturers' data. 4. Extend the open source xbim toolkit to support the new international standards for infrastructure projects (IFC4.3)
- 23. info@xbim.net We’re looking for partners We’re looking for: ● Existing software business or function serving the building industry with BIM needs ● Identifiable clients and projects ● New use cases for Flex Our business model: ● Partner with software businesses and BIM specialists in the sector ● Jointly work with partners to help them build & integrate a viable service ● Provide the Flex Platform on a commercial subscription

Notas do Editor
- This is where we can speak to the audience and out Go- To – Market. Xbim has a partner model where we go to market with and through partners. At the end of the presentation we will tell you more about this, what we look for and next steps. This webinar will most relevant if you are part of a software business/ function who is looking to build new application in the cloud
- What do we offer partners Who we work with (high level)
- Steve Lockley – practising architect, expert in BIM data, creator of open source xbim Toolkit Martin Cerny – software engineer, major author of xbim opensource, geospatial solutions expertise and Standards expert Andy Ward – expert in developing software architecture, especially and cloud-based software; PaaS and SaaS, security expertise

- NB Iceberg demonstrates the point that API takes away the pain – but the graphic needs some work Pretty much every BIM service we see is like an iceberg – you have a valuable innovative use case, but there’s a huge amount of hidden costs and effort to underpin it. [Click] [Click] [Click] That’s where Flex comes in. We provide a fully managed cloud-based building data management platform based on OpenBIM, which is trivial to integrate, so you can focus on the really valuable piece. [Click] As well as all those gnarly features under the water Flex, by turning BIM into data, gives access to a lot more “high value” use cases, including: Portfolio level reporting across projects/assets, Change management, taking BIM data into operation with a full writeable asset model.
- The xbim toolkit is an open-source set of software components used by developers and coders to read, write, visualise and exchange BIM Data using buildingSmart Open BIM formats – namely IFC, COBie, and BCF data. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) in particular is the ISO open standard format for exchanging and storing BIM data. Think of it as the PDF or HTML for BIM. [Click] The xbim toolkit gives full access to the whole IFC data model, enables developers to work with the valuable information and geometry in these formats, and is ideally suited to developers using Microsoft .NET and ‘cloud’ technologies – that are prevalent in our industry. It also provides some free software tools that are used directly by end users who work with BIM data. For example xbim Explorer is a free model viewer. Later I’ll introduce xbim Flex, which is our new cloud-native BIM platform powered by the xbim Toolkit, which transforms how rapidly organisations can integrate and build new collaborative BIM services [NEXT]
