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.

Computer Aided Design
• Primarily 2D
• Dumb graphics

• Electronic drafting
• Basic measuring
• AutoCAD
Building Information Modeling

• 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
*UK Government Construction Strategy 2011
Collab

4. Traditional Design
 ‘Over the wall’ workflow
 Work is sequential & slow
 Silo mentality

7. Collisions between Trades
 Up to 10 percent of the cost of a project is lost because of
rework and avoidable collisions between trades
Collab

8. Complete Design Virtually
 Build entire project virtually before entering the physical space
 Identify cost optimisations
 Detect clashes
Collab

9. Shift Effort Curve left
 Cost of design changes increases over time
