Next to a great many benefits, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has also introduced new challenges for the design team. BIM models contain significantly more data and with much tighter integration than traditional 2D CAD drawings. As a result access by teams to projects now contain bottlenecks not known in earlier CAD design methods. Traditional work sharing, by assigning standalone CAD files to individual team members, does not work in case of model-based design since the entire project is incorporated within the BIM model therefore BIM projects require a completely new method of work sharing. To facilitate teamworking in BIM projects software vendors developed file-based model sharing solutions. Team members worked on copies of the BIM project and synchronization of the work of the team was achieved through merging the different versions of the project files. With BIM becoming mainstream and with the recent focus on accelerating construction project completion the clunky, file-based workflow quickly has become “the bottleneck” to timely project delivery.
This whitepaper aims to analyze the different solutions provided to the above-described problem and offer recommendations about the most important criteria one should be aware of when selecting an optimal design sharing solution for BIM implementation.
