Extended Collaboration Enabled by BIM Level 3
An Extended Collaboration model synchronizes productive interactions between designers, suppliers, and builders.
Extended Collaboration proactively addresses errors and omissions, reduces rework, enables predictive process simulations to reduce risk, resolves issues in real-time to drastically reduce RFIs, and improves quality and safety.
Extended Collaboration improves project outcomes.
Innovative projects delivered by industry-leading design and construction teams have shown that collaboratively planning a building’s structural, façade, HVAC, electric, and interior systems can provide significant productivity gains over siloed processes, which depend on RFIs to reconcile issues.
