January 31 2011, Portsmouth, RI - CodeBook International has released version 10 of its CodeBook platform, its toolset that boosts the value of building information modeling (BIM) software applications. The updated application now supports SQL Server database tools.

CodeBook manages information from project inception through to facilities management after project completion. Working with industry standard CAD and BIM tools, CodeBook links to models, shares data and gives detailed reports and validations throughout the design and construction phases of a project. On completion the building owner takes possession of a detailed room information database linked to the 3D building model.

CodeBook V10 adds CAD and BIM support for ArchiCAD 15, AutoCad Architecture 2011 and 2012, Bentley Architecture V8i, MicroGDS 2011, Revit Architecture 2011 and 2012, and Revit MEP 2011 and 2012. It also supports Word and Excel 2007 for reporting purposes; Windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit operating systems are both supported, and CodeBook V10 also offers SQL Server as a database option.

“Of all the new capabilities, we are most excited about the SQL Server option,” says Peter Mann, founder and CEO of CodeBook International.

“CodeBook has been used by thousands of industry professionals to capture data about complex buildings using Microsoft Access. By adding SQL Server support, we are taking the product to a new level, opening up the potential for simultaneous, multi-user access to shared BIM information during program, design, construction and handover processes.”

“Our product roadmap for 2012 includes further enhancements to make CodeBook genuinely enterprise-class, and to support more distributed team-working. Web support for data entry and reporting, and better facilities management tools will extend CodeBook's value for designers, contractors and building owners and operators alike.”

“This newest release of CodeBook V10 has additional features specifically for BIM users,” says Cyril Verley, President and founder of CDV Systems, the CodeBook distributor for North America:

“As furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) families are placed into Revit using CodeBook, V10 allows the user to 'preset' the workset into which the family is placed as well as 'reset' the workset for families already placed. Users can also create their own 'custom' CodeBook reports using the new V10 'Flex Report' feature.”
