Collectus: The Owner Defined Digital Delivery System
Collectus provides facility owners with an Owner Defined Digital Delivery System that ensures the information created during planning, design, and construction is delivered in a form that directly supports operations. Through the DDMV workflow — Define, Distribute, Manage, and Validate — owners establish a clear, authoritative data structure that specifies what information must be delivered, how it must be structured, and how it will be used across the facility lifecycle. This system allows owners to distribute a consistent digital delivery standard to all AEC teams, aligning every consultant to the same operational data expectations while leveraging established industry standards such as CSI and COBie.
By managing this digital delivery system across projects and validating BIM deliverables before handover, Collectus ensures that owners receive Data-Rich BIMs that are complete, reliable, and ready for use on day one of operations. Instead of inheriting fragmented models and spending months rebuilding information, owners harvest the data-rich BIMs directly into facility operations using their FM, CMMS, GIS, Digital Twins, and future AI platforms with trusted data. The result is a scalable, living digital delivery system defined by the owner — not by software or AEC BIM teams — that supports long-term operations, risk reduction, and smarter decision-making across the entire facility portfolio.
THREE REASONS Why Facility Owners TRUST Collectus
1. 23 Years of Proven BIM Expertise
CDV Systems has over two decades of BIM Award Winning consulting experience, creating BIM library standards and best practice Revit workflows for some of the largest and most sophisticated AEC firms in the world — including AECOM, CANNON DESIGN, HOK, NBBJ, and Denver International Airport. Collectus is built on this foundation of global best practices and real-world project success.
2. A Complete BIM Standards Library for Owners
Collectus gives Owners the ability to provide their entire AEC BIM teams full access to this comprehensive, 36,000-component BIM library and BIM Execution Plan at no added cost. This library embeds CDV’s proven best practice workflows from 23 years of consulting, ensuring consistency and quality across all disciplines. Uniquely, Collectus also integrates a Data Execution Plan (DEP) with Levels of Data Information - LODi Standards, something not found anywhere else in the AEC industry. This ensures that every BIM deliverable includes the parameters and data structure that matter for operations.
3. Harvest-Ready Digital Twin Data
With Collectus, Owners can validate BIM deliverables at every stage — design, documentation, construction, and construction administration — ensuring the model is truly data-rich and complete at handover. Instead of receiving BIMs that sit on the shelf while operations default back to DWGs, PDFs, and Excel sheets, Collectus ensures a Data-Rich BIM deliverable that is immediately harvestable into a cloud-based, map-driven digital twin (Cloud BIM). This provides Owners with a live, structured, and operational dataset from day one.
In Summary
CDV’s 23 years of consulting built the foundation.
Collectus is the culmination of that expertise in one standards-driven BIM library with embedded LODi.
Owners finally benefit from BIM deliverables — not shelved files — but usable, validated data for digital twins and long-term operations.
👉 With Collectus, Owners can stop wasting the potential of BIM and start using it as the backbone of their operations.
Collectus standardizes new BIMs and legacy data for smarter operations, digital twins, and AI-ready information.
