COLLECTUS: an OWNERS DATA STANDARD
Today, handover is costly and inefficient. In this video we’ll explain how an alternative workflow can reduce handover costs by 5x times, allowing owners to begin building operations within weeks, not months and gain long-term sustainable benefits, all while using existing tools for operations.
At handover, AEC teams know everything about the building. They can locate every room, every system, every asset and the data behind it. However, each team works in their own BIM silo, using their own data standards, with no common data language.
So at handover, owners are thrown into a data recovery project, that takes an average of 6-18 months, and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars just to begin operations. We call this the “BIM Cleanup Tax”.
What if Owners could harvest the AEC BIMs directly into operations, dramatically reducing that time and cost? This workflow can be accomplished by implementing an Owners Data Standard, used by all. That’s why we created Collectus.
Collectus is an Owner’s Data Standard and workflow, that is used by all AEC teams and facility stakeholders, from pre-design through operations. Collectus Defines, Distributes, Manages, and Validates the Owner’s Data Standard, across the project lifecycle, ensuring AEC teams deliver data-rich BIMs at handover.
These same BIMs become the foundation for operational data, enabling seamless Harvesting into the owner’s existing tools for building operations. To put it simply, it’s a common data language for all, that results in no time wasted in translation.
So instead of paying the BIM Cleanup Tax, pay 5 times less at handover using Collectus, begin building operations within weeks of handover, keep the tools you’re using, and enjoy these added benefits for the life of the building.
10-30% Faster Emergency Response

As award winning Revit BIM consultants to the AEC and Owners Market since 2002. we’ve seen firsthand how projects are designed for delivery, not for long-term operations. And we believe it’s time to design systems for owners from the start, making operational data the priority from day one.
