Why Facility Owners Need Collectus
Collectus delivers data-rich BIMs that can instantly be harvested into a digital twin - enabling AI-driven, cost-effective operations from day one.
BIM is more than a design and construction tool — it’s a critical data source for facility owners. Yet too often, owners receive models that are incomplete, inconsistent, or unusable for harvesting into operations.
Collectus changes that!
With Collectus, facility owners can give their entire AEC BIM teams full access to the Collectus library, BIM Execution Plan (BEP), and LODi data standards — at no added cost. This ensures everyone is working from the same playbook from design through handover.
Collectus provides owners with a structured, simple way to Define their BIM requirements, Provide those standards to all AEC BIM teams, and Validate the delivered models. This ensures the information is complete, standardized, and ready for seamless integration into facility management systems, digital twins, or GIS platforms.
BIM isn’t a facility management tool. It’s the data source for harvesting into a digital twin
Too often, owners expect BIM to manage their facility — but it’s not designed for that. BIM is the starting point: a structured source of asset, room, and system data that owners can harvest to build a map-based digital twin for operations and long-term management.
And it’s not just for new projects
The Collectus data structure also provides a unified framework for organizing and standardizing the owner’s existing building data portfolio. This allows both new BIMs and legacy data to be harvested, structured, and integrated for smarter operations and AI-ready digital twins.
What Collectus Delivers for Facility Owners
Collectus is a comprehensive BIM solution designed specifically for facility owners who want to harvest and utilize room, asset, and system data from AEC BIM models — creating a structured, digital twin-ready data environment.
It addresses the common challenges owners face with inconsistent, incomplete, or unusable BIM deliverables by providing a turnkey solution that includes:
✅ 36,000+ Standardized Revit Families: All named using CSI’s MasterFormat 6-digit classification, ensuring every component is consistently categorized for asset management and operations.
✅ Integrated BIM Execution Plan (BEP) & Data Execution Plan (DEP): Embedded within Collectus, these plans guide AEC teams on required model content, parameters, and deliverables, eliminating the need for owners to develop their own Revit BIM standards.
✅ Pre-Built LODi Schedules for Data Validation: Allow owners to define, provide, and easily validate data at every project phase - LODi 300 (Design), LODi 400 (Construction), and LODi 500 (Operations) — with no BIM expertise required.
✅ Integrated CSI Crosswalk Translator: MasterFormat codes automatically translate inside the Revit model into OmniClass and UniFormat, simplifying downstream integration with FM systems, GIS platforms, and digital twins.
✅ Full Access for AEC BIM Teams at No Added Cost: Owners can give their entire project team access to the Collectus library, BEP, and LODi tools, ensuring that all AEC consultants deliver data-rich models aligned with owner requirements.
✅ Harvest-Ready Data at Handover: Structured, validated BIM data is immediately usable for operations, maintenance, asset management, and digital twin integration, streamlining the transition from construction to operations.
✅ Reduced Risk & Lifecycle Costs: By controlling the data flow from design through handover, owners avoid costly rework, manual data entry, and operational inefficiencies.
Collectus standardizes new BIMs and legacy data for smarter operations, digital twins, and AI-ready information.
