COLLECTUS FOR FACILITY OWNERS
Collectus provides a clear solution on how to introduce BIM to a facility which is new to Revit or to a facility that is overwhelmed with trying to maintain a Revit standard.
CDV Systems and 26 Degrees Software (makers of ViewAQC) are the makers of Collectus: a remote BIM Management product providing the Facility Owner a complete & fully functioning, ready to use, cloud based, 34,000+ components (to date) Revit Standards library package for all disciplines that defines the Facility Owner’s overall BIM standard requirements, model deliverables and best practice workflows. Facility Owners can then allow their AEC Consultant teams access to these online BIM standards for their project design and documentation modeling needs at no additional charge. As a fully coordinated shared parameter schema across all model disciplines, Collectus alleviates the need for Facility Owners to create, manage and maintain their own Revit BIM Standards.
Representing the culmination of 18 years of CDV Systems’ Revit consulting services to the AEC/O markets world-wide, Collectus is not just a BIM library. Designed for ease of use, minimizing model complexity, and maximizing parameter data structure, Collectus is a set of best BIM practice workflow solutions that synthesize modeled components, visibility settings, shared parameters, and Revit schedules.
Collectus provides two separate model review workflows allowing the Facility Owner to check all issued models for delivery compliance and use of the model room and asset data for their downstream FM & GIS needs. The first model review workflow is a multi-category, Audit feature to “flag & locate” all non-compliant asset and annotation content per Revit model. The second are Revit schedules for all disciplines to ensure AEC models and parameter data are in compliance.
Here are some Collectus highlights
Collectus can now represent a Facility Owner’s cloud-based, complete and ready to use Revit standards package, which is fully documented, easy to learn and has a minimal learning curve.
Collectus represents the culmination of CDV Systems’ 18 years of BIM consulting services provided to AEC firms and Facility Owners world-wide.
Facility Owners using Collectus can allow their AEC Consulting teams full access to these BIM workflows & standards to model and deliver the Facility Owner’s design, construction, and as-built Revit project models with no added costs.
Collectus is designed using project tested, best practice BIM workflows providing a consistent model and parameter data structure schema across all trades.
The final delivered models built by the AEC teams are designed for a Facility Owner’s smooth transition from BIM to FM & GIS for the rooms and asset data.
Collectus to date includes 34,000+ architectural, FF+E, structural, MEP and landscape architectural Revit components for imperial and metric projects.
Collectus provides the Facility Owner’s AEC consultants Revit workflows designed to be easy to access, easy to use, and easy to validate.
Collectus includes an “Audit” feature the Facility Owner can use to validate each received Revit model to ensure accountability of required deliverables.
As a remote BIM management service, Collectus allows the Facility Owner’s Revit staff to spend less time on BIM management and more time on BIM project needs.
All Revit content in this package is based on the CSI’s (Construction Specifications Institute) Masterformat specification classification. Collectus is integrated with CSI’s Crosswalk to automatically convert the MasterFormat classification parameter data into UniFormat and OmniClass classification parameter data. Read more…
