Transform your project delivery with BIM

Our BIM coordination features digitally transform your projects by enhancing collaboration, providing real-time data, and enabling comprehensive reviews. This transformation leads to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved project outcomes.

Leverage FusionLive to work seamlessly in the cloud, ensuring a single source of truth for all project participants from design through to construction; and throughout the project, watch your models evolve into a precise digital twin of the as-built asset.

How does FusionLive support BIM?

Our FusionLive solution provides essential support across various stages of the BIM lifecycle:

Enhanced collaboration tools

Facilitates seamless communication and collaboration between project teams to enable efficient decision-making and model coordination, ensures alignment and reduces errors

Integration and data sharing

Benefits from the seamless exchange of information between design software and FusionLive due to our system’s support for open standards such as IFC and BCF

High-end design and visualization

Enables detailed 3D modeling, simulation and model federation, allowing stakeholders to visualize designs and identify potential issues before construction begins

Workflow automation

Streamlines workflows to improve productivity and reduce project timelines via review and approval workflows and comments via the built-in viewers

Efficient project management

Supports better scheduling, cost estimation, and resource allocation through integrated project data and simulations

Lifecycle management

Enables the management of building information throughout its entire lifecycle, aiding facilities management, renovations, and decommissioning

Enhanced compliance and risk management

Ensures regulatory compliance and mitigates project risks through comprehensive tracking, auditing, and reporting capabilities. Rest easy in the knowledge that all model versions and revisions are fully audited

Industry professionals can achieve even greater efficiency by streamlining the design and construction process with FusionLive – all whilst maintaining long-term building management and sustainability efforts.

FusionLive: Our cloud-based CDE

Our secure, cloud-based project collaboration system for complex capital projects, ensuring accuracy of documentation, integrity of workflows, quality control and safety.

Whether you’re managing some of the most complex and critical assets in the world or smaller construction projects, FusionLive scales to meet your needs, helping you handle every aspect of your project easily and responsibly.
