Bringing BIM onto the Building Site by Means of the Cloud > ENGINEERING.com

Autodesk’s BIM 360 Field is field management software that gives builders access to critical project data while onsite by means of cloud-connected mobile devices. It can enhance the management of systems and equipment by permitting the collection as well as usage of project data at the point of construction by means of mobile smart devices such as iPads. This data can include photos, operating and maintenance manuals, models and manufacturer cut sheets.

Not only does this form of mobile access save time and reduce rework, it also dramatically reduces the incidence of mishaps and errors and streamlines commissioning and handover.

The software can further improve project quality via the provision of user-friendly, customizable templates for tracking progress as well as pushpin markers for highlighting the precise location and nature of any issue that arises. It also enhances safety by providing more standardized, accurate and auditable procedures for the education of work teams and the management of jobsites.
