SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 13, 2017 - PRLog -- HoloBuilder Inc., the leading provider of digital construction sites for general contractors and owners, is proud to announce a new partnership with Autodesk, the leader in 3D design, engineering and construction software. The partnership allows customers to seamlessly move between Autodesk's BIM 360 construction management platform and HoloBuilder's Construction Solution. This closes the gap between the workflow for 360 reality capturing and virtual walkthroughs as well as document and issue management. The partnership is based on the commitment of both companies to serve professionals in the field and in the office to accelerate delivery, save money and reduce risk. The cross-platform integration is implemented utilizing Autodesk Forge technology. The announcement was made at Autodesk University, the company's flagship user conference in Las Vegas, which welcomes more than 10,000 Autodesk customers annually.
The integration allows users to add issues to the BIM 360 platform from within their HoloBuilder project. The connection between immersive 360-degree construction documentation and issue management also allows users to virtually walk the construction site and create issues at the same time, without ever needing to leave their desks. Created issues are also linked to their position within HoloBuilder's documentation so that users can easily find the affected area and understand the context.
HoloBuilder's integration with BIM 360 eliminates data silos. Users can add documents, like sheets and floor plans, from BIM 360 to the HoloBuilder environment. This ensures that any documents used within HoloBuilder are always up to date. Further functionality which allows customers to link additional information between BIM 360 and HoloBuilder will be released shortly.
"I am excited for this partnership as it allows us to connect and streamline construction project workflows," Mostafa Akbari, CEO of HoloBuilder. "We have built HoloBuilder from the ground up to save time for our construction customers around the world when capturing reality and sharing this with stakeholders. As we now provide access and a connection to the BIM 360 construction management platform, this eliminates duplicate work and interruptions in the overall workflow, resulting in further efficiency gains."
"We are thrilled to have HoloBuilder, a leader in 360-degree reality capture, serve as an inaugural member of the Connect & Construct Exchange," said Sarah Hodges, Director of Autodesk's Construction Business Line. "HoloBuilder's seamless integration with Autodesk's BIM 360 construction management platform is another example of how partnerships like these will make construction safer, simpler, and smarter."
