COLLECTUS FOR ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS
Collectus is a cloud-based BIM Standards library package for architects, engineers, and contractors that includes an Integrated BIM Execution Plan (BEP) within Revit. It provides a comprehensive library of over 36,000+ online components, defining project modeling and parameter data requirements, team coordination requirements, and BIM deliverable requirements. Firms currently using our Collectus content include:
Collectus is the first commercially available BEP tied directly to a multi-trade Revit library, offering AEC firms ready-to-use, office-wide BIM Standards. Existing BIM office standards can be included and managed in the same Collectus cloud. It saves time and ensures BIM consistency across all projects while dramatically reducing non-billable time on BIM management with an ROI of 3 to 4 months.
The editable BEP defines project-specific BIM deliverables and can be accessed by all team members at any phase of the project. Collectus represents CDV System’s best BIM practice workflow solutions from their 20+ years of Revit consulting services. It includes Revit schedules for content, an Audit feature to flag and locate non-compliant content and online user manuals and videos.
Collectus is a cloud-based management tool that can be accessed from anywhere and reduces time spent on BIM management. It is integrated with CSI's Crosswalk for automatic conversion of Masterformat, Uniformat and OmniClass classification parameter data. Technical support is provided with a 24-hour response time.
