Building Information Modelling
What is BIM? It is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.

Building Information Modelling
What is BIM? It is more than just changing software. It requires changes to traditional phases and more data sharing BIM is able to achieve such improvements by modeling representations of the actual parts and pieces being used to build a building. This is a substantial shift from the traditional CAD method. An important word in the BIM world is
Interoperability
For BIM to work, different software has to be able to work together, to facilitate this the IFC open specification has been produced.

Synchro
Synchro Professional Synchro Professional provides Complete StandStand-Alone 4D Construction Simulation and project scheduling for comprehensive virtual construction simulation.
Synchro Express Viewer Synchro Express is our 4D Construction Simulation Viewer and is designed to provide a strong visual sense of what, when and where work is happening.
Synchro Server Synchro Server (Server5, Server10, and Server) is an IPIP-based 4D Construction Simulation Model Server, Server which ensures the fast real time communication of changes and updates to the model for each connected user, while managing version control for all users of the single master project model.
Synchro Workgroup Synchro Workgroup is our Complete Network Client 4D Construction Simulation in the Client/Server setup. Workgroup is designed to match the capabilities of the Professional version when it is connected to the Synchro Server.
