Trimble's new generation of its ProjectSight cloud-based project controls solution for construction managers and general contractors is a complete web and mobile solution that streamlines the creation, access and sharing of project information between the office and the jobsite.
"The unfortunate fallout from the recent explosion of mobile apps for construction has been the creation of data silos," said Marcel Broekmaat, segment manager of Trimble Buildings' General Contractor / Construction Manager Division. "Today, many contractors are reporting that disparate workflows and communication gaps between teams are creating huge inefficiencies and costly rework; and project managers no longer feel like they have control over projects. With ProjectSight, we are breaking down those data silos by providing a centralized workflow that is easy for all field teams to access, update and share critical project data.
The new ProjectSite genertion includes:
- Advanced markup for both 2D and 3D design files: ProjectSight allows users the ability to add field notes, annotations, comments and conversations to any 2D drawing and 3D file and automatically embeds the project control data in context of models and plans making it easy to update, reference and access while in the field.
- Collaboration: The new collaboration method allows multiple team members to contribute as they would with standard text messaging, but better. Team Conversation keeps a digital record of these interactions to maintain an audit trail of decisions made throughout the project.
- BIM workflow enhancements: Featuring a nearly transparent integration with the Trimble Connect collaboration platform, authorized stakeholders can access and share detailed BIM files without the requirement of specialized model viewing applications.
- Offline capabilities: Users have access to all of their drawings as well as all other ProjectSight features and functionality, even without a Wi-Fi connection.
