| As the adoption of BIM centric project delivery grows, project teams experience increasing frustration in collaborating across diverse teams, citing the challenges of moving massive files, interoperability and disconnected workflows. Paradoxically, the single most valuable benefit from BIM is “better multiparty communication and understanding from 3D visualization.”[1] Horizontal targets this specific pain point, making model data easy to manage and accessible through the web.
Construction and Program Managers leverage Glue as the central platform for trade coordination and conflict resolution, eliminating manual file transfers and frequent coordination meetings. By providing remote access to the aggregated BIM model, field managers can quickly review critical data for rapid decision making. Finally, the direct integrations with existing project management software drastically reduce manual re-entry and opportunities for error, while giving a direct view of the 3D object information in relation to associated line items.[2] Building Owners and Operators of buildings, developments or facilities ultimately receive the highest value, as all project participants coordinate seamlessly through Glue. Real-time feedback from Glue makes it a powerful instrument for portfolio management and project oversight. This market also provides a unique opportunity to capture recurring revenue through facilities management licensing.
