Horizontal has partnered with industry leaders to increase the potential of BIM data by making it useable with leading project management and controls systems.  Budget line items and RFIs can be created directly from 3D model objects. The integrated information is visualized on the Glue server by bringing together 3D models from each discipline which are actively linked to line-items within project management software.

Quantity Take-off/ Estimating/Budgeting

- Automated QTO and costing from BIM to Project Management systems

- Visualize links between BIM objects and budget line items

- Create a system to track captured costs, increasing corporate knowledge and database for budgetary items.

Requests for Information

- Generate RFIs from three platforms: BIM, Glue, and PM Software

- RFIs link directly to an associated, navigable 3D model view of the concerned area

- Review RFI status through Glue or PM Software

- Link BIM objects directly to the RFI for tracking and resolution status; when RFI is highlighted, the objects concerned are highlighted, and vice-versa

Submittals and Procurement

- Subs can submit directly from BIM into PM register

- Assemble Buy Out Items and Bid Packages directly from BIM object data

Scheduling and 4D Modeling

- 4D visualization of schedule

- Use to verify completion of each trade

- Coordinate deliveries and construction of temporary works

Design Deficiencies

- Generate deficiency and issue lists directly from clash reports
