From coordination to handover
Keep model information useful beyond design.
Bring model context into coordination, issue resolution and handover so BIM information remains connected to the work it supports.
-
See the information behind the model.
- View supported BIM models within the project environment
- Access open IFC model information and metadata
- Capture model snapshots for reference
-
Connect model issues to the work.
- Link coordination issues to model elements
- Connect defects with the relevant model information
- Compare IFC versions to identify model changes
-
Take model context into handover.
- Connect BIM elements with asset records
- Keep installed equipment tied to relevant asset information
- Carry model-linked information into the wider handover record
Key features
Make models part of day-to-day coordination.
Each feature in our BIM management software helps teams use model information as part of project delivery rather than leaving it isolated in specialist authoring tools.
| Feature | SkyStruct Lite | SkyStruct Pro |
|---|---|---|
| BIM model viewingView supported BIM models within SkyStruct so project teams can access model information without relying solely on specialist authoring software. | Not included | Included |
| Open IFC supportWork with open IFC models and associated metadata as part of the project environment. | Not included | Included |
| Model metadata & snapshotsReview model metadata and capture snapshots to preserve useful model context during coordination. | Not included | Included |
| IFC version comparisonCompare IFC versions to identify how model information has changed between submissions. | Not included | Included |
| Issue & defect linkageConnect coordination issues and defects directly to relevant model elements so the technical context remains attached to the action required. | Not included | Included |
| BIM-to-asset linkageConnect model elements with asset records so information created during design and construction can continue into handover and operations. | Not included | Included |

Frequently asked questions
What does BIM management software help construction teams manage?
BIM management software helps teams access model information, coordinate issues, compare model versions and connect BIM elements with wider project records.
How does SkyStruct support BIM construction management?
SkyStruct Pro supports BIM construction management through model viewing, open IFC support, metadata, snapshots, issue linkage, version comparison and BIM-to-asset connections.
Can SkyStruct view BIM models?
Yes. SkyStruct Pro supports view-only access to BIM models. Model editing remains in specialist authoring software.
Can SkyStruct compare different IFC versions?
Yes. SkyStruct Pro supports IFC version comparison, allowing teams to review changes between model versions.
Can issues and defects be linked to BIM elements?
Yes. Pro supports issue linkage and defect linkage to model elements, keeping coordination and quality records connected to their model context.
Can BIM information continue into handover and asset management?
Yes. SkyStruct Pro supports BIM-to-asset linkage, allowing installed equipment and asset records to remain connected to model information through handover and into operations.
