BIM
Manage digital design information across the project lifecycle.
The BIM (Building Information Modelling) module allows your team to collaborate, view, and manage 3D models and design data directly within Plexa.
It provides a connected environment where architects, engineers, and contractors can access up-to-date models, coordinate design elements, and resolve clashes efficiently.
By centralising BIM data in Plexa, you maintain version control, improve communication, and reduce costly design conflicts during construction.
💡 Tip: Use BIM with Project tools to keep design and build teams aligned.
What Is a BIM Manager?
A BIM Manager is responsible for implementing, overseeing, and optimising Building Information Modelling processes throughout the design, construction, and handover phases of a project. They serve as the digital backbone of the project team, ensuring that all stakeholders—from architects and engineers to contractors and clients—work from a single source of truth.
Put simply: BIM Managers make digital construction happen, keep it running smoothly, and unlock its full potential for the entire project team.
Unlike traditional CAD managers who primarily focused on software and standards, today's BIM Manager plays a much more strategic role—bridging the gap between technology and practical construction knowledge while driving digital transformation across organisations.
What You’ll Find Here:
- Uploading & Managing Models → Upload BIM files (such as Revit, IFC, or Navisworks) directly to Plexa. Maintain organised folders by project, discipline, or model version to ensure teams are always working from the latest data.
- Model Viewing & Navigation → View and explore 3D models directly in Plexa without needing specialist software. Use zoom, section, and layer controls to inspect details and confirm coordination between disciplines.
- Clash Detection & Issue Tracking → Identify model clashes early and log them directly within Plexa as tasks or defect items.
Assign issues to responsible parties for resolution before they impact on-site works. - Version Control & Change Tracking → Track every model revision automatically.
Plexa stores a complete version history so teams can review changes, approvals, and update notes at any time. - Integration with Documents & Workflows → Link BIM models to drawings, specifications, and workflow approvals.
This ensures that every change or issue is captured, communicated, and aligned across your broader project documentation.
Always upload new BIM versions under a clear naming convention to maintain version control.
Use the built-in clash detection tools regularly during design coordination.
