Clearbox brings innovative solutions for the built environment through it’s approach to BIM.<\/p>\n

This month, as Clearbox celebrates its 500th project on their BIMXtra digital information platform, Graeme Forbes talks about the journey and the lessons learnt. 500 projects seems no mean feat looking back on the past two years. The team always recognised that we were solving the challenge of BIM with a different approach.<\/p>\n

While we foresaw the benefits we also realised the opportunity and value that our approach could bring and this really motivated and encouraged us in the early days of what was and still is a maturing market. Of course as more and more.<\/p>\n

Clients have come on board this has increased momentum and 500 individual projects now seems a significant milestone and certainly one that has crept up on us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had an exciting first couple of\u00a0years and as the requirements and\u00a0opportunity of BIM really kick in, in this\u00a0maturing market we expect to see a\u00a0significant increase in traction, not least from\u00a0existing customers as they expand usage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our approach has always been to focus on the\u00a0data. In the early days it was solely because\u00a0models aren\u2019t the best place to hold and manage\u00a0the data. We saw others start to have problems\u00a0storing data in the models as well as have issues\u00a0with interoperability between different modelling\u00a0tools. We also realised that federating the\u00a0information around a single source of data also\u00a0made it easier to manage different model(s)
\ntype(s) while at the same time allowed us to\u00a0bring consistent business process to manage\u00a0the required tasks.<\/p>\n
