Problem
Construction projects often suffer from communication silos between field teams and design teams, leading to errors, rework, and delays. Traditional methods of documenting field conditions and comparing them to BIM models are time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies. The lack of real-time, location-aware BIM data in the field hinders efficient coordination and quality assurance.
Solution
Sitelink offers a mobile BIM viewer toolkit that integrates precise indoor positioning and reality capture, enabling field teams to visualize and document site conditions directly within the BIM model. By providing location-aware BIM viewing, Sitelink allows users to walk a job site and have the BIM model move with them, providing immediate access to relevant information. The platform facilitates real-time communication by allowing users to capture and share geo-referenced "Sitelinks" containing 3D scans, photos, and annotations, ensuring all stakeholders are on the same page. This consolidated approach streamlines QA/QC processes, improves trade coordination, and ensures that BIM models accurately reflect as-built conditions.
Target Audience
Sitelink targets project engineers, superintendents, office engineers, project managers, VDC engineers, and foremen involved in construction projects who need to visualize, document, and communicate field conditions in relation to BIM models.
Features
- Location-aware BIM viewing: Displays the user's live location within the BIM model as they move through the job site.
- Reality capture: Enables quick LiDAR scanning using iPhone or iPad Pro, localized on-site and within the model.
- Spatial issue documentation: Allows users to overlay and localize digital annotations on top of the physical environment.
- Offline access: Provides access to the model and captured observations even without an internet connection.
- Integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM360: Seamlessly syncs data to and from Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM360.
- Procore integration: Automatically syncs issues to Procore as punch lists, observations, and RFIs.
- Overlayed BIM visualization: Allows users to view the project in a realistic, 1:1 scale on the jobsite.
