BIMcollab
Coordinate, control, connect: the BIM platform that brings structure to your workflows
R2M Solution is the official BIMcollab partner for Italy.
BIMcollab is an integrated platform for the structured management of models, documents, data, checks, and issues in BIM projects.
It centralizes information, standardizes workflows, and ensures multidiscipline coordination fully aligned with openBIM standards.
The platform enables you to:
- validate and monitor model quality
- manage issues with rigor and full traceability
- coordinate teams working across different BIM tools
- ensure data consistency and continuity throughout the entire building lifecycle
R2M Solution supports companies, design firms, and public authorities with onboarding, training, and technical support for adopting BIMcollab.
Challenges in BIM Issue Management
In traditional BIM workflows, issue management is often fragmented and inefficient due to:
- unstructured communication scattered across emails, screenshots, manually exported BCF files, and local documents, without centralized version control
- lack of traceability regarding changes, responsibilities, approval dates, and issue statuses, making audit trails and ISO 19650 compliance difficult
- heterogeneous collaboration between teams using different software (Revit, Archicad, Tekla, Navisworks, Solibri, etc.) without a shared environment that synchronizes models, clashes, and comments
- inefficient review cycles, repeated tasks, discipline overlap, long coordination times, and difficulties synchronizing IFC/BCF datasets across model iterations
The Solution: BIMcollab Platform
BIMcollab Platform resolves these challenges by integrating models, data, checks, and decision-making processes within a single, synchronized ecosystem made of three core components:
Model Quality Assurance (MQA)
A model validation system that performs automated checks on geometry and data, identifying clashes, information inconsistencies, and rule or requirement violations.
It ensures model reliability, reduces design changes, and maintains information quality across all project phases.
BIMcollab Zoom (IFC analysis and validation engine)
The desktop application powering advanced model checking through:
- Smart Views for structured visual and data validation
- Smart Issues that automatically update with each model revision
- Cloud-synchronized Clash Detection
Zoom acts as the technical engine behind MQA, speeding up multidisciplinary coordination and reducing review cycles.
Common Data Environment (CDE)
An openBIM-compliant shared data environment where:
- Every document is linked to specific IFC objects
- versions, responsibilities, and modifications are fully tracked
- teams work on consistent, up-to-date datasets
- models, documents, and approval workflows follow verifiable, audit-ready logic
- Compliant to ISO 19650
Together, MQA + Zoom + CDE provide a unified, interoperable, and standards-compliant ecosystem that reduces errors, coordination times, and complexity throughout the entire lifecycle of the asset.
Benefits for teams and organizations
- Higher operational efficiency and reduced coordination time through standardized workflows and faster reviews
- Improved multidisciplinary collaboration, even across different BIM software
- Full project governance and traceability, with complete history of changes, responsibilities, and decisions (openBIM, ISO 19650)
- Integration with enterprise systems and advanced technologies through APIs and standard formats
