Tekla Developer Awards 2019 winner: BIMcollab BCF Manager for Tekla Structures

Developed by

Paul Deckers, BIMcollab.

Description

The BIMcollab BCF Managers add cloud based issue management capabilities to Tekla Structures. It provides the ability to create and modify issues and communicate these through BIMcollab directly from within the application.

Problem that app solves

Effectively managing the issues which arise while evaluating and checking digital models results, increases the quality of the digital models and therefore in the end the quality of the building.

Managing issues via file exchange (BCF, Excel, email) is inefficient, error prone and difficult to maintain an overview. Providing a central repository of issue data in the cloud solves these drawbacks.

Connecting to the repository via the BCF manager allows engineers to access issue data directly from within Tekla Structures and identify the relevant location and components. They can also communicate with other team members and collaborate on resolving the issues.
