The purpose of this guide is to provide you with an understanding of what “BIM collaboration” can be – it does not have one single approach, workflow, or software – and how to collaborate best for the needs of your project.
The information in this guide will allow you to define “BIM collaboration” and describe the different ways of collaborating on BIM projects.

You will be able to explain the roles, responsibilities, and fundamental best practices of collaborating with consultants on a building information model.
You will be able to identify and differentiate the key tasks involved in a collaborative BIM process.
You will be able to establish the collaboration requirements of an upcoming project as well as evaluate and choose the right tools and processes to accomplish the tasks.
The Asharoken House is a 3 story, single-family home located in Northport, NY on Long Island. The site is located on a sand bar overlooking Northport Bay and the site's flat landscape is prone to flooding during severe weather conditions. The home is designed to fit within the fabric of the surrounding neighborhood, where most lots are long and narrow, and the building materials align with a coastal motif.
The project includes a comprehensive 3D BIM model with various elements, such as stories and site details like site modifiers, hardscapes, and other site-specific features, interior furnishings like furniture, countertops, cabinets, and light fixtures, organized by style. Traditional building objects, like walls, windows, doors, and more are organized by styles for consistency.
Concrete is a rather ubiquitous, tested, proven, and versatile building material. It has been used for literally thousands of years to create long-lasting man-made structures of all types, including buildings. Architects in the past few centuries have found it to be an appealing choice to express dynamic and vibrant designs in ways that other materials could not. The ability to structurally reinforce concrete and form it into custom, free-flowing shapes can give it an organic quality that is different from most other materials. This can produce more design freedom and the ability to incorporate unique and custom features into a buildings as a part of the basic construction process.

Space objects are one of the most versatile and hardest
working of all the BIM features, serving the needs of every design phase of an
architectural project. Among their many capabilities, Space objects enable you
to plan a project in 2D or 3D, verify building code and zoning compliance,
report data about themselves and their contents, assemble room finish
information, and accurately visualize their data.
Join Vectorworks Architect product specialist Neil Barman in
this webinar as he examines real-use cases for architectural and interior
design workflows that leverage the power of spaces.
