The rise of both VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) practices have been prominent for more than fifteen years. The use of these practices has allowed workflows and applications to adapt and include easier access and utilization techniques when it comes to both visualization and data-rich geometry.

Here’s how the traditional review process works. The methods that are generally utilized include manual and untraceable processes while the data received from a model is separated and reviewed in silos. This approach, widely regarded as inefficient, led to a wave of attempts to change the process and improve the outcomes. This is how Integrated Collaboration Platforms (ICP) came to life – with the primary goal of providing transparency to the entire design review process via centralized communication and intelligent interaction model. Other features of ICPs also include the ability to quickly extract the specific project’s data and transfer it in a way that allows for real-time, critical projectrelated decisions.
