HOW WE HELP GOVERNMENTS
Solibri Enterprise is the Office version for large construction companies and other organizations by providing a flexible licensing alternative. Solibri Site is meant for non-designers in the field. It produces information takeoffs for construction site managers, for them to compare as-designed with as-built data. T H E C O D E C H EC K I N G G LO B A L TAS K F O RC E
In addition to those four products, Solibri now has a new unit called Automated Code Compliance Checking, which Alsakini heads worldwide. Its purpose is to provide a host of services for e-permitting projects by a network of partner companies. When building authorities want to establish a new, BIM-based e-permitting process, they need external help. The new unit can help with many tasks, including project management, integration with legacy systems, and deployment of cloud services. Solibri can now offer building authorities options that vary from ‘Automated code compliance checking systems’ as extensions running on current Solibri desktop version to the ‘ePermitting System’. The latter is a hybrid model of the current product running in the cloud as a checking system integrated within authorities’ e-Service or permitting platforms.

SOLIBRI AT WORK
Creating models that BIM-savvy building designers and contrac- can be automatically tors worldwide are already using Solibri. The checked company’s extended offering will undoubtedly increase its appeal to building authorities as well. With its services, Solibri helps advance the adoption of BIM in countries and cities that want to move to a model-based design, permitting, and construction process. “If the government and the industry work together and do their homework, a successful transition to BIM is possible. It does not work if only one is pushing for the change,” Alsakini advises.
