construction sites for general contractors and owners, is proud to announce a new partnershiwith Autodesk, the leader in 3D design, engineering and construction software.Thepartnership                           allows customers to seamlessly move between Autodesk’s BIM 360 construction management                       platform and HoloBuilder’s Construction Solution. This closes the gap betweentheworkflowfor                           360 reality capturing and virtual walkthroughs as well asdocumentandissuemanagement.The                             partnership is based on the commitment of both companies to serve professionals in the field                               and in the office to accelerate delivery, save money and reduce risk. The cross-platform                             integration is implemented utilizing Autodesk Forge technology. The announcement was made                       at Autodesk University, the company’s flagship user conference in Las Vegas, which welcomes                           more​ ​than​ ​10,000​ ​Autodesk​ ​customers​ ​annually.
The integration allows users to addissuestotheBIM360platformfromwithintheirHoloBuilder                                 project. The connection between immersive 360-degree construction documentation and issue                     management also allows users to virtually walk the construction site and create issues at the                               same time, without ever needing to leave their desks. Created issues are also linked to their                                 position within HoloBuilder’s documentation so that users can easily find the affected area and                             understand​ ​the​ ​context.
HoloBuilder’s integration with BIM 360 eliminates data silos. Users can add documents, like                           sheets and floor plans, from BIM 360 to the HoloBuilder environment. This ensures that any                               documents used within HoloBuilder are always up to date. Further functionality which allows                           customers to link additional information between BIM 360 and HoloBuilder will be released                           shortly.
“I am excited for this partnership as it allows us to connect and streamline construction project                                 workflows,” Mostafa Akbari, CEO of HoloBuilder. “We havebuiltHoloBuilderfromthegroundup                             to save time for our construction customers around the world when capturing reality and                             sharing this with stakeholders. As we now provide access and a connection to the BIM 360                                 construction management platform, this eliminates duplicate work and interruptions in the                       overall​ ​workflow,​ ​resulting​ ​in​ ​further​ ​efficiency​ ​gains.”
