Abstract: An electronic construction collaboration system for managing a construction project is provided. The electronic construction collaboration system includes an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) sub-system including a contract engine configured to generate at least one project contract including a contract data set and ERP metadata corresponding to Building Information Modeling (BIM) metadata included in a structural object of a construction project model in a BIM sub-system and an interconnection engine configured to associatively link the ERP metadata and the BIM metadata and send the contract data set to the BIM sub-system in response to associatively linking the ERP metadata and the BIM metadata.

Abstract: A lubrication system for a chainsaw, the lubrication system including a reservoir housing a lubricant; a fluid conduit extending between the reservoir and a location adjacent to a chain of the chainsaw; a pump configured to move lubricant from the reservoir to the location adjacent to the chain; and a valve disposed along the fluid conduit, the valve having a lubricant inlet that receives lubricant from the reservoir, an air inlet, and an outlet that provides lubricant to the location adjacent to the chain, wherein the valve is movable between an open position whereby lubricant passes from the lubricant inlet to the outlet and a closed position whereby the outlet is in fluid communication with the air inlet, and wherein the valve moves between the open and closed positions in response to a user input.

Abstract: A method for operating a BIM system is provided. The method includes at a BIM server, generating a network accessible graphical user interface (GUI) simultaneously displaying a 3-dimensional rendering of a building model, a hierarchical structure of building model data, and a Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) spreadsheet, the building model, hierarchical structure of building model data, and a COBie spreadsheet being associatively linked.

Abstract: A method for operating a building information modeling (BIM) system is provided. The method includes at a BIM server, in response to receiving a save tri-dimensional data command from a client computing device, associatively mapping identification data in each of a building model, a hierarchical structure of building model data, and a Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) spreadsheet and storing a representation of the associative mapping of the identification data for display in at least one of the BIM server and a client computing device in electronic communication with the server over a network.
