  • System and method linking building information modeling and enterprise resource planning
    Patent number: 11803791
    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.

  • Methods and systems for processing building information modeling (BIM)-based data
    Patent number: 11263364
    Abstract: A method for operating a building information modeling (BIM) system, is provided. The method includes at a BIM server, receiving a data alteration request from a client computing device for altering data in one 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 COBie spreadsheet simultaneously displayed in a GUI generated by the BIM server, automatically determining validity of data in the data alteration request, and if it is determined that the data is valid, permitting the data alteration request based on predetermined permissions of the client computing device.
