New Features Announcement, May 2021
Grade Checking
Grade checking is frequent, time-intensive
surveying of terrain changes to monitor construction work, track progress,
ensure quality, and detect deviations in the layer buildup. Infrastructure
projects such as highways and railways embankments request surveyors to measure
hundreds and sometimes thousands of points several times a week on the jobsite.
DatuBIM now transforms 2D designs into
digital data model objects, calculates grade checking reports, and further
automates progress monitoring. This entirely digital process significantly
reduces work, prevents human error, saves professional resources, and ends the
construction companies’ dependence on several software tools to perform these
frequent reports.
DatuBIM’s automated grade checking brings additional
benefits as it transforms previously siloed data to interactive and easily
shared digital data that:
Gives access to progress history
Is securely stored
Allows for analytics on past phases
Can be part of cut-and-fill and progress reports
Is available for completion-to-design reports
How it works
The grade checking feature calculates the
difference between a 3D layer design and the current construction progress.
This unique DatuBIM feature enables you to
create a digital 3D object model from 2D layer design files: horizontal
alignment, vertical profile, and cross-sections. Comparing this virtual 3D data
object of the layer to imported survey points, Grade Checking automatically
analyzes and delivers grade checking reports.
Grade Checking compares
the height of the uploaded survey points with the height of the corresponding points
in the virtual layer design and gives accurate numbers representing the height
difference.

Hassle-free Import and Support of Native Design Files
Straight from the cutting edge of digital
construction management! We put an end to time-consuming conversions and
reliance on 3rd party software:
DatuBIM is now the first infrastructure
construction analytics software that supports all leading design file formats (DXF,
DWG, DGN, and LandXML) for progress monitoring analytics and design overlay
visualization for quality assurance.
There is no need for any CAD experts,
conversion tools, or data quality checks. Upload your native design files to
DatuBIM and you are ready to go!
Digital as-built to plan comparison has
changed the way DatuBIM users visualize, track and analyze the progress of
their construction projects. With the newly supported design files, you can concentrate
on your goals and construction projects instead of wasting your team’s time on
sometimes more than tricky file conversions and design manipulations.
Besides faster and smoother workflows, you
also reap a competitive advantage. Whatever design files your customers or
sub-contractors bring in, you can rely on DatuBIM to handle them.
Introducing Basic and Analytics User Permissions
Take control of what your users can and cannot do.
We added new user types called “Analytics” and “Basic”. Analytics users have permission to run cross-flight comparisons, design layer comparisons, and upload design files.
Basic users cannot create or edit analytics like “Cross- Section Progress” and “Delta” calculations.
