About Trimble Connect
The BIM coordination hub from Trimble, the parent of Tekla and SketchUp.
Trimble Connect is a cloud common-data-environment built by Trimble Inc., the Westminster, Colorado company that also owns Tekla Structures, SketchUp and Viewpoint. It runs as a project hub for construction teams: 2D drawings, 3D BIM-models, ToDos, RFIs, documents and field comments live on one project, with a free tier for small teams and Business and Business Premium tiers for larger projects. The platform reads more than forty file types, with IFC and the Tekla model format at its core, and is reached from desktop, web and a mobile app on the werf.
The point of pulling Trimble Connect into a warehouse is that BIM-coordination data does not stop at the model viewer. Open ToDos against a discipline, RFIs that have been waiting since the structural model was last updated, clash counts that move with each new architect-revision, document review SLAs per project phase. In a warehouse, those signals sit next to the construction ERP that runs the contract and the planning, the accounting ledger that carries the bouwsom and the fleet feed from the bestelwagens. The werf where the model coordination is silently slipping becomes visible vóór de werfvergadering, not after.
