Connected Construction: your projects optimized from A to Z with Trimble

Technology is permeating more and more sectors, including construction... Connected Construction is now proving to be a must. Imagine a process where you can save time and work more efficiently with all project stakeholders. That's exactly what Connected Construction is all about, and Trimble tools are at the cutting edge.

Optimisez vos projets avec des outils connectés et adaptés 

The real strength of Connected Construction lies in its ability to communicate and centralize all project data in real time. This brings teams together, facilitates interaction and accelerates decision-making. The result: a smoother process that avoids the risk of errors and keeps you on budget.

Manage all stages of your project with Trimble workflow

Trimble offers a complete suite of tools for Connected Construction, covering the various phases of a project, from surveying existing structures to augmented reality visualization on the construction site. Here's a detailed overview of how to use these tools.

Stage 1: building models

  • Survey of existing structures using a 3D scanner.

  • Pre-project sketch in SketchUp, shared via Trimble Connect in IFC format.

  • APS (Avant-Projet Sommaire): import into Tekla Structures for structures, modeling of fluid networks to generate a complete 3D model.

Step 2: Export via Trimble Connect

  • Export of fluid and structural models.

  • APD (Avant-Projet Définitif): creation of renderings in SketchUp.

Stage 3: the Pro phase

  • Document management with Viewpoint for Project.

  • Collision detection on Trimble Connect.

Step 4: Installation plan and delivery follow-up

  • Monitoring the delivery of components to the worksite.

  • Installation planning with Total Stations and Connect AR, offering real-time visualization in augmented reality.

Focus on Trimble Connect In addition to these features, Trimble Connect is a collaborative platform that enables all project stakeholders to work on a single model, facilitating communication and coordination between the teams involved.

Connected Construction with Trimble revolutionizes the way construction projects are carried out, enabling seamless collaboration and efficient data management.
