BIMTABLE offers a portable, stable, adjustable, augmentable and BIM consultable solution that moves your digital office at the building site, removing the distances between the works and the management carried out at the offices, reducing travel times and facilitating a much more direct and exhaustive follow-up of the day-to-day work.

Immersive, Interactive and Itinerant Space for the
Collaborative Management of Construction Projects
Strengthen collaborative work in interdisciplinary
teams for monitoring construction projects
To contribute to the practical adoption of BIM,
through:
○ Visualization of virtual models in an intuitive way in a
portable space
○ Incorporation of real data by using sensors, cameras or
text, indicating advances or incidents

The BIMtable proposal
BIMtable as the realisation of an architectural technical office for
its deployment at any point of the construction site for uses
such as:
■ Information (consultation), for the own staff, owners,
providers and third parties
■ Update (tracking), data integration
■ Training (awareness)
■ Control (supervision and inspections)
■ Management (calendar, budget, coordination)
