iFieldSmart breaks data silos, connects remote teams, builds on project efficiencies, and helps you stay a step ahead from design to closeout.

1. Top tools to manage a
remote BIM team efficiently

2.  A myriad of AEC teams, BIM managers, and other stakeholders found
themselves disconnected during the pandemic. As firms continue to evolve
with better upgrades and agility, it is crucial to leverage remote technology and
platforms. BIM can be challenging whilst teams work through
compartmentalized workflows. BIM tools and technology need to move
projects to people, rather than the opposite.
 Supporting remote teams requires BIM managers to assess parameters that
make remote workflows challenging and rather demanding. Failing to
understand these factors leads to a decline in project performance and
inefficient engagement. A change in mindset and operating models is needed
to achieve effective remote working objectives in an integrated and seamless
manner.

3.  CHALLENGES OBSERVED WITH BIM REMOTE SUPPORT –
TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGES FOR NEW WAYS OF WORKING.
 Teams working from remote locations aren’t a temporary fix, but a new
working model. Reimagining orthodox workflows to coordinate and
collaborate through remote technologies
 and managing BIM models can be demanding. As BIM draws in on
collaboration, teams need the right set of tools to thrive and move forward.

4.  TAKING PROJECTS TO PEOPLE.
 Moving complex projects to teams rather than moving people to projects is the
first step in meeting present-day construction demands. Being able to latch onto
digital workflows and manage remote working requires a change in the company
structure.
 RECOGNIZING CHALLENGES.
 Assembling teams to work in a remote environment requires the adoption of
new tools and technology. When reinforcing teams in a remote setup, BIM
managers need to consider a myriad of factors to work in a challenging
environment. The absence of accurate digital workflows and tools may result in
performance decline and team engagement.

5.  Remote support challenges include:
1. Absence of communication and collaboration
2. Absence of one-to-one supervision
3. Lack of team cohesion
4. Inability to access relevant information
5. Shortage of trust and ownership
6. Insufficient accountability

6.  MODERN ENGAGEMENT DIRECTIVES FOR REMOTE SUPPORT.
 COMMUNICATE BETTER.
 Digital transformation requires the presence of Autodesk products like Revit,
Navisworks, etc. but it also needs communication tools like iFMeets from
iFieldSmart Technologies to resolve communication problems. Leveraging these
tools leads to enhanced efficiency, improved expectations, and enhanced
communication schedules.
 BUILD DAILY CHECK-INS.
 Creating daily check-in calls with remote teams helps teams achieve project
goals. A series of 1 on 1 video calls with various team members drives higher
collaboration through regular and predictive calls.

7.  BROADCAST TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
 Lack of communication poses a serious challenge for a distributed workforce.
Beyond daily check-ins, communicating and collaborating daily improves
responsibilities, duties, tasks, etc. BIM managers need to leverage tools like
iFieldSmart Technologies to build remote support opportunities for regular
meetings and resolve BIM challenges in the preconstruction stage.
 COMMUNICATING PROJECT CONFIDENCE.
 Emotional intelligence supports BIM managers to identify clues and resolve
challenges. BIM managers using new processes and tools can affirm confidence
in team members leading to improved project outcomes.

8.  MODERN PROCESSES AND RULES OF REMOTE PROJECT ENGAGEMENT.
 Deploy video conferencing tools like iFMeets
 Utilize cloud storage platforms to store, access, edit, and share BIM project files
in real-time
 Create team expectations to handle ad-hoc calls and tasks
 Use connected construction tools like iFieldSmart to handle 2D drawings, RFIs,
reports, construction coordination, submittals, task management, etc.

9.  PREEMPTIVE COLLABORATION.
 Remote teams need preemptive collaboration to reduce time and effort and
improve access to project data. Sharing project documents like 2D drawings, 3D
models, RFIs, etc. in real-time reinforced by markups and annotations improve
project outcomes and quality of deliverables.
 iFieldSmart Technologies supports disconnected teams with design coordination
and collaboration on a single platform. Model viewing and authoring capabilities
through connected
 construction workflows improve efficiency and productivity to achieve project
goals.

10.  Connected construction with iFieldSmart Technologies.
 ACCOUNTABILITY.
 Tools like iFieldSmart Technologies deliver greater accountability for teams with
higher data accuracy, improved task management, reports, clash management,
etc.
 OWNERSHIP.
 Taking ownership of a project, tasks, etc. draws higher initiative to improve
project effectiveness and efficiency. Clear and transparent data presence in real-
time on a single dashboard improves project, data, and task ownership.

11.  TRUST.
 The presence of real-time data improves accountability amongst remote team
members. The ability to connect on a single platform or dashboard makes it
easier to create higher trust value at every stage of the project lifecycle.

12.  SUMMARY.
 iFieldSmart Technologies make it easier for BIM managers to achieve connected
construction through technology collaboration, cloud storage, BIM tools, and
more. Our platform builds greater construction authenticity with data-driven
processes enriched with AI and ML. For more information on multiple
iFieldSmart products for modern construction management, schedule a demo.
