SierraSoft BIM Checking is a modular software extension designed for the comprehensive analysis and verification of Building Information Models (BIM) related to land and transportation infrastructures. This solution addresses the critical need for information models to meet stringent requirements for completeness, transmissibility, and congruence. It ensures that all project-related information models are properly interrelated and coordinated with established reference rules, which is vital for successful project execution and data integrity. The software includes dedicated tools primarily for the BIM Coordinator, but also offers significant utility to the BIM Specialist, supporting the creation and refinement of information models. A key feature is its integration with the BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) standard, which facilitates rapid sharing of model topics and issues among project stakeholders, enhancing collaborative workflows. SierraSoft BIM Checking is composed of three distinct modules—BIM Checking Clash, BIM Checking Validation, and BIM Checking Compare—each available for separate purchase, allowing users to acquire only the functionalities they require.
