Trimble Buildings

Transforming the Way the World Designs,

Builds and Operates Infrastructure and Buildings
These days, the number of teams involved in the design-build-operate
(DBO) lifecycle of a single buildingor many buildingscan seem too big
to fit inside the projects they create. Architects, engineers, contractors,
owners, occupiers, real estate professionals, facility managers and many
more individuals involved in the building lifecycle all have essential roles in
the process. Yet, too often, each team is using tools that arent set up to
serve a common goalchallenging communication and collaboration
during all of these phases, for both new and existing building projects.
At Trimble, we believe all those toolslike the teams who use them
should be oriented toward a common goal. Most of all, we believe that
a platform of intelligent solutions results in intelligent buildings, so that
managing the complexities across the design-build-operate of a building
lifecycle becomes easier and smarter.

Industry Solutions
Trimble helps industry professionals across the DBO continuum perform better: whoever
they are. A building owner striving to anticipate and manage construction and operational
costs. A general contractor trying to streamline processes and keep everyone on track.
An architect needing to flexibly adapt designs as projects evolve. An engineer or fabricator
wanting to leverage Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create constructible 3D models.
Or an MEP contractor seeking to mitigate risk and improve profitability while being expected
to do more with less.
Across industries, roles, and project phases, Trimble is helping build better buildings with
smart tools for smarter projects.

Design - Build - Operate

Bringing together a portfolio of synergistic hardware, software and service offerings,
our Trimble Buildings team provides highly specialized tools optimized to work together.
It starts with Trimble Connect, our cloud-based collaboration platform, which streamlines
processes throughout the DBO lifecycle, enabling teams to achieve transformative results.
Trimble Connect a web, desktop, and mobile platform is used for coordinating multiple
stakeholders across the building project lifecycle, enabling them to share, review, coordinate,
task and comment on data-rich building models. Anywhere. Anytime. From any device.
Throughout the project, Trimble Connect provides 3D project collaboration, Building
Information Modelling (BIM) technology, and advanced project delivery services to owners,
architects, engineers, builders, fabricators and industry professionals worldwide, allowing
customers of all sizes to communicate more effectively in real-time, improve design and
construction quality, and accelerate project cycle times.

Design
In the Design phase, Trimble software such as SketchUp Pro, Tekla Structures, Tekla
Structural Designer and Vico Office help architects, engineers, contractors and owners
work together to bridge the design-build gap, by unifying project knowledge with flexible,
constructible models that endure across a projects lifecycle and teamsand enabling
designers to easily and quickly adapt design choices and make informed decisions in a
dynamic project landscape.

Build
During the all-encompassing Build phasewhen contractors and construction managers often
struggle to keep architects, engineers, trades, and capital construction owners on the same
pageour portfolio helps ensure a timely, transparent workflow across core constituencies.
Trimble solutions such as Prolog, Proliance, WinEst, Vico Office, and Accubid Enterprise
Estimating empower users with effective project and cost management capabilities that
maximize productivity and efficiency, while reducing risk and budget uncertainty. In addition,
a host of Trimbles hardware products, such as laser scanners and construction layout systems,
ensure efficiency and accuracy in the field.

Operate
Real estate owners, occupiers and investors must continue to maximize efficiencies during
the Operate phase when the building is handed over to the property and facility management
team. This is where Trimble solutions allow for lease, accounting, project and space
management as well as operations and maintenance. Following construction, real estate
management represent the greatest cost during the life of a building. Trimble technologies
enable corporate real estate and facility executives, property managers and workplace
professionals to track the performance of their infrastructure, facilities and entire real estate
portfolios, and with Trimbles analytics application, strategists can make more effective
decisions to then optimize their portfolio.
Trimbles Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) and Computer Aided Facility
Management (CAFM) solutions include on premise and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings
to help plan, manage, analyze and optimize buildings, workspaces, and assets more efficiently
and cost effectively while making workforces more productive.

Solutions from Simulation to Renovation

3D Modeling
Building professionals around the world turn to Trimbles
SketchUp Pro for concepting, visualization, communication,
and planning. SketchUp Pro is powerful because its intuitive
and simple, allowing architects to quickly evolve design ideas
and document modeling work in both 3D and 2D formats.

BIM and Structural Analysis & Design

Trimble Tekla solutions for BIM allow the construction industry
to improve quality, increase profits, and reduce risk.
Tekla Structures is the most advanced (BIM) software on
the market. The construction industry utilizes it for creating,
combining, managing and distributing highly detailed,
accurate and information-rich models of all structures and all
materials. The software interfaces with other solutions and
manufacturing machinery, allowing the users to achieve efficient and error-free collaboration.
Tekla BIMsight is a free professional tool for construction project collaboration allowing anyone
to combine models, check for clashes and share information and Tekla Field3D is an easy-to-use
3D tool for utilizing Building Information Models on mobile devices.
Tekla Structural Designer gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings
efficiently and profitably, while Tekla Tedds automates repetitive structural calculations.

Virtual Construction
Trimble Vico Office delivers a different way of
working with BIM models. Used for much more
than visualization, Vico Office extends the basic
3D model with constructability analysis and
coordination, quantity takeoff, 4D location-based
scheduling and production control, and 5D estimating.

Estimating
Trimble Accubid Enterprise Estimating is a robust estimating solution for electrical
contractors that uses logical business rules to centralize data across the lifecycle of a project.
By using a project workflow approach, contractors can work within core aspects of a project
whether in the estimating or change management phase.
Trimble AutoBid Mechanical and Trimble AutoBid SheetMetal are market-leading labor and
material estimating software solutions, ideal for commercial mechanical, piping, plumbing,
and sheet metal contractors. These products with customized graphical takeoff tools,
automatic fitting generation, and multiple industry-standard labor books, contractors to
quickly and accurately create bids.
Trimble WinEst provides a database-driven estimating solution that uses a highly flexible
spreadsheet for creating, adjusting and presenting cost estimates.

Project Management and Workflow

Trimble ConstructJob, a web-based project management software system, allows MEP
contractors to create, manage, track, and share project documentation more efficiently,
and communicate and collaborate with industry partners more effectively.
Trimble Prolog provides cost control, streamlining the project information workflow and
providing access to information from anywhere. Prolog Mobile enables all project participants
to capture and retrieve project information on mobile devices that are affordable and
available to everyone.
Trimble AllTrak Cloud, a web-based tool and asset management solution, allows
contractors to instantly gain access to asset information that allows for proper jobsite
vallocation, service scheduling and project utilization. AllTrak Cloud is designed to eliminate
inconsistency and optimize material asset management across a contractors various jobsites.

Capital Program Management and Planning

Proliance software uniquely combines capital planning,
project and program management, business process
management and analytics into one system of record,
enabling asset owners to control program delivery and track
how their real estate, construction and facilities portfolios are
performing across the plan-build-operate lifecycle.
