DOCUMENT CONTROLLER

Centralized project documentation within BIM environment ensures version control, real-time tracking, and easy access to approved documents. Automated workflows and notifications streamline the review and approval process, while integration with BIM elements enhances document context and accuracy. Advanced analytics enables monitoring of documentation status, compliance, and performance, supporting more efficient and reliable project delivery.

PROJECT DASHBOARDS

Dashboards like BEXEL BI Analytics and Power BI offer Document Controllers real-time visibility into critical project documentation, including the status and completeness of as-built records, change orders, and model versioning or progress. By centralizing essential project data into clear, interactive visuals, these tools support informed, data-driven decision-making and help track overall documentation performance with precision.

openBIM MODEL FEDERATION

BEXEL Manager and the BEXEL CDE platform support automated federation of multi-disciplinary BIM models, even when originating from different software applications. By utilizing open file formats like IFC, JSON, and others, they ensure seamless integration and coordination across various design disciplines.

DOCUMENTATION MANAGEMENT & VERSIONING

Storing and managing all project documents and their various versions throughout the entire project lifecycle is enabled within the cloud‑based document management system BEXEL Docs. Organizing project documentation by folder and subfolder structure, as well as advanced documentation filtering by element selection, facilitate and accelerate project documentation linking, versioning and management.

DOCUMENTS ANALYTICS

With BEXEL Docs and BCF.Server modules document analytics is made more efficient by enabling documents sorting, advanced filtering and searching, comment tracking, element linking, access managing etc. Addition analytics is provided by Portfolio BI Analytics to make analysis of the entire project documentation through interactive charts and graphs by selecting single or multiple parameters such as status, type of problem, responsible person, etc.

COMMUNICATION AND APPROVAL OF NECESSARY ON-SITE CHANGES

Through BEXEL BCF.Server and BEXEL Docs module, all on-site changes are efficiently tracked, managed, and communicated in real time. The approval process is streamlined and transparent: reviewers receive a request with all relevant documentation attached, enabling thorough review and clear communication before approval - all within a centralized system already linked to the full BIM model and project documentation. This integrated workflow ensures quick response times, effective issue resolution, accountability for errors, and proactive prevention of further on-site problems.

DESIGN SUPERVISION COMMUNCATION TRACKING

Simplified monitoring of uploaded/approved/rejected documentation, modified document versions, and specific communication for each of the observed project documents is enabled through various sections of BEXEL Docs and BCF.Server modules, allowing Document Controller to efficiently track the design supervision process. Receiving timely email notifications about project documentation activities helps improves communication and design supervision efficiency.

RFIs COMMUNICATION

BEXEL BCF.Server and BEXEL Docs modules within BEXEL CDE ecosystem enhance communication between all project participants by enabling clarity in information sharing, documentation exchange and access rights on a project through all of its versions. RFIs communication is simplified by enabled participant communication on a specific report through comments section, as well as through addition of report templates and filtering sections which improve the automation of RFIs creation and review of existing ones.

AS-BUILT DOCUMENTATION COLLECTION

With BEXEL Docs. every update in project design or on-site execution is continuously recorded by linking relevant documents directly to corresponding model elements. This enables Document Controller to access up-to-date as-built documentation throughout the entire construction phase, not just after project completion. The completeness and accuracy of this documentation can be monitored and reviewed in real time through BEXEL BI Analytics and Power BI dashboards, which can also be easily shared with relevant project stakeholders.

SIMPLIFIED HANDOVER

BEXEL Manager, as an all-in-one BIM solution, significantly enhances the project handover process by ensuring the efficient transfer of complete, accurate, and well-organized project data to the Client. Within its centralized data environment, the most recent and approved versions of models and related documentation are readily accessible for a smooth handover. All operational information is directly connected to model elements, and documentation can be easily exported in widely used file formats.
