Case Study: Open Project improves BIM coordination and cuts email by 90% with BIM Track

BIM Track for Industrial Facilities Bonfiglioli Riduttori spa Headquarters

Open Project, a multidisciplinary design firm, was hired to design a new factory and headquarters for Bonfiglioli Riduttori spa. Their challenge was coordinating a large, cross-disciplinary team on a tight schedule, as they needed to identify and resolve design issues daily rather than waiting for weekly meetings. The team used various software platforms, including Revit, Allplan, and Advance Steel, and required a centralized way to collaborate on model issues without relying on inefficient email chains.

The firm implemented the BIM Track platform to create a live workflow for coordination. Using IFC models within BIM Track’s web viewer and its Revit add-in, all stakeholders could raise, track, and resolve issues in a transparent, centralized system. This solution reduced coordination-related email by over 90% and provided valuable metrics to focus efforts. BIM Track’s simplicity also ensured easy buy-in from all project stakeholders.
