Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

Construction teams struggle to extract actionable insights from complex BIM data. Building managers manually export data from Revit, spend hours formatting datasets, and cannot correlate BIM information with cost, schedule, and asset data. This fragmentation delays decision-making and prevents real-time project visibility.

✅

The Solution

VIM seamlessly bridges BIM data and Microsoft Power BI to create interactive dashboards without manual exports. Automatically extracts BIM parameters, consolidates federated models, and connects with cost/schedule systems to provide unified project intelligence. Pre-built templates enable quick deployment of 4D scheduling, 5D cost tracking, 6D sustainability analysis, and 7D facility management reporting.
