1 About Asite
The Asite Cloud Platform contains a suite of integrated applications, which enable our users
to meet the information-sharing requirements of the world’s largest building projects. Our
system enables full control of the information generated during the Building Lifecycle from
conception through to occupation and beyond. This removes the requirement for investment
in IT infrastructure and allows project teams to work seamlessly from anywhere on the planet
with an internet connection.
2 About Adoddle
As part of our continued mission to support the AEC industry sector in sharing and
coordinating information with their partners in a secure environment in the cloud, Adoddle is
designed to integrate the BIM coordination process with sourcing, construction management,
and procurement processes within one collaborative platform.
Adoddle enables you to:
Selectively share your project model or individual BIM WorkSets with project partners
Create a clear audit trail by tracking version control and updates to the model
Merge multiple model files and WorkSets from different project partners and different
design tools into one central model
View the differences between model file revisions
Collaboratively review, interact and mark up model files in the integrated 3D viewer.
Associate model views, component schedules (lists), and mark-ups with workflows
and track actions across your team
Tightly integrate your project document control and construction management system
With your BIM coordination process
Truly connect the commercial aspects of your project to the design itself.
The benefits of Adoddle include:
Bring visibility and control to shared Building Information Models helping deliver
the true potential of BIM and Integrated Project Delivery
A truly interoperable and collaborative approach to modelling and model management
makes it easier to work with distributed teams and disparate systems
Eliminates errors from designing in isolation by viewing your design in the context
of the overall model
Reduces the risk of on-site problems with early clash detection – both of physical
clashes and specification clashes
Immediately review how the design has progressed during development and track
critical decision making
Centralise storage of all versions of your models in a collaborative online environment
View and walk through the overall project model and access the rich data contained
in the project model without expensive software.
Stores and integrates model files from leading BIM design tools in the market
