VisiLean is a cloud-based construction management platform that supports Lean workflows and the Last Planner System(R) for collaborative planning. Powered by unparalleled BIM integration and a dedicated Mobile Application for the teams at the job site, VisiLean provides you with live updates from anywhere across the globe. 

With this App, we are taking a step ahead to bridge the gap between site and office teams by reinforcing our BIM capabilities with Autodesk Construction Cloud®. It allows our users to bring in their Building Information Data (BIM or CAD) through their favorite platforms and deliver it to construction teams.

VisiLean adopts the capabilities from Autodesk Construction Cloud Viewer, Model Derivative, Data Management, Autodesk® BIM 360®, and BIM360 Issues. We also leverage Autodesk Platform Services and their development platform that provides a set of web service APIs that can be easily integrated into clients’ applications for effective production control. The Autodesk platform Services helps enable effective visual management and empower processes while seamlessly connecting with your teams and their workflows, and delivering actionable insights in real-time.

Here is a list of features that will be enhanced with VisiLean’s integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud.

#1: 4D (Live)

As you know, VisiLean facilitates importing models that can be linked to a production schedule. Once this process is completed, the stakeholders can see it in both task and model view with 4D Live, an integral part of VisiLean. Through this, you can add a wide gamut of data to different components for generating schedule-connected spatial information and enable a step-by-step visualization of your project development. Integrating the BIM models with the production management systems can streamline and reinforce the production schedules with relevant building and site information. 

#2: Reality Check (Planned vs actual)

With the Autodesk integration, VisiLean has introduced a quick visual comparison of planned vs actual. This shows the client clearly what is being done on the worksite as compared to the originally planned stages of construction. This allows the stakeholders to know where they stand and where exactly they need to improve.

#3: Seeing is believing (4 D simulator)

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth a million! VisiLean makes use of the 4D Simulator to understand and show the client how the project is progressing day by day in a visual format that is easy to understand. The 4D simulation allows VisiLean to incorporate the fourth dimension of Time into the mix to provide the users with enhanced use of site planning and coordination. It also improves design document quality by constantly evaluating the design against constructability. Using this method, issues can be identified and eliminated at the earliest opportunity, and progress can be compared with the plan.

#4: Seamless integration (BIM in Mobile App)

VisiLean takes pride in being a platform that offers our clients the ability to work seamlessly across devices in both online and offline modes. With this integration, VisiLean will make use of the Autodesk platform Services to allow access to their design documents and models as well as the ability to access and review them remotely.

#5 Track the changes (Version Management + Comparing)

When you are working on a project, it is normal for it to go through different modifications and alterations. Through the integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, VisiLean allows for version management, control, and comparisons. In simple terms, it means that the various teams can track each of the changes or versions at any stage in the process. Each version allows the team complete clarity. It also gives them the feature to go back and compare with an earlier version with clear visibility of changes, to help fix any errors that can be fixed. Don’t worry, while you are doing this version update, we will take care of your 4D linkages.

Authentication Details:

The integration uses both two and three-legged authentication as required to gain access to models and documents in the Autodesk platform, as well as to read and update issues and create model/document markup.
