Ehnahnce 4d schedule simulation with 5D costing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to make a 3D preview of the design allows you to estimate the cost structure, make improvements in it thus facilitating the implementation of the project, since its management is simple and allows the participation of all those involved in the project from the team to the final consumer.

The interface of the program sometimes gets slow slow slowing down the work, large loads of information collapse the system, there are options to edit the design that do not always work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

. Assemble is a 3 D based modeling software and the best thing I like about the software is it has 3D model based take off ability. It can pull off the data from elements that was fed to the elements in Revit. It is a very user friendly easy to user software. It can also be used as an alternate model viewing software. You can also extract the meta data from the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While assemble is a good estimating software, it does it have a material library that we can use to fill out the items that were not modeled in revit software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like the title says, it does a great job to help visually understand what is being proposed in the design for the project. When often the drawings can get messy and unclear in a 2D view, this program helps put the building in 3D and allows you to alter the view for a clearer understanding. I love that you can create multiple views for the project that show different aspects (i.e. walls/partitions, specialties and equipment, plumbing, etc.). It is also very convenient that the 3D view can work with the 2D drawings so you can click on things in either window to see where it is located in the drawing.

There is so much that this program can do, but it is hard cramming it all in one little window. There are times when I want to see the 3D view, the drawings, the schedule, AND the materials and it can get crowded at times. Maybe I need a bigger monitor but that is something that can be aggravating at times. I use the program online and there are also times when I change something and want to undo but have yet to figure it out. In addition, if the architects send over a messy file, it can be fairly inconvenient for us, the general contractors, to make sense of the drawings if they did not clarify things as intended for this program. So if the architects are willing to work with you on their revit design, then it is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a national, General Contractor, deeply involved in BIM and Virtual Coordination and Construction, it is very useful for our team to efficiently and accurately leverage a Design Team's models on the basis of quantities and costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a fault of the software, but as the saying goes.... "garbage in, garbage out." As a profession, Contractors are in a great position to encourage the Design profession to embrace the concept of Model First Always. If you model it, model it accurately. If you model it, I can quantify and price it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The spped and efficiency of color coding and puling quantity and property data from model elements. The superb viewer tha can function on tablet as wellas desk tops and the ability to restructure data for estimators are a plus. Th greatest value we have found in tracking versions of model changes.

Sometimes the server can lockup, at least it did in the past as we loaded larger models. We think this has been improved over time as server technology on how it was supported was improved. We wish we could highlight elements in a drawing not modeled, but merelky anotated. We also wish we could look at multiple buildiong models as they relate to each other and adjust the orbit point different than what was in the native models.

Ease of use, getting up and running and sharing with users is a breaze. Hiding elements to focus in on desired areas is simple (pending how well the model is built...) - and an excellent marketing tool to showcase 3D design and intent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing on the Assemble side, limitations are almost always based on how well built the model itself is and who built it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to access our data beyond the authoring tool has been a huge breakthrough. Navisworks contains the data, but it is not easily accessible or exportable. Assemble has been able to accomplish both of those feats with a great web-based viewer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The additional publishing requirement is a downside. I'm hopeful that in the future, any models that are cloud hosted can be automatically published to assemble without using the local machines resources. Publish times can sometimes be in the 3-4 hour range (rendering your computer unavailable for other CAD work). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
