No, the system is currently available for PBT and the next phase it will be made available to PSP.

Currently open for selected PBT.

It depends on the file size and complexity of the models. Normally you may get results within 24 hours to 48 hours.

Currently, only PBT can access the report.

IFC file format. At the moment the limit size is set to 1 GB.

Industry Foundation Class (IFC) is a global standard used, to describe, share and exchange construction and facilities management information. IFC format is supported by about 150 software applications worldwide and the flexibility in interoperability is crucial as construction workflow becomes increasingly collaborative. To achieve BIM’s full potential, the industry requires a robust mechanism to exchange the ever increasing levels of digital data, regardless of what software package or BIM platform is used. NBeS is being developed based on the IFC2x3 Coordination View Version 2.0 release where BIM models are exported in that format for model checking. Although, there are newer exchange release, this version is most commonly used. According to Revit’s IFC Manual; Detailed Instruction for Handling IFC files, 2016 , IFC2X3 is currently the most supported and stable format, certified in Revit and recommended for production. Furthermore, the version is optimised for coordinated exchange of BIM models between the main disciplines in the industry. It is also known as CV 2.0, which was widely used and supported Model View Definition (MVD). The version further support the rudimentary parametric derivation of building elements when importing to planning tools. The MDV produced through the IFC2X3 is primarily used for exchanging models between architectural, engineering and MEP. The table below list the exported iFC Classes based on 3d elements modeled.

PSP still has to submit to the respective PBT following the specified guidelines.

Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB)

By mid-year 2021, we have completed 7 pilot projects with 5 PBTs.
