Optimize your project delivery with 6D Project Management
6D Project Management
Traditional BIM tools focus on project end results (BIM) and project past (As-Builts). They tell you project's goals like "what" and "where", and project history "how it went", but not your next steps nor path to success.
New generation BIM tools focus on project execution by extending BIM with new perspectives like time (4D), quantities (5D) and life cycle (6D). This will help you focus more on project's future, manage your next steps and optimize your path to success. With this you can answer questions like "how" and "when" and what "impact" your project has.

Integrate projects with their surroundings
with Open Worlds
Traditional BIM tools typically focus only on BIM without project surroundings. 6DPlanner brings BIM into project's real surroundings in real world locations, which helps for example:
Make project visualizations look more realistic
Understand project scale and distances better
Ensure project structures match physical world in XYZ
Analyze project impact to its surroundings (shadows, ...)
Analyze project's fit into cityscape or landscape (visibility, aesthetics, ...)
Analyze views from the project to surroundings (apartment window views, ...)
Plan construction site arrangements and logistics routes
6DPlanner includes several ready to use global 3D datasets that can be used as project surroundings. We have for example terrain, satellite imagery, maps ja 3d buildings for the whole earth. We have also integrated Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles (famous from Google Earth) which covers over 2500 cities around the globe. You can also use local citie's city models, photogrammetry and point clouds to bring in the existing project surroundings.

You can also connect feedback into Decidim platform, which is a widely used open source citizen participatikon platform.
Experience your projects in new perspectives
with Extended Reality
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is not only great tool for project presentations on-site, but also makes use fo information much faster and easier on-site. The information already exists around you, and augmented reality is the window that makes this information visible.
Our browser based augmented reality works with any mobile smart device and is included in the license, so no extra payments or devices are needed. Anyone on-site can use it with the same license.
Virtual Reality*
Virtual reality takes you inside the project, which makes it a great presentation tool. In addition to presentations it allows you to experience the project from the end user's perspective. Analyze views, visiblity, scales, dimensions, distances, aesthetics and general feelings of you project.
Our virtual reality will be included in the license, so no extra payments. We use cost efficient VR headset hardware like Meta Quest series. Project models will be autmatically made availabe in our VR headset viewer. This reduces significantly the time and cost of making VR experiences.
*Coming soon
Metaverse
6DPlanner is compatible with widely used game engines and meaverse platforms like Unreal Engine, Unity, Omniverse. You can stream 6DPlanner project models to these platforms and build your own applications without need to think how to import the project information.
6DPlanner generates automatically links to project models, which can be streamed (not imported) into these platforms. Streaming enables dynamic loading based on detail levels and viewer locations, and ensures the information is always the latest up-to-date version.
Ensure your project execution is predictable and optimized
with 6D Execution Planning
3D Site Planning
BIM doesn't tell you how you are going to construct your project. 6DPlanner allows you to model site plans as simple to use Sketch objects.
You can make site plans on top of any project information, for example site photogrammetry or point clouds. You can model work areas, storages, logistics routes, space reservations, security fences, site facilities and even place 3d models of construciton machinery to check how they will fit to move around.
4D Scheduling
Optimize sequencing and phasing , eliminate time - location conflicts, and minimize scheduling risks.
You can schedule all data types so you are not limited to only BIM models. You can for example document site history as 6D Digital Twin using point couds and photogrammetry.
4D Gantt keeps schedule tasks separate from project information. Smart linking uses Query rules to maintain data links when models change.
5D Estimation
Calculate quantities from BIM models or from your own custom attributes, for example materials, resources, costs, or whatever you need in your project.
4D Calculation will take time perspective into account which enables you to manage cumulative effects like Cost and CO2 accumulation and material flows in the project.
Integrated Spreadsheet will allow you do to your own calculations, for example cost estimation with your own price lists. It also eliminates time wasted to export data to external tools and updates calculations up-to-date when project models change.
6D Life Cycle Modeling
Add life cycle information to your project models. Manage for example project CO2 balance by calculating totals from each project elements.
Combined with 4D Scheduling you can manage life cycle management, for example maintenance plans and maintenance budgets.
You can even model life cycle of whole cities and claculate CO2 balance in city level. With 6DPlanner you can make true 6D Digital Twins of your projects or cities.
Site - Office Workflows
Access project information anywhere, anytime with any device. Exchange information between site and office using mobile devices. Discuss about topics, approve taks as done, ensure tasks are made correclty with checklists.
Information access on-site is fast and instant with automatic GPS positioning.
Deliver your projects
as 6D Digital Twins
You can deliver projects as 6D Digital Twins by giving your customer access to the 6DPlanner project. Customer can take over the ownership and continue from where you left. You can also make copies of your project to clean up the delivery model.
All infromation in the 6D Digital Twin is easily accessible to anyone who you or your customer gives access to. For example downloading model data can be done directly from the model view from model Data tree. This way 6D Digital Twin becomes infromation sharing platform for next phases in project life cycle.
BIM Models
Combine all latest updated BIM models and other information into 6D Digital Twin delivery model.
As-Built Models
Combine all as-built measurements, also those from under ground, which cannot be measured any more once constructed.
Site History
As-built measurements can have a timestamp when they were created and this can be linked to 4D Gantt to visualize and manage site history, what was constructed, when and where.
Service Plans
Define service tasks and schedules to project. Attach custom information like costs, resources, work amounts. Attach also service documents with location to make them accessible next to models.
