"Communication tools integrated within the 3D models"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Newforma Konekt?

The best thing is the ability to assign issues to other users within the model. The fact that you can integrate the communications with the items inside the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

The licensing model might not be the best as you need a paid seat for each user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Issue Tracking during Model AND Document Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Newforma Konekt?

The fact that BIMTrack has "plugins" for various applications- but isnt specifically dependent on using those applications and plugins- is paramount, for my team: We are BUILDING models (not reviewing them) while reading and reviewing Drawings in PDF form (where the issues originate). The majority of our BIMTrack issues stem from PDF's, but we can use the Revit plugin or web app to input them, and the Revit plugin while reviewing answers and modeling.

Another large upside (to our specific workflow) is that using BIMTrack isnt dependent on a document or model export of any kind: neither the PDF's nor the Models. We CAN leverage the models (when we are in to actual 3D coordination based on our models), but during the initial (main) design review/validation/reconciliation process, there simply is no upside to marrying the issues to a model. And- because we are issuing questions while we review PDF's that are stored elsewhere- hypothetically forcing us to use an issue system married to documents or models is a detriment we are happy to avoid.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

The Hub user count and licensing structure challenges us (as a very small company, who often needs very large teams on the hub). But it is a minor limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best Clash Management tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Newforma Konekt?

As we all know, Navisworks is great with clash detection, but not clash resolution and management. BIM Track allows you to convert those clashes into cloud-based issues that can then be easily managed in the authoring tools for quick and easy resolution. It makes the entire coordination process really easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

If we could use NWC files to create the cloud federated model in addition to IFCs, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is simple to integrate into our existing workflows. VDC manager loves the metrics that come out showing the issues, we use this at all our BIM coordination meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

I have a difficult time navigating in the model to look at other trade's work in 3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows people to use AutoCad and still participate in the coordination process. (But that’s the point). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Interfaces with Navis and Revit!"
4/5
What do you like best about Newforma Konekt?

The fact that we can have users scanning and running clash in Navis and I can view those same viewpoints in Revit is huge. No longer looking at the model and trying to verify I am in the same place. Having the clahses assigned is saving time for us to go through all the clashes and rename and place in folders for assigning the resposible or effected parties reduces our time spent on generating reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

If we could generate views for non-clashes. Something that they would like to see modified but isn't a clash would be helpful. But overall this has been very useful not many dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must for coordination"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Newforma Konekt?

Most people treat clash detection as the first line of defense in coordination but it should be the last line of defense. Using BIM Track during design phase you have an exceptionally clear way of communicating a issue with other design team members. Emails and snap shots can be lost and hard to track. Here you see the issue and can track the issue. Use this internally or externally it saves you time and frustration in looking for an issue. Then when you do get in to clash detection you can add those to the cloud, track and see which trade is having a hard time keep up and cause the most issues. Even though I don't currently use the software at my new company, It will be part of our VDC solution here shortly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Newforma Konekt?

Not to much to dislike. The team is pretty good about helping with issues, even with the time delay from east coast to west coast. We did have a problem at first uploaded clashes and it adding the clashes each week with a new number - but the team helped clear that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
