It is a collaborative platform that primarily serves the interests of execution teams: taking measurements, coordinates, sections, quantity extraction, visualization by overlaying disciplines or allotment, structured data queries. It is a platform that is easy to use. Due to the interoperability of the supported formats (*IFC, *BCF), it allows collaboration between teams regardless of the tools, without questioning the expertise of people and production software. Moreover, it is a platform that can be part of a larger common data environment through its numerous integrations with production, control, and communication tools. The open APIs allow for flexible connections to other solutions, thus defining what could be an open CDE.

Its design is a very intuitive and easy-to-use software. The "customer support" is always responsive and always provides us with solutions.

I’ve found Catenda to be an essential integrated BIM system. I love how it seamlessly merges our communication topics with all our 2D and 3D model information. Because the viewers and communication tools are always interwoven, I can instantly pull up the most relevant data right where I need it. The biggest game-changer for my team and me is the dynamic topic boards. This feature lets us structure and secure all our process communication—like decision logs, action items, and focus points—and link it directly to the models. Sharing information is simple and secure via collections, so I can finally ditch services like WeTransfer and always have a clear audit trail of what I’ve shared and when. Plus, it’s open and connects easily with the applications we already use, like Solibri, Revit, Navisworks, Archicad, and SharePoint. It truly works well with the tools we rely on in the Dutch construction sector. Last but not least, we like the personal support we get from the team in NL.
