Planning, Programming, BIM Project Solution

ONUMA Inc. makes the complex simple.

And our BIM tool is simple. Our tools provide the ability to exponentially increase the value of your information with easy to use BIM products. We have been using BIM since 1994 and began developing a web-enabled BIM tool in 1995. We use the tools we build on our architectural and planning projects. In 2000 these solutions became available to our clients.

The focus of our tools have always been: ease of use, scalability and interoperability. We offer support and custom solutions using ONUMA tools along with other interoperable standard tools. ONUMA products work with Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, and other standard business tools. Our tools do not require software installation. Being web-enabled, user friendly and user familiar environments like Internet Explorer (for PC users) and Firefox (for Mac users) let anyone quickly become a BIMmer. Don't be intimidated by BIM technology. It's really easier than you think. BIMming isn't just for the geeks!

How do we make BIM easy? ONUMA analyzes complexity, decomposes it, then we create simple interfaces to allow users to interact easily and quickly with the process. From principals with all the design knowledge, to the recently hired intern, anyone with Excel skills can be a BIMmer!

The ONUMA Planning System (OPS) knows it takes time to learn new tools, and time is money. So our simple user interface is designed for everyone on the team to be BIMmers. Principals, with their wealth of knowledge, can interact with the BIM and will actually make the BIM better. The tech team can also use OPS for other applications. We know everyone is familiar with Excel. So we took Excel, and made OPS the conversion tool to allow anyone to do BIM.

And when all team members are using BIM, the firm's BIM becomes knowledge centric and the BIM begins to "learn" and harvest all of the "information" (the "I" part of BIM) for immediate or future use. BIM should NOT be reservered for the BIM department like CAD was 15 years ago. Anyone who can operate a fax machine can pretty much be BIMming. Principals, internal staff, external disciplines, and specialists need to all become part of the BIM process.

It's really revolutionary, how we designed OPS to be the nascent building tool of the century. OPS guides users toward better processes, helping them solve problems by allowing the teams to "see" the same information from their own perspective, while allowing users to remain integrated with the big picture. Now that's integrated practice!
