HDC FM

BUILDING INFORMATION AND DRAWING MANAGEMENT

HDC FM is a digital toolkit designed to simplify the management of buildings and their information. It’s like a central hub that brings together all kinds of important details— from building designs to equipment lists—into one easy-to-navigate online space.

Our vision was to create a platform so versatile it could blend different kinds of information that don’t usually work together. Imagine combining everything from building models, hand-drawn sketches, spreadsheets, and even maps into one place. With HDC FM, you can do just that. It’s all available in a web application that feels as fast and easy as using a desktop program, with no extra downloads needed.

What makes HDC FM stand out is its adaptability. Think of it as a multi-tool for managing not just the inside of a building, like floor layouts and equipment, but also the outside, including green spaces and parking. This all-in-one approach not only saves time but also enhances the efficiency and productivity of those managing facilities.

UNIFIED DATA HANDLING WITH HDC FM: YOUR ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION

HDC FM revolutionizes the way you work with data from any source, whether it’s BIM, CAD, or even scanned drawings. Our platform operates on a principle of uniform management, making it incredibly straightforward. This means you can handle and organize your information consistently, no matter where it comes from.

Imagine turning a simple scanned drawing into a dynamic model, complete with interactive overlays and detailed information, just like you would with data from a BIM model. HDC FM makes this possible, offering a seamless way to manage, display, and utilize your data, elevating the efficiency and capabilities of your projects.

EFFORTLESS SPACE MANAGEMENT WITH HDC FM: A VISUAL APPROACH

With HDC FM, managing your space becomes as intuitive as looking at a drawing or model. Our system lets you interact directly with any object shown, making adjustments and updates a breeze. Imagine being able to highlight different areas or items with color codes based on their characteristics. Need to update multiple items at once? Simply select them on your drawing, and with a few clicks, you can copy and apply changes across the board.

What’s more, any change you make is instantly updated on the drawing. This means you can see your modifications in real time, ensuring they’re exactly what you need. This visual and interactive method simplifies validation and adjustments, making space management more efficient and user-friendly than ever before.

DYNAMIC VISUAL FILTERS IN HDC FM: SEE YOUR DATA COME TO LIFE

HDC FM takes your data visualization to the next level with our advanced visual filters. Imagine being able to highlight different parts of your space with colors and labels, giving you an instant overview of various details like area sizes or item counts. Our filters are not just flexible—they can be tailored exactly to your needs, whether by setting them up in advance or letting the system create them from the data you have.

The beauty of our visual filters lies in their versatility. You can use them for anything from identifying different types of spaces on a floor plan to pinpointing which tenants are in which apartments. And it doesn’t stop there; these filters can integrate real-time data from external facilities management systems or IoT devices, making your insights as current as possible.

With HDC FM, the possibilities are endless. Our tools ensure consistency in your visualizations, automatically matching known values with specific colors. This powerful feature opens up a world of potential applications, allowing for immediate, visual understanding of your data, tailored precisely to your operational needs.

SIMPLIFIED MEASUREMENTS AND MARKUP

HDC FM simplifies the process of taking measurements and making markups directly on your plans without the need to modify the original documents. Imagine being able to sketch, annotate, or highlight areas of interest on your drawings and models while keeping the original files untouched. These redline markups can be effortlessly shared among team members, streamlining communication and collaboration.

For those needing precise details, HDC FM provides straightforward tools to measure distances, areas, and angles. These functions are designed with user-friendliness in mind, ensuring that you have the information you need at your fingertips.

EFFICIENT CHANGE MANAGEMENT

HDC FM revolutionizes how changes are handled, offering a workflow-oriented approach that integrates directly with your drawings. This means you can pinpoint exactly where changes need to be made right on the visual representations of your projects. Once a change request is initiated, it’s navigated through a series of workflow steps, ensuring every modification is tracked, reviewed, and implemented systematically.

This process allows for a transparent and organized way to manage updates, from the initial identification of a needed change to the final integration of new data into the system. It streamlines communication among team members and ensures that every alteration is accounted for, minimizing errors and ensuring that your project evolves accurately according to plan. With HDC FM, managing project changes becomes a clear, controlled, and efficient process.
