Operational checklist
BIM Viewer Planning Checklist
AEC teams and construction technology founders planning model-linked software. Use this checklist before building a web-based BIM or IFC viewer. It keeps the project focused on model use, performance, metadata, permissions, and the coordination workflow.
Checklist
- List model formats and representative file sizes.
- Define what users need to inspect in geometry and metadata.
- Document review, issue, RFQ, dashboard, or AI workflows around the model.
- Plan project permissions and sharing rules.
- Test performance with real model files early.
- Define the next action after a user reviews model context.
How to use this
Use the checklist to improve decisions before build
A viewer is not enough if users cannot act on what they see.
Performance should be tested with real files, not ideal demo assets.
AI should support specific review or reporting decisions.
