Collect What Matters

We gather and organize asset information during design & construction, so your team gets accurate, complete, and structured data at turnover

The Data You Need Is Being Created, But Not Captured

Most of the critical information you need to run a building already exists by the time construction is underway. But without a process for capturing and structuring it, that data ends up buried in binders, mismatched spreadsheets, or incomplete models.

By the time handover arrives, it’s too late to fix the gaps and you're left cleaning up a mess.

Summit BIM prevents that by getting involved during construction to systematically collect and validate data before it’s lost or locked in the wrong format.

“BIM is a process that involves people, processes, policy, and technology. It’s the intersection of all four, and if you don’t address each one, you’ll fail your digital transformation."

What Happens During the Collect Phase

We work closely with contractors, subtrades, and project managers to gather the asset data required for operations. Our team consolidates fragmented information and aligns it with the owner’s standards and systems ensuring clean handoff documentation.

Gather Data from Field & Submittals

We extract key data information from sources such as architcts, engineers and other sources.

Standardize Naming & Classification

We apply consistent asset IDs and naming conventions across all collected data sources.

Track Data Completeness

We monitor what’s missing and follow up with trades before gaps become handover problems.

Prepare for FM Integration

Data is structured to map directly into facility management systems - no rework required.

The Hidden Cost of Leaving Data Until the End

Summit BIM closes this gap by embedding data collection into your project timeline so nothing critical slips through the cracks

Missing Asset Data

Key equipment specs and maintenance details get lost when submittals aren’t tied to models or systems.

Duplicate & Conflicting Info

Without a single source of truth, documents and models contain conflicting data, making handover chaotic and unreliable.

Costly Manual Cleanup

Delaying data collection leads to time-consuming rework, and stalls the development of preventative maintenance plans.

Turning 15,000 Documents into a Clean Digital Record

On a recent institutional project, we collected and standardized over 15,000 documents from contractors, subtrades, and vendors. By the time the project reached substantial completion, all data had been verified, structured, and handed off in a searchable format, saving the owner months of post-construction cleanup.

Don't Let Key Data Disappear During Construction

We’ll help you collect what matters before it’s lost, duplicated, or forgotten.
