What is Allplan BIMplus

Allplan BIMplus is a cloud-based BIM collaboration and coordination platform used to aggregate, review, and manage building models and related project information. It supports model viewing, issue management, and team workflows across disciplines, typically for architects, engineers, and construction stakeholders working in a shared project environment. BIMplus focuses on model coordination and communication rather than being a primary authoring CAD tool, and it is commonly used alongside separate design applications.

pros

Cloud-based model coordination

BIMplus provides a centralized, web-accessible environment for viewing and coordinating BIM models without requiring all users to install full desktop design tools. This supports distributed teams and external stakeholders who need access to current project information. It aligns well with coordination-centric workflows where multiple authoring tools contribute models.

Issue and task management

The platform includes tools to create, assign, and track issues linked to model elements and locations. This helps teams formalize coordination feedback and maintain an auditable history of decisions and resolutions. It supports structured collaboration compared with ad-hoc markups and email-based workflows.

OpenBIM/IFC-oriented workflows

BIMplus is designed to work with common BIM exchange formats such as IFC, which supports multi-vendor project environments. This can reduce dependency on a single authoring ecosystem when coordinating across disciplines. It is useful for projects that require standardized model exchange and long-term accessibility of model data.

cons

Not a full CAD authoring tool

BIMplus is primarily a coordination and collaboration layer rather than a comprehensive CAD/BIM authoring application. Teams still need separate tools for creating and editing design geometry and detailed documentation. Organizations expecting an all-in-one design-and-coordinate solution may need additional products and integrations.

Integration depth varies by toolchain

While IFC-based exchange supports interoperability, the fidelity of data, properties, and workflows can vary depending on the authoring tools and export settings used by project partners. Some advanced discipline-specific features may not translate cleanly through neutral formats. This can require additional coordination effort and model checking to maintain consistency.

Dependent on connectivity and governance

As a cloud collaboration platform, effective use depends on reliable internet access and clear project permissions, naming conventions, and model publishing processes. Without disciplined governance, teams can experience version confusion or inconsistent issue handling. Some organizations may also have constraints around hosting, data residency, or client security requirements that affect adoption.
