Popular CDEs in Europe

• Trimble Connect – allows you to view 3D models, link tasks to model elements, add additional information, and extract data. Various plugins are also available, for example for augmented reality. It is a popular BIM CDE because it combines good functionality with a reasonable price. However, there are downsides – the system sometimes freezes, and site solutions are not very user-friendly.
• Dalux Box – a widely used solution in Europe. Its functionality is similar to Trimble, but with broader and more practical tools for construction and facility management. The main drawback is that it is significantly more expensive than Trimble.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) – deeply integrated with Revit and other Autodesk tools, offering extensive functionality for the entire building lifecycle. Globally, this is the most popular CDE, but in some countries it is rarely used due to high cost and the fact that it is better suited for projects fully based on Autodesk solutions rather than IFC.
