The ONUMA System is web-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool. It is the engine that drives the award-winning BIMStorms. It is used by architects, planners, engineers, builders, interior designers, and owners. Unleash the “i” of BIM by extending beyond the desktop capablities of BIM applications and jumping into the 21st century of web based cloud computing BIM.
Web-based system
The Onuma system is web-based (i.e. runs in a web browser) - You don't need to install any software!
The system has minimal hardware requirements
Simple and Powerful
Simple to use yet extremely powerful
Works from the individual room and furniture level all the way up multiple buildings, world level and portfolio management
Extremely small file sizes lets you get to your data in real time
A large building loads in seconds
Integrated
Multi-user capability allows collaboration with your team, consultants and clients wherever you may be
Many levels of users, from BIM experts to non techies, can collaborate on the same project data
Communicate through the BIM. Email gets reduced. Teams connect through the model.
Supports integrated project delivery
Uses
Rapid early planning
Project Program Development
Charrettes (BIMStorms)
Schematic Design
Connect to other BIM applications
