With increasing material costs and delays arising from late changes, when it comes to construction, efficiency, accuracy and collaboration are paramount
With this in mind, the latest version of Allplan’s BIM software has been equipped with cutting-edge tools designed to streamline design to construction processes and improve project outcomes.
Allplan 2025 places a strong emphasis on Building Information Modelling (BIM), recognising its pivotal role in fostering seamless collaboration and data-driven decision-making throughout the construction lifecycle.
Whether it’s excavation planning, accurate component and formwork design or digital document exchange, Allplan 2025 introduces a suite of features that leverage BIM throughout construction, optimising workflows, enhancing communication and ultimately driving successful project delivery.
Below is just a small sample of what Allplan 2025 can do.
Efficient excavation modelling
Allplan 2025 introduces enhancements to the excavation modeller, enabling users to generate soil layers and individual reports even for smaller excavations. This added flexibility allows for more precise and targeted analysis of excavation projects, regardless of their scale.
Furthermore, the input method for bored pile walls and soldier pile walls has been streamlined to align with the standard Allplan method for linear components. This consistency simplifies the modelling process, reducing the learning curve and promoting greater efficiency in excavation design.
The integration of the ArcelorMittal product catalogue also significantly accelerates and simplifies the accurate modelling and construction of sheet piling.
Efficient component modelling
To work more efficiently, concrete detailers need to be able to access and place the latest fixtures from manufacturers, including those with complex geometries.
With that in mind, the intuitive handling and management of fixtures has been optimised in Allplan 2025, including better modification with handles and new placement options. This reduces the time spent placing components and improves the accuracy of these details.
The newest version of the Schock manufacturer catalogue is available with Allplan 2025 for instant access to the latest product data.
Another recent addition is the ever-growing and latest range of Leviat components, making it easy to incorporate both of these manufacturer’s products into project models.
Streamlined formwork design and planning
For engineering, detailing and prefabrication with the new version, Allplan provides engineers with a single tool that allows them to design fully customised formwork for both simple and complex freeform geometries.
The data can also be exported for digital production, enabling users to benefit from the advantages of industrial prefabrication, including cost efficiency, shorter construction times and improved quality control.
For formwork planning Allplan 2025 also introduces a new graphical user interface that simplifies the management of formwork. Users can now easily select and deselect available elements for formwork, enhancing control and precision during the planning process.
The placement of formwork elements has also been optimised to accommodate limited space in the design window, ensuring efficient utilisation.
Furthermore, the BIM2form add-on in Allplan now includes the Peri Maximo formwork system, expanding the range of options available for automated formwork wall element assignment. This integration streamlines the formwork planning process, saving time and reducing the potential for errors.
Seamless collaboration with the Allplan-Bluebeam connection
The combination of Allplan 2025 and BIMPLUS fosters seamless collaboration between construction teams by introducing a new workflow with Bluebeam. This integration enables the effortless transfer of any documents from Bluebeam Studio into BIMPLUS’ document management.
By combining BIMPLUS 3D models and 2D drawings with included Bluebeam markups, teams can ensure everyone is working with the most relevant information, minimising errors and miscommunications.
The ALLPLAN-Bluebeam connection empowers project stakeholders to federate critical project data efficiently, facilitating informed decision-making and enhancing overall project coordination. This digital collaboration streamlines communication, reduces the reliance on paper-based processes and ultimately contributes to more successful construction outcomes.
