These are used on CUBE mainly for transmittals, as it becomes an effective tool for communication for intra-project data sharing. It can also be used to send acknowledgments to a transmittal sent with or without attachments. It is a useful tool as all the users of a Space can be connected to each other and share relevant information.
In the context of Building Information Modeling (BIM), transmittals play a crucial role in the management and exchange of information among project stakeholders. Here’s how transmittals are typically used within BIM workflows:
- Digital Documentation: In BIM, transmittals are often digital documents used to send BIM models, drawings, specifications, and other project data between team members and stakeholders.
 
- Data Exchange: Transmittals facilitate the exchange of large and complex BIM models and related documents, ensuring that all parties have access to the most current and accurate information.
 
- Tracking Changes: They help track revisions and changes to the BIM models and associated documents. This is critical for maintaining version control and ensuring that everyone is working with the latest data.
 
- Collaboration: BIM projects often involve multiple disciplines (architects, engineers, contractors, etc.). Transmittals help manage the flow of information between these different groups, promoting collaboration and reducing the risk of miscommunication.
 
- Audit Trail: Transmittals create an audit trail of all documents and models exchanged during the project lifecycle. This is important for project management, accountability, and legal purposes.
 
Key Elements of a BIM Transmittal
- Project Information: Details of the project, including project name, reference number, and description.
 
- Sender and Receiver Information: Contact details of the person or organization sending and receiving the transmittal.
 
- Document List: A detailed list of all documents and models being transmitted, including file names, types, and versions.
 
- Purpose of Transmission: Explanation of why the documents are being sent, such as for review, approval, or information.
 
- Instructions or Actions Required: Any specific actions that the receiver needs to take, such as reviewing or commenting on the documents.
 
- Acknowledgment: A section for the receiver to acknowledge receipt of the transmittal, often including a date and signature.
