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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. Project Information: Details of the project, including project name, reference number, and description.
  2. Sender and Receiver Information: Contact details of the person or organization sending and receiving the transmittal.
  3. Document List: A detailed list of all documents and models being transmitted, including file names, types, and versions.
  4. Purpose of Transmission: Explanation of why the documents are being sent, such as for review, approval, or information.
  5. Instructions or Actions Required: Any specific actions that the receiver needs to take, such as reviewing or commenting on the documents.
  6. Acknowledgment: A section for the receiver to acknowledge receipt of the transmittal, often including a date and signature.
