BIM Integration and Enhanced GLOOBE Functionality

「Against the backdrop of changes in the market environment, including the launch of BIM drawing inspections in April 2026, new installations for major construction companies and expansions for existing customers progressed, resulting in substantial growth in software sales.」

「For the GLOOBE Architect BIM architectural design system, we developed a data output function that ensures consistency among the application-related output and input standards document required at the time of application, IFC data and application drawings, in preparation for BIM drawing confirmation applications beginning in April 2026.」

「In the BIM business, new implementations of BIM-related products also increased against the backdrop of growing interest in the BIM confirmation application system scheduled to begin in April 2026.」

「In addition, GLOOBE Construction, a construction BIM support system, was enhanced with the Construction Details function for interior, exterior and fittings work, as well as the Ceiling Layout Drawings function specializing in ceiling layouts and ceiling inserts, improving operational efficiency to support a broader range of construction work.」

「In the BIM business, the release of GLOOBE 2024 in May 2024, with a rollout leveraging the strengths of a Japanese BIM system, led to the acquisition of new users.」

「GLOOBE Construction's structural planning and temporary works planning functions, which are essential to core building construction, were enhanced, shortening work hours at construction sites. Structural planning was enhanced for concrete construction components, improving the accuracy of quantity calculations. For temporary works planning, scaffolding data from 8 major domestic manufacturers was registered, enabling the creation of BIM models using actual data and improving estimating accuracy.」

「In the BIM business, strengthening construction BIM to improve productivity increased new implementations at construction companies, resulting in higher software revenue year on year.」

「In the BIM business, the release of GLOOBE 2023 in March 2023 strengthened construction BIM, leading to an increase in new users and higher software revenue year on year.」

「The GLOOBE series of BIM architectural design and construction support systems was updated as GLOOBE 2023 in March 2023, with enhanced functions for construction sites to help realize the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's goals of improving productivity and reforming work practices in the construction industry. We also newly launched the GLOOBE Point-Cloud Assist Option, which enables simple processing and editing of 3D point-cloud data imported from 3D laser scanners, LiDAR and other sources.」

「The GLOOBE series of BIM architectural design and construction support systems was significantly enhanced with functions useful at construction sites and updated as the GLOOBE 2022 series in February 2022.」

「The GLOOBE series of BIM architectural design and construction support systems was updated in November 2020 as the GLOOBE 2021 series to prepare the environment for the wider adoption of BIM/CIM in design, construction and maintenance and the use of three-dimensional data. GLOOBE Architect was made compatible with design BIM, with enhanced functions for the revised Building Standards Act and photorealistic computer graphics. GLOOBE Construction was made compatible with construction BIM, and temporary works planning and earthwork planning were released as new products.」

「We also added a cloud-enabled team design system that allows multiple members to work on the same project, and released GLOOBE 2020 in November 2019.」

「For the GLOOBE BIM architectural design system, we enhanced functions aligned with practical workflows toward realizing BIM confirmation applications using GLOOBE models, taking advantage of the Building Standards Act functions that are a strength of Japanese BIM systems. We also added a function for importing point-cloud data, anticipating expanded use of data on surrounding terrain and existing structures captured by UAVs, 3D laser scanners and other devices, and released the system as GLOOBE 2019 in October 2018.」

「In October, the company also released GLOOBE2019. It was among the first to incorporate integration with 3D point-cloud data and supports the BIM/CIM collaboration promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It also expanded the product lineup by adding a BIM confirmation application function, among other features, drawing on the strengths of a domestically developed system.」

「For the GLOOBE BIM architectural design system, we enhanced presentation functions for design comparisons, 4D simulations, VR and rendering for major and smaller general contractors and design firms, and upgraded the system as GLOOBE 2018 in September 2017 to promote the benefits of three-dimensional design.」

「For the GLOOBE BIM architectural design system, we enhanced BIM integration to broaden the scope of BIM data utilization, strengthened drawing creation and 3D expressiveness, and upgraded the system as GLOOBE 2017 in September 2016.」
