Gehry Technologies (GT) has created a cloud-based 3D, file management and project collaboration platform purpose-built for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry professionals and building owners.
The company, which opened an office in Sydney in 2011 as part of its international expansion, says its new GTeam software will help project teams collaborate, synchronize, and share data and files from anywhere.
The company is now offering a free preview availability of GTeam.
The new software enables project teams, including architects, designers, engineers, contractors, consultants, and building owners, to easily collaborate and share documents, files, and 3D building information data from any device with a web browser.
Project teams use GTeam to reach consensus faster, reduce change orders, save time, get more work, and reduce project costs. Owners and large enterprises with one or many buildings under management can also use GTeam as a centralized BIM data storage platform to easily identify, consolidate, and organize as-built documents of all existing and future buildings.
“My team and I rely on a technology-driven approach that is deeply rooted in collaboration to rationalize our design, fabrication, and construction processes,” says Frank Gehry, founder of Gehry Partners, LLP and co-founder of Gehry Technologies.
“I am proud to have contributed to the creation of technology that will facilitate better communication and collaboration in building.”
Unlike other collaboration solutions, GTeam has been developed with an open platform that enables collaboration regardless of the authoring tools being used by the individual participants.

It automatically translates 3D files from industry-standard software (such as AutoCAD, Revit, Digital Project, Rhino, and SketchUp) to a common format, allowing teams to easily use and share 3D BIM models for visualization and coordination even with project personnel who do not have the native modeling software.
Users can open multiple models together in the same viewer and filters can be used to display select parts of the model. Its advanced online 3D features include clash detection, live sectioning, measuring and onboard custom reporting of BIM data—helping teams quickly get the most out of 3D project models.
