Detailed Review
BIMcollab sits between the authoring tools and the project team. Models are uploaded once to the WebViewer, checked in BIMcollab Zoom, and problems are handed on as BCF issues that appear again inside the authoring software.
The privacy statement names BIMcollab, Chamber of Commerce number 17076900, statutory name Kubus B.V., at Stuiverstraat 100 in Eindhoven. The contact page adds offices in Hasselt (Belgium) and Belgrade (Serbia) and says BIMcollab serves more than 150,000 users.
Platform parts
The platform page groups document management (document control and custom workflows), BIM coordination (issue management, Information Delivery Specifications, BCF managers) and model checking (clash management, smart properties, smart views, lists).
BIMcollab says it supports industry-standard file and API formats and publishes a developer SDK.
Plans and prices
The plans page lists Basic, Advanced and Enterprise per user per month, with a discount for annual commitment. Enterprise carries a contact-sales button, and Zoom licences and an education plan are listed separately.
Corporate profile

Limitations to Consider
BIMcollab coordinates and checks models but does not author them. Per-user pricing grows with team size, and the Enterprise plan is a sales conversation. Data location is not stated on the pages checked, and ownership above Kubus B.V. was not stated on those pages.
