Field feedback for BIM coordinators

The field feedback your model needs

As a BIM coordinator, you work with precise information: the federated model, coordination issues, the workflows in your CDE. Everything ordered, everything traceable.

And then there’s the site. What actually happens out there reaches you late and in poor shape: a WhatsApp photo, a voice note from the site manager, something scribbled down and typed up by hand later. Between what happens in the field and what enters your process there’s a gap — and that gap is where context gets lost and errors creep in.

This page is about closing that gap. And it starts with an honest clarification about what PinMy is and isn’t.

What PinMy is (and isn’t) for a BIM coordinator

Let’s be clear from the start, because your time is worth it:

PinMy is not a BIM tool. It doesn’t replace your CDE, and it’s not where you’ll coordinate the federated model. PinMy works on PDF plans, sheets exported from the model, site photos and videos — and on 3D IFC models, with one honest caveat: a pin is anchored to a point in 3D space, not linked to a BIM element. There’s no BCF, no element data, no model versioning. If your workflow depends on those, PinMy isn’t that tool.

What PinMy is: the field capture layer. The tool the site team uses to record what they see — on the sheet, on a photo, or on the model — in a structured, located, dated way, so that feedback reaches your process clean, not as a loose voice note in a group chat.

The gap between the model and the site

The model tells you how it should be. The site tells you how it is. Closing the distance between the two depends on the quality of the feedback coming up from the field.

When that feedback arrives as photos with no location and scattered messages, you — or the site manager — have to reconstruct it: where was this? what does it refer to? who saw it, and when? PinMy makes that feedback born structured: every finding is a pin at the exact point on the sheet, with photo, voice and date.

How it fits into your workflow

The idea is simple: PinMy handles the capture phase, your CDE handles the rest.

1. The field team opens the sheet (PDF), a photo, or the IFC model on their phone.
2. They drop each issue as a pin at its exact point, with voice or photo. Voice is transcribed in 20+ languages.
3. That issue is located, dated and attributed — ready for you to take into your coordination process.

The result: less “where was this?” and more time on what a coordinator actually does.

It lives alongside your CDE — it doesn’t replace it

If your company already uses Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM 360, Procore or another platform, PinMy doesn’t compete with that. It makes the field capture phase faster and more precise before that data reaches your main platform.

For small and medium teams without a corporate CDE, PinMy is often the only field tool they need. For those who do have one, it’s the complement that improves what goes in.
