Project Snapshot
Category | Description |
Client Type | AEC Engineering Consultancy |
Sector | Airport Project |
Platform / Software | Autodesk Revit, BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), Ze’Manage |
Automation Partner | ZestineTech |
Key Outcome | Elimination of idle ownership locks, zero manual sync tracking, and an 80% reduction in QA rework via Ze’Manage. |
Problem Statement
During active multi-user BIM coordination, several engineers work for long duration without synchronization or relinquishing borrowed elements. As coordination process increases, other team members face constant ownership conflicts, editing restrictions and total uncertainly regarding the latest model updates, creating severe bottlenecks in live coordination.
Impacts of Challenges:
· Locked elements from inactive sessions stall our workflows, causing a 25% schedule slippage.
· Unpredictable quality lowers stakeholder trust in our ability to hit deadlines.
· Missed family warnings and out-of-sync models trap our team in exhausting 35% rework cycles.
· Managers waste 10 to 12 hours weekly on manual checks instead of guiding us.
ZestineTech – How We Solved It
Strategy: Treats active collaboration as a dynamic data pipeline requiring continuous background optimization and immediate asset relinquishment.
Execution: Performs automatic background syncing and instantly relinquishes borrowed elements after synchronization and helps team work smoothly by preventing ownership conflicts and coordination delays.
Integration: Operates seamlessly and transparently across active user profiles without modifying standard modelling commands.
Project Timeline
Ze’Manage Sync & Relinquish Automation significantly reduced ownership conflicts and Coordination delays across our project team. By automating synchronization and ownership release, we reduced collaboration bottlenecks by approximately 90%, enabling faster coordination cycles and smoother project delivery.
Delivered:
· Ze’Manage Auto-Sync Module: Enterprise cloud licensing for live environments.
· Custom Profile Logic: Tailored sync intervals matching asset scale and bandwidth.
· Centralized Ownership Panel: Control console giving managers clear model activity visibility.
· SOPs & Training Library: Interactive guides and asynchronous resources for rapid onboarding.

Before vs After – Measurable Difference
Performance Metrics | Before Ze’Manage | With Ze’Manage | Improvements |
Element Ownership Lock Duration | 2–4 Hours | <10 Minutes | ↓95% Reduction |
Ownership Conflicts per Week | 20–25 Conflicts | 2–3 Conflicts | ↓90% Reduction |
Manual Conflict Resolution Effort | 10 Hours / Week | 0.5 Hours / Week | ↓95% Reduction |
BIM Coordination Throughput | 100 Tasks / Week | 150 Tasks / Week | ↑50% Productivity Gain |
Why ZestineTech
At ZestineTech, we combine BIM domain expertise with intelligent automation to solve operational challenges before they impact project delivery. Our Ze’Manage framework seamlessly handles high-frequency synchronization and ownership management in the background, eliminating hidden workflow inefficiencies and reducing administrative overhead. By transforming lost coordination time into productive billable hours, we help clients improve collaboration, accelerate delivery, and protect project margins.
Client Outcome
Before Ze’Manage, multi-user tracking was a major headache, with locked elements stalling workflows and forcing managers to waste over 10 hours a week chasing ownership. ZestineTech completely erased this friction through Auto-Sync and Auto-Relinquish. Live models now stay consistently updated, dropping editing conflicts by 90% and boosting our coordination speed by 50% during peak delivery stages.
