Autodesk is integrating Field BIM Software Suite from Vela Systems with Navisworks. The idea is that the building model displayed by Navisworks gets coordinated with the construction site.
Using Vela Systems software with bar-codes and RFID [radio-frequency
identification] tracking, builders can access the Navisworks model on the the construction site.

This makes it possible to track material production and installation, manage commissioning, conduct quality assurance/quality control inspections, do punch lists and create electronic owner-handover documentation.
A contractor used the technology to track computer workstations during the construction of Autodesk's new AEC headquarters to gain these benefits:
- Inventory of available workstations was confirmed against the model.
- Staging, assembly, and installation of workstations was tracked using color coding.
- Final inspection and owner punch lists were automated in the field.
