Get a private BIMcollab Nexus space

Once the test went well and you are convinced BIMcollab can help your BIM projects to become more efficient and fruitful, you can buy the same nexus space and continue to work on it seamlessly. The BIMcollab Nexus space is a subscription with a monthly or yearly payment option. You can start with a Essential, Premium or Ultimate plan with a minimum of 10 users and later on you can easily upgrade or downgrade your subscription, depending on your changing needs with our flexible payment options.

If you click on "Buy now" on your Nexus Trial space, you are directed to BIMcollab Webshop and you can add or adjust your favorite BIMcollab products (1), number of users/licenses (2), the type of plan or license (3), the desired payment period (4) and immediately see the changes to plans and and prices in the summary section (6). You want to see the price in a different currency? you can change that from the right top corner of the page (5). Go through all the steps in the Webshop to complete the purchase. 


Once you purchase this space, your Trial space will transition to a private BIMcollab Nexus space within a few minutes. You can log in with the same credentials to the same url (example.bimcollab.com). Your test project will be available in the new private space, allowing you to continue where you left off.



If you opt for a lower plan, such as Premium or Essentials: Since the Trial space is based on the Ultimate plan, please review the features of the various plans to ensure you don't miss out on any functionalities important for your workflow.
The Trial space has a capacity for 100 users. If you choose to have fewer users in your private space, make sure to deactivate the users who will no longer be part of the space.
