Conceptual Design

The tall skyscrapers we see and the roads we take every day  came from  ideas. Ideas that are developed throughout the entire construction process.

Gone are the days of manual and time-consuming drafting. Now, more and more firms are embracing Building Information Modelling (BIM).

What is BIM?

Building Information Modelling, widely known as BIM today is a 3D model-based process that gives Architecture, Engineering and Construction professional the power to plan, design, construct and manage better and intelligent buildings and infrastructure.

The first dimension of the construction process focuses on the over-all design - Architecture, MEP and Structure, your true intent. Design ideas do not pop out-of-blue and it's important to work with tools that will support designers in the conceptualization phase. Then comes the details.

Accuracy in design and structure is very important because the proceeding processes of construction relies on your model.  It's better to detect errors, conflicts and clashes earlier on than deal with them on the most crucial stages of construction.

All design and engineering teams should work and collaborate synchronously from the very beginning to avoid design conflicts in other aspects of construction that usually result to the disruption of the original time schedule ,plan and budget for the specific project. 

Simple tasks like file naming, versioning, revision and error update, mark-ups and coordination among all project- stakeholders, superintendents, project managers, construction managers, subcontractors, project engineers and design teams could all be done seamlessly if you have the right tools.

Staying True to your Design

The way you communicate with your project teams is not the same with the language you use to with your clients and stakeholders.

Here's what more interesting for them than looking at your 3D model:  Actual and Realistic interactions with your design.

With all the advances in technology that are being developed today,  presentation of ideas are now made more interactive and closer to real life letting you explore design environment with actual lightings, characters, navigating doors and windows and other aspects that make you feel that you are really present on the design environment.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The second phase focuses on the time component of construction.  It's all about handling small to large scale, multifaceted and complicated projects efficiently.

It has always been a challenge to accomplish construction projects in the right timeframe especially if you are conducting through the usual and traditional project scheduling techniques.

We are now in the modern age of project management. This means  Insight Driven, Collaborative and People Centric Management Organization.

Timing is everything. As efficient project managers and planners, you must be able to identify which projects to prioritize and intelligently manage them all throughout the lifecycle process and be able to accurately forecast all costs, schedules and resource demands.

It is of utmost importance to be well informed of all the updates on a specific project so you could adjust and take effective/intelligent actions.

Real time visibility on your project + real time response = Project Success

COST ESTIMATION

The fifth element is all about your construction figures.

One of the main goals of effective construction management is finishing your project on-budget, or even below your budget estimates.

In able to achieve this, accuracy in project estimates for materials, equipment and manpower is important.

When you work with a detailed model and structure, analyzing costs for all construction-related activities as well as impacts of sudden changes in the over-all budget will be a lot easier to handle and manage.

All of this must be done in real-time.  Having said this, estimators must step out from the traditional cost estimating methods and be more systematic in estimating and quantity takeoff.

A critical phase requires a real-time and efficient solution. Know more about our Cost Estimation Solutions.

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

The job doesn't stop upon the construction. 

Once the structure is built, you have to think of your resources- space and assets, and as well as the changes and impacts that your structure will face from time to time.

With the help of your 3D models, these tasks could all be done with great ease.  The right and accurate information on every part of your model could help manage and utilize all the available spaces and track your assets quickly.

Confidence in your design is confidence in the structure's performance.  It is certain that your building will get through a lot of changes caused by different natural and man-made phenomena and other events through time and with this, an accurate energy performance analysis must be done.

In this dynamic world, monitoring and inspections should be done regularly and conflicts and defects must be dealt on quickly. Productivity is achieved when all the people working on a project are in synced and updated in real-time.

The best performances are the result of seamless processes. All the innovative solutions that are being introduced in the modern times are telling us that all our work could be done in more efficient ways.

 

Collaboration in the Cloud

The "Internet of Things" is taking over all the communication platforms leading to a silo-free and more efficient way of connecting to project teams involved in a particular project.

The Power of the Cloud is providing a lot of easier ways to collaborate and arrive at intelligent decisions on all the phases of construction- across different workplaces and time zones.
