Estimating and tendering
- Element-wise quantities from the model instead of scaled take-offs
- Faster, defensible rate build-ups
- Clear identification of scope gaps before quoting
Planning execution
- Sequence checks floor by floor and zone by zone
- Formwork and shuttering planning against actual geometry
- Material call-off aligned to the pour schedule
On site
- Clash-free service routes, so chasing and cutting drop
- 3D views for briefing masons, bar benders and plumbers
- One current drawing set, with revisions tracked
Claims and records
- Changes recorded against dated model revisions
- Quantities before and after a variation, from the same source
