One practical example

You are the contractor and want to work model-based, but receive only 2D drawings? We build the model, for new builds and existing buildings alike, and help you work with it. Shown here on a detached house.

Modelling

The situation

You want to work model-based, but the design side delivers no usable model, only 2D drawings. Or: you work on an existing building and have photos and laser scans to go on.

What we do

We build the model from drawings, photos or laser scans, for execution on new builds as well as for existing buildings, as an open IFC file.1

Drag or use arrow keys to rotate

Using the model

4D construction sequence and 5D costs over time

The situation

Schedule and costs live in separate lists.

What we do

We link elements to activities and prices: sequence and costs run together.

Drag to rotate

5D costs over the construction time

so far €0 of €450,000

Example values, not a cost estimate.

Schedule

Quantities from the model instead of counting on paper

The situation

Quantities are counted from the plan with a ruler and a highlighter.

What we do

The quantities come straight from the model. Pick a row.

Checking rules that run by themselves

The situation

Narrow doors or dark rooms only show up on site.

What we do

Checking rules run through the model, each hit becomes a task in BCF format.2

Rules

  • Door clear width at least 0.90 m (wheelchair accessible)3
  • Window area at least 1/8 of the floor area (living rooms)4
  • Stair: 2 risers + 1 going between 59 and 65 cm (62.3 cm)5
  • Stair: opening above the whole flight5

Tasks

Not checked yet.

Example rules. Which rules apply to you depends on project, client and local building code.

Defects on the tablet instead of in a spreadsheet

The situation

The defect list is a spreadsheet, the photos are stuck in WhatsApp.

What we do

A form on your own server: tap the spot, pick the trade, attach a photo.

Tap the floor plan to record a defect.

Defects

No defects recorded yet.
