| BIM software solution for construction management Getting more value out of building information modeling (BIM) for the owners and contractors of construction projects has lead Tekla Corporation to expand its Tekla Structures solution offering. Upcoming for launch in 2008, Tekla Structures for Construction Management is a platform of information-model-based solutions that supports contractors, sub-contractors, and project management professionals by centralizing project data into a visual 3 and 4-dimensional context. Schedule and cost control can be realized by an effective and informed communication and decision-making process that results from managing the fragmented nature of both project planning and performance data. "The Tekla model can be used to model the whole process from project planning to site management, i.e. to plan and schedule the structures, quantities and resources", says Mr. Heikki Haikonen, Director of the Contractor Segment at Tekla. "Project managers can visualize the building in its as-built condition, locate the task in the building, and show their team the exact way to proceed." "Tekla models are extremely rich in building geometry, properties, and level of detail. They also provide the opportunity to store extensive amounts of data, from pre-construction through construction phases, in our visual 3-dimensional environment", adds Mr. Stacy Scopano, Business & Product Development Manager at Tekla, Inc. "Globally projects have a number of engineers and fabrication sub-contractors producing high quality models, and these tools will help contractors leverage these deliverables further in the Construction Management practice", he points out. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
