Understanding the Basics of CAPEX, SUSCAP and OPEX

by InEight | Jun 20, 2023

Each capital project involves multiple types of financial outlay. Those expenses can fall into one of several classifications, with some of the more common ones being capital expenditures (CAPEX), sustaining capital projects (SUSCAP) and operating...

The What and Why of Hard and Soft Clash Detection

Clash detection has come a long way. Long before 3D models were a thing, we were identifying design issues by executing a manual check of design drawings. Though this manual process was satisfactory, it was not nearly as effective as today’s advanced 3D software where you can pull all of your disciplines into one model, […]

For example, when construction companies migrated from paper-based project management practices to computer spreadsheets, there was pushback. Then once everyone became comfortable with computer spreadsheets, along came industry-specific point solutions and the promises of more efficiencies, and […]

Leveraging the Real-Time Value of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology

Even before the first crews arrive at the jobsite, a good deal of meticulous planning has already gone into each multifaceted capital project to ensure it doesn’t go over budget, fall behind schedule or venture out of scope. As with any construction project, though, things often change as new information becomes available or […]
