Today’s sophisticated capital projects must make heavy use of real-time data and advanced technologies to deliver on agreed-upon quality, cost and schedule outcomes. The digital twin, a real-time 3D virtual representation of an asset used to analyze and predetermine project behavior over time, is a natural fit. Entering the mainstream industry consciousness over 20 years […]
As capital projects become more complex, we know that managing these costly assets means bringing crucial data together in new and better ways. One of these is through the creation of digital twins, permanent 3D replicas that serve as virtual snapshots of deliverables. Their value is already being realized on a global scale. The Victorian government, […]
Though project controls encompasses an assortment of actions and activities throughout the life cycle of a project, projects of today are not the same as yesterday. The familiar topics covered, such as cost management, virtual design and construction, planning, scheduling and risk are now more complex with additional demands. These demands touch many project aspects […]
The term project controls encompasses a wide breadth of actions and activities that take place from the very beginning of a project to the very end. There are many familiar topics that can be covered in project controls like cost management, virtual design and construction, planning, scheduling and risk, capital and contract management, field execution, […]
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has rapidly become a critical component and, in some aspects, mandated to protect the integrity of planning, designing and the construction of buildings to ensure efficiency and collaboration. Why is BIM so important? Keep reading as we further explore everything BIM, including the benefits, the various levels, how BIM supports job […]
As capital projects become more complex, visibility into these projects remains largely obscured for the industry, costing construction companies and project owners in wasted time, money and resources. Traditionally speaking, a substantial portion of the problem centers around the lack of appropriate models. Models provide insights and a transparency that simply cannot be otherwise experienced […]
