VDC and Work Packages in Project Controls

by InEight | Feb 9, 2023

Though project controls encompass 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 construction,...

What Is Digital Engineering?

Digital engineering is digitizing the traditional ways of managing and delivering projects in order to improve schedule, budget, quality and cost efficiencies. Those gained efficiencies are then supported by the data captured throughout a project’s life cycle. Digital engineering is often confused with building information modeling (BIM). While BIM is an important part of it, […]

Day-One Project Visibility With Today’s Best Modeling Tech

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. If there are models to work from, there may be pushback from […]

What Is Building Information Modeling (BIM)?

Building information modeling (BIM), at a basic level, is a 3D modeling process that incorporates all the data associated with each element within the model and is used by project team members to collaborate on the design, construction and post-build operations of the structure. What can BIM do for you? BIM lets you virtually […]

Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to Improve Construction Project Efficiencies

Building information modeling software (BIM) is commonly thought of as simply a way to generate detailed digital 3D models. But that’s like using a smartphone just to make phone calls. To fully appreciate all that BIM has to offer, we need to move beyond any one-dimensional views of this technology. Only a true life cycle […]

What to Look for When Buying Building Information Modeling (BIM) Software

As building information modeling (BIM) gradually becomes an industry norm, more construction companies will find themselves in the market to procure their own solution in order to remain competitive. But just as no two construction companies are alike, neither are BIM solutions. As with any major purchase or investment, the most expensive option may not […]

Seeing Reality: The Digital Thread and Digital Twin

Capital project completion has traditionally focused on the successful handover of the project being built by the contractor to the owner. But with the emergence of the digital thread and digital twin, another layer of project realism has been added to the entire handover process. Although these digital tools are relatively new to the construction […]
