    FRAMEWORK: HOW DO WE DO IT?

    AN INTEGRATED APPROACH DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGY

    We employ Autodesk Revit as the foundation of our process, creating detailed models that encompass all disciplines necessary for our client's project construction. This enables us to generate deliverables under a federated model with rigorous quality controls, ensuring accuracy and compliance with specifications.

    We utilize Autodesk Navisworks for installation coordination through clash detection to optimize efficiency and precision. This tool allows us to identify and resolve potential interference issues between different project elements early, thereby avoiding delays and additional costs during the construction phase.

    With Autodesk Construction Cloud, we harness the power of the cloud to centralize information and foster online collaboration among interdisciplinary teams. This platform enables us to access real-time updated data, enhance communication, and optimize project management.
