BIM Data Management – Agacad | Enabling Innovations Together

Get competitive advantage with complete building data management solutions from Agacad: powerful yet simple systems with support, services, and expert advice. Tailored to your situation.

Advanced technologies

We’re ahead of the industry with our methods and tools for precision exchange and classification of information. With that, you can then fully benefit from the latest building technologies, which all require the right data to deliver on their promises of more efficiency, ecology, and human well-being.

Real-needs focus

It pays to take a lean, practical approach to building information. Our style is clear purpose and extreme efficiency, eliminating whatever’s useless to a project’s people, systems, and machines. We offer smart content management, an innovative classification engine, and targeted data packaging.

Collaborative power

Building projects today require many people to communicate effectively. People in different places with different needs and systems: architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and the ultimate users of an edifice. A unified platform, common data environment and harmonized ‘language’ greatly help.

Quality assurance

True BIM technology is built into Agacad software for easy review, modification, and control of project data. You easily see if needed parameters are missing. Drawings and take-offs update automatically as a model evolves. That keeps data and documentation accurate and up to date.

Planning & design

Getting digital construction projects right from the design stage maximizes efficiency and potential savings. Good data management ensures actors have information that is complete, accurate and timely so that they can make sound design decisions. For functionality. For life-time energy efficiency and sustainability. For clash detection and resolution. Data sharing and visualizations help stakeholders spot errors and reconsider poor design choices early. Thus, quality information gets passed on for use in later project stages.

Automate routine analysis & drafting

Designers (architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers) get precise drawings and data straight from the 3D model for easy sharing with other stakeholders.

Improved productivity & quality

BIM managers enjoy increased productivity and higher project quality. In large part, that’s due to great coordination between different disciplines.

Forecast costs more accurately

Cost estimators forecast project costs better to find the most profitable design solutions. They also exchange information with contractors faster and more accurately.

Manage construction easily

Contractors and subcontractors more easily manage prefabrication planning and construction tasks. They save costs and resources and improve communication and collaboration. All this contributes to higher quality and better project results.

Be confident of your project results

Ultimate clients and project sponsors receive a digital prototype of their building to know early on what it will look like and cost. They can be confident that they will live or work in a precisely designed structure. Built without errors, on time and on budget.

Fabrication

BIM has enabled a surge in modular and prefabricated construction, where building modules and components are fully or partially manufactured off-site. A controlled factory environment facilitates efficiency gains, better quality control, and reduced energy use and waste. Agacad CNC Exporters automatically assemble framing members as modelled in Autodesk® Revit® and send the data to CNC machines and CAD/CAM production lines for flexible manufacturing.

Error reduction

Highly precise data is sent to machines for accurate production. That saves resources and avoids waste.

Enhanced quality control

For greater longevity and life-time energy efficiency.

Data directly to CNC

A paperless building process is made possible. Direct transmission of production data to CNC machines means there is no need to print drawings.

Stakeholders who benefit

CNC Machine Operators, Manufacturers of building modules and components, Production Managers, Warehouse Managers, Contractors, Ultimate Clients, and Project Sponsors all benefit from BIM-to-Fabrication with Agacad solutions.

Logistics

BIM enables better sequencing of building processes. It also provides more accurate take-offs to ensure delivery of the right materials at the right time. This eliminates unnecessary transport and storage (or waste) of materials and delays that extend work on site. Panel Packer is an Agacad toolset for sorting, packing and loading prefabricated building components. Accurate to 1 mm.

Error-proof link

The building model and its detailed data are digitally linked to logistics processes.

Efficient packing & transport planning

Means faster, less costly construction using less energy and producing less pollution and waste.

Stakeholders who benefit

Contractors, Site Managers, Warehouse Managers, Project Owners, Ultimate Clients and Project Sponsors all benefit from BIM-to-Construction Logistics with Agacad solutions.

Builders’ work

Good management of building information enables all those involved in the actual building work to confidently do their job well. Solutions also provide the data needed for other emerging building technologies with potential to further improve efficiency and reduce costs and waste: AR/VR applications, robotization of construction tasks and 3D printing, IoT uses and more.

Greater clarity

Builders have detailed, informative drawings and a 3D model to work from.

Fewer changes, less rework

That's what happens when you eliminate clashes and other errors upfront.

Easier coordination

When changes are needed, they're easy to carry out.

Stakeholders who benefit

Contractors and Subcontractors, Site Managers, Construction Supervisors, Other Construction Workers, Ultimate Clients and Project Sponsors all benefit from Agacad solutions at the building stage.

Operation & beyond

High-quality physical assets are made possible by precision design and execution. Plus, there are digital assets to hand over to owners: as-built models with the information to drive effective facility management and maintenance for years to come. And when, in the far future, the building is decommissioned, design optimization early in the project will maximize reusability and recyclability.

High performance

Functionality and aesthetics, durability and longevity, energy efficiency and general sustainability.

Emerging tech

Smart facility management systems and future AI systems can tap into the required building data.

Minimized environmental impact

Over a building’s operating lifetime of operations through to eventual demolition.

Stakeholders that benefit

Owners, Ultimate Clients, Project Sponsors, Occupants, Facility Managers, Maintenance Teams, Society and the Planet all benefit from solutions by Agacad at the operations stage. And beyond.
