MIT's scheduling and project
controls consultants are equipped to provide proactive
and forensic consulting services utilizing the latest construction
management technology. ConstructSim is another tool
MIT's project consultants use to communicate, plan, and analyze
a projects' scope and schedule while the project is ongoing.
Developed by Commonpoint,
Inc., ConstructSim is an advanced project planning
and updating tool that integrates a projects' cost and schedule
into 3D drawings to allow MIT's consultants to effectively
plan and execute work throughout the construction process.
By integrating a projects' costs and schedule throughout its
duration, MIT is able to identify and mitigate current and
future potential delays
and cost overruns from occurring.
Some of the benefits in utilizing ConstructSim are the
following:
Improved
Project Organization
User Defined Groups can re-organize the imported CAD model based on User specifications
Substantially improves the ability of an EPC firm to
make the transition from construction by areas to systems
for testing and turnover
Link Project Schedule to model components
Mitigates
Defective Work & Delays through Improved Visualization
Improved decision making through an ability to visually monitor construction status against the project schedule
Enables greater control over the scheduling and monitoring of design and procurement activities to meet the needs of construction and operations sequencing
Reduced rework by enabling the project team to catch mistakes in the virtual model prior to the release of work to the field
Increases
Productivity through Effective Planning
Streamlines the planning and management of systems turnover and testing
Reduces time and costs associated with performing material take-offs and translating construction documents into action
ConstructSim increases productivity through the generation and sequencing of optimal work packages at a crew level
Improved communication and coordination with fabricators on priorities and onsite delivery
Timely
Means of Reporting Cost Information
Enables the project team to rapidly produce detailed and accurate estimates of labor and cost as design data becomes available
A flexible reporting system can display information about User Defined Groups
