Use Cases
Global Urban Planning & Virtual BIM
Goal: Reducing costs and increasing engagement in the Architecture and Construction Industry
A Global Dilemma
- Millions can be lost due to coordination failures on large construction projects when different stakeholders are required at different times
- Gaining engagement and buy-in from citizens in planning is difficult and critical for on-budget, on-time construction projects. Engaging citizens upfront can reduce costs.
- In-person Planning meetings cannot deliver high % participation for the citizens or keep citizens aware of construction progress, road changes, and other critical topics is key to success and safety.
- It is not possible to “experience” the architecture via a 2D drawings, presentations or miniature models, which can be very costly and are not easily modifiable – this goes for owners, construction professionals and the Citizens too!
