It might seem daunting, time consuming & prohibitive for smaller practices, to implement BIM. Not with Driving Vision!
Working in the cloud came into its own in 2020. With so many of us working remotely maintaining inhouse hardware became complex. One Engineering consultancy told us that they had been offline for 3 days last May because the only person who knew how to reset the servers was isolating. The costs of keeping I.T. up to date is prohibitive for many smaller organisations, and there is always the need to have someone dedicated to managing it.
The big difference between construction and many other industries is the degree to which key team members are remote from the office. This has always been the case, but with the increased reliance on drawings, documents, and now meetings managed in Cyberspace, having a business system that is designed to operate in diverse locations and on a wide range of devices is more important than ever. When working on site, being able to seamlessly connect with the store of project information saves a lot of time and improves communication and speed up answering queries on a project.
Collaboration has, again, always been a part of the construction industry. Site meetings are now virtual more often than physical. With multiple stakeholders dialling into a conference from across the world potentially, being able to call up project drawings or show clients and other project partners around a 3D visualisation of a proposed building is best achieved using reliable cloud computing. In the same way as website loading speed has become one of the critical indicators of performance so viewing and interacting with project data and colleagues needs to be swift and seamless.
The cloud works for your budget n two main ways. By having the option to scale up or down as needed a business will only pay for the storage space and computing power used. The investment in costly servers, and the rooms and cooling to service them, high grade desktop or laptop computers to run the software and the need to upgrade regularly put a strain on any company’s budget. The other way it can support budget is through better communication between site where goods are ordered and delivered and the finance office where they are paid for. Communicating price changes, discrepancies and changes in work schedules can save time and money.
Driving Vision’s Flexicloud is cloud computing for all your planning, visualisation and administration tasks. Whether you are running CAD 3D rendering software, a general management tool such as Procore or working with our BIM management partners Plannerly there will always be power and space to spare. Having the same service available on PC, Mac, Smartphone or tablet means you will never be out of touch. Taking away the expenditure of an inhouse I.T. system and adding the convenience of improved communication, collaboration and cost control frees up valuable time to focus on project work, and adds immediately to the bottom line on every piece of work you carry out.
