What if instead of hundreds or thousands of PDF files, we could just receive few specifications and an enriched design-intent model as masterpiece of a tender bid? This is not science fiction and has been happening everywhere. Of course, this is a wise way to deliver enriched information when compared with 2D lines allowing several interpretations and dozens of RFIs.
The beauty of this measure is not only the enhanced visibility of the issued solution for construction, but as well the flexibility for many interpretations and approaches of ‘how to make it happen’, following the model. Not even the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) needs to be provided, since the bidder can have direct access to that information inside the model and manage it as per its strategy.
In a nutshell, the contractor has the ability to manipulate the information within the model, and access to a fantastic tool to improve the creativity and increase its competitiveness through a better comprehension of the design intentions and to an early optimization of planning, logistics, construction processes, procurement and others.
And what is the final result? The enhanced certainty and comfort of the contractor about the final delivery is the best way to the first of many savings at the owner's account, through the facility life-cycle.
