A fully integrated suite of tools for cost estimation with document parsing, basic modelling, auto routing, MTO, requisition, cost basis using public and private data sources, reports and executive summary with automated workflows, consistency checks and audit trails.
Parse PDFs and other documents. Use Query AI to get relevant answers from the documents.
Use Model Builder to layout structures, equipment and racks with real-time clash checks.
Quickly route large piping lines and cable trays without clashes using the Pipe and Tray Router.
Use Smart MTO to generate MTOs for alternative routings generated by the Pipe and Tray Router.
Use Cost API to compile costs from public and private data sources for generated MTOs.
Use mD to generate datasheets for vendor requisition with only details that have a cost implication.
Configure agents to send emails to qualifying vendors where costs are unavailable in the Cost API.
Smart Reports generate standard and custom reports for MTOs, Costs, Audits and Monitoring.
FCE integrates historical costs and current economic data to enable smart decision making.
Flows, an AI agent automates workflows, identifies bottlenecks and recommends solutions.
Check AI enables real-time or scheduled consistency checks to avoid last minute surprises.
Every element's creation, modification, cost basis and back calculations can be traced to every step.
Our features are designed to enhance your productivity and streamline your workflow.
The Model Builder provides complete plant access to every user, only limited by their access rights. This enables optimal license management. Ideal for managers, reviewers and approvers.
Clash check is run immediately after a new element is added to the model. This clash check includes elements from all layers in the model. A dedicated clash-check session is no longer needed.
Comments can be added to each element of the model. These comments can form the basis of activity around the element enabling coordinated and faster finalisation. This is especially useful in a distributed environment.
Wherever suitable the suite of tools is available as a web / mobile app. This allows its use across a variety of oparating systems and mobile devices. The Model Builder is only available for desktop operating systems.
The complete workflow around model creation is handled seamlessly allowing creation, review and approval cycle to be automated and documented. Change basis is also documented via comments which follow the same cycle.
Provide users with detailed analytics and insights into the performance of the project, identify bottlenecks and suggest corrective measures. This enables streamlining project activites, saving resources, costs and time.
Navigate to the URL of the project or open the Model Builder app. The default model will be loaded. It includes a perspective camera, ambient light and a workspace to start building.
Click the Add button in the app. Create a group to link elements together. Add a mesh to this group. A mesh is an element that combines a geometry and material. Once a mesh is created, update its properties and materials.
Once civil structures, equipment, pipe and cable racks have been added to the model, it is ready for Auto Routing. Auto Routing takes a list of pipes and trays that need to be routed. Each row in this list will include a source, destination and a constraint list. Our algorithm then routes these elements based on this list, offering multiple routing options, wherever available, ensuring there are no clashes.
After creating a model it can be saved using the File > Save option. The model is saved as a json (JavaScript Object Notation) file. This file can be shared with others using the app and loaded using the File > Open option.
Vendor requisition requires a vendor list and micro datasheets. It also requires the email server to be configured with the details of the sender. All replies to these requisition emails will be auto forwarded. Sending can be set up to be automatic or manual.
Audit trails can be run on elements in the model, MTO and cost basis. Navigate to the element in the relevant app, right click on it and request for an audit trail. All activites related to the element will be listed chronologically. Read-only access ensures integrity of the trail.
