Coordination Strategies in a Hard Bid Scenario

In an environment where there are smaller projects with plenty of bidders under a hard bid edict, it’s imperative that you remain competitive. How can you better understand the project before you enter your bid?

Vico Services, the professional BIM consulting arm of Vico Software, has developed a new methodology for coordination of time and space based on our experience with over 300 global 5D BIM projects.

What:	Mastering Coordination and Constructability in a Hard Bid
When:	Friday, November 13 at 12 Noon Eastern
Where:	a free online webinar series

It’s easy to think that you’re done with BIM after you’ve run a clash detection. But in actuality, the true BIM has just begun. Not only do you need to organize objects in space, but you also have to organize the project timeline. These RFIs turn into Change Orders which greatly impact the duration and cost of your project. We’ll illustrate how to best manage the coordination process to iron out constructability and scheduling issues earlier rather than later.

When we hear the word “clash,” we are more likely to think about pipes running into HVAC cutting through a floor. That certainly is one very important definition. But Vico proposes there are many other types of clashes. We’ll look specifically at misalignment issues discovered in Doc Set Manager and resolved in the 3D model. Then we’ll take a look at scheduling clashes: too many crews in the same space and crew size/duration issues that lead to conflicts. Leveraged integration of coordination creates more opportunities to develop a better bid and a better schedule - true differentiators in a hard bid world.

This webinar is for you and your firm if:
>> Hard bids have become the de facto bidding process in your market;
>> You want to develop hard bid strategies quickly, but might not have time to
     develop a BIM;
>> You know you’ll discover change orders during the project, but you want to
     find them sooner;
>> You understand that coordination is more than polygonal clash detection;
>> You want to learn from a Services Team who has run over 300 successful
     coordination projects, from the first drawing to the final brick.
>> You understand that good software is critical, but best practices distinguish you from
     the other bidders; and constructability analysis versus clash detection is key.

And as with all our Fridays with Vico sessions, we'll include case studies, ROI, and plenty of time for Q&A.

Please be sure for forward along this invitation to your team.
