System Requirements for the Vico Office Suite
Vico Office is an award-winning suite of products designed specifically for general contractors and owners. Vico Office is the first integrated construction management solution with a unique BIM-neutral environment. This means that users can publish, combine, coordinate, and aument Revit, Tekla, ArchiCAD, CAD-Duct models, and even IFC files with 4D scheduling and 5D estimating data.
So for example, we can synthesize the architectural model from Revit, the structural steel model from Tekla, and the MEP model from CAD-Duct. We can coordinate the models after running an element-based clash detection, fix any problems before construction starts with streamlined constructability issue handling, and then perform a comprehensive quantity takeoff. These coordinated construction-caliber quantities drive a much more precise schedule and estimate. And if at any time the design changes, the model is updated, and the quantities automatically reflect the changes so the schedule and estimate are also up-to-date.
Now you can start "asking questions of the 5D model." What happens if we change the facade to glass? What happens to the schedule if we add a parking garage? What happens if we substitute this material for that materials? In real-time, the model provides the answers of what happens to the schedule and what happens to the budget.
Here are the current system requirements for Vico Office, along with our recommendations for the configuration.
