Vico software Constructor is a dedicated construction modeling application that enables creation and analysis of highly detailed virtual construction models. Constructor 2008 helps you solve constructibility and coordination issues between disciplines, improve team communication and integrate design, cost and scheduling data.

Vico Constructor modeling tools cover architectural, structural and MEP modeling, allowing you to create a true Virtual Building Model of your project. Serving as hub of the Virtual Construction suite, Constructor enables swift and highly accurate model-based quantity takeoff and schedule information. This data is efficiently handled by Vico Estimator to generate cost estimate and by Vico Control to create project schedules. The synchronized data can be analyzed and project progress can be simulated using Vico Software 5D Presenter. Vico Softeware integrated solutions helps building owners and general contractors reduce risk, manage cost and shorten project schedules.

Constructor lets you:

• Create highly accurate virtual building models
• Drive model-based quantities
• Solve and communicate constructibility issues
• Benefit from model, cost and schedule data integration
  

Ready, Set, Go

Virtually Build Your Project
Build a highly accurate 3D model of you project with Constructor. Analyze constructibility and communicate design issues.

Issue Model-Based Quantities
Save model-based quantities in the project database and benefit from a synchronized estimating and scheduling process.

Generate Model Based Estimate
Process the model-base quantities and generate an accurate cost estimate for your project. Easily track and analyze the consequences of design changes.

Sequence the Project
Define and organize construction zones with Constructor sequencing tools and generate schedules using Vico Software Control.

Integrate Model, Cost and Schedule
Publish the model to 5D Presenter and visually analyze your project progress. Get a clear understanding of schedule feasibility and relations between project progress and cost.

Highlighted New Features of Vico Constructor 2008

Virtual Tracing
Assures coordination and continuous visual feedback between 3D model and 2D documents

Comprehensive set of model-based properties and quantities
Enables faster and more accurate quantity take off.

User-defined Work Breakdown Structure
Allows for project structure organization, and WBS optimization to best fit project schedules and integrate estimating and scheduling.

Dynamic Element Splitting
Saves time, prevents quantity calculation errors and enables swift “what-if” analysis. Automatically calculates partial element quantities within construction zones, eliminates need for time-consuming “physical” splitting.

Site Surveying
Brings virtual building model to construction site and easily runs “as built” to “as designed” comparisons. This new feature assures synchronization between design and actual construction, and eliminates construction errors.

Support for conditional Methods
Ensures a faster, simpler and more accurate process. Makes for estimating flexibility and greater accuracy - without increasing the number of recipes.

Library of Standard Steel Profiles
Enables faster creation of more accurate and detailed virtual building models.
