Vico Software: Virtual construction

We provide and support the following Vico software:

Virtual Construction suite

Virtual Construction Software suite is a highly integrated 5D solution designed specifically to bring the benefits of BIM to construction companies. The software synchronize 3D virtual construction model, estimating and schedulig data and help construction firms determine how best to construct buildings. The Virtual Construction suite covering project constructability, estimating, cost management, schedule planning, procurement and, change management processes.

Using Virtual Construction you can improve project predictability, optimize schedule, reduce risk and manage project cost.

Vico Constructor 2008

Vico Constructor 2008 features: - Video

  • Vico Software Constructor 2008 includes functionality for architectural, structural and MEP modeling, allowing you to create a true Virtual Construction ™ model of your project. Constructor's connection to Vico Software Estimator™ lets you take advantage of the speed and accuracy of model based quantities: an updated model results in an updated cost estimate! Optimized schedule is guaranteed through tight integration of the Virtual Construction model with Vico Software Control ™; a location based scheduling software. After completion of a project estimate and schedule, a 5D simulation can be published using Vico Software 5D Presenter™, which allows for interactively exploring the project and simulating the schedule.
  • Create highly accurate Virtual Building models
  • Drive model–based quantities
  • Solve and communicate constructability issues
  • Benefit from model, cost and schedule data integration

Vico Estimator 2008

- Video - Vico Software Estimator 2008 is a unique 3D model-based estimating system. By using quantities extracted from Vico Software Constructor 3D models, highly accurate estimates can be created in less time. The “what you see is what you estimate” approach reduces inaccuracies and risks and helps you identify and communicate the relations between quantities, cost and locations.

Estimator 2008 supports large projects by enabling merging of separate sub-models quantities into a one coherent project estimate and by providing comprehensive Bid packages tools and versioning functionality.

Vico Control 2008

- Video -Vico Software Control™ is a unique location-based construction management system. Which enable the creation of significantly compressed schedules without increasing risk. Vico Control 2008 is modular software – the combination of features can be tailored to customers' needs. The Standard package includes Schedule Planning, Project Control, Procurement, and Risk Management. Advanced features include Micromanagement, Costs, and even Logistics and Quality.

Flowline is also known as "Line-of-Balance". The reason this system is so different is that it is based on a location-based methodology. This methodology is perfect for construction because it allows you to easily manage how crews move from location to location on a complete project. All the other scheduling systems are activity-based (good for building an airplane engine in a factory) forcing the user to manually take into account locations and make subjective determinations of duration for completing an activity at any specific location.

The "Flowline" view allows users to better visualize and manage the relationship between tasks and the flow of crews as they progress from location to location. The components of the system include: Schedule Planning Risk Analysis Procurement Planning Production Control DYNAProject gives users the ability to deliver projects faster while better managing risk and increasing productivity, predictability and transparency. DYNAProject has been designed specifically for the construction industry. It can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the Virtual ConstructionTM suite of services that provide an integrated and unique solution for the construction industry that is aimed at reducing construction costs.

Vico 5d presentor 2008

- Video -A powerful management and communication tool, Vico Software's 5D Presenter can be used by the entire project team to view model data, schedules and cost information along with an interactive, realistic 3D view. This advanced tool gives the construction team a unified and interactive 5D view of the project's progress. Equipped with Earned Value Analysis capability, 5D Presenter 2008 enhance the project management team's ability to track project progress and related costs by revealing the correlation between budgeted/actual cost and scheduled/actual work performed. Using 5D Presenter you can virtually explore your project , improve team communication and compare actual construction with design.

Vico Cost Manager 2008

- Video -Vico Software Cost Manager 2008 gives you the tightest possible control over your project’s budget. With this straightforward visual monitoring system, you can easily grasp and communicate project cost variances, and compare them to targeted costs. Cost Manager’s unique graphic interface provides a color-coded macro-level view of project costs. This clear picture immediately allows you to analyze variances, and track them to individual project elements.

Vico Change Manager 2008

- Video -Vico Software Change Manager 2008 automates the process of checking for drawing revisions across construction drawing sets.  Building projects generate frequent revisions to hundreds or thousands of drawing files. Identifying and responding to these changes is time-consuming, and missing even a single change could have costly consequences. Vico Software Change Manager reduces risk and improves productivity by identifying these changes, providing workflow control for assigning tasks, and tracking the progress of the entire project team.
