It also has data about the materials used, the framing and what connections that wall has to other walls, floors, roofs and so forth.

‘When you draw a wall in Vertex BD, the software contains information about what it should look like in 2D and 3D. The BIM capabilities in Vertex BD enable a design to be created and built conceptually in a virtual space using objects with exact measurements and faculties. Unlike its predecessor, CAD (Computer Aided Design), BIM is not limited to simple geometry much like CAD it enables 2D and 3D design, while also capturing information about planning, materials and components at every stage of a project’s life cycle. The core element of Vertex’s differentiation is BIM technology (Building Information Modelling).

Software provider Vertex Systems does things a little differently they have created a suite of systems focused on providing complete solutions that span every stage of the construction process, from detailing to manufacturing – to put you in total control over every project. However, when different business functions are managed across several software platforms, a lack of integration can create silos of information and outputs, with the potential for issues to fall through the cracks. There are systems to help with design, others with project management and some can help you organise your contractors and trades. Over the past couple of decades, it has become apparent that software offers the industry key insights into the physical and functional characteristics of a build. A well-managed build will always deliver an optimised result, with less incidence of error higher quality construction, detailing and finish happy clients, and minimal stress (for you and the client).īuilders are increasingly turning to software to gain more effective and cohesive oversight and control of their projects and associated documentation. The problem is, often our professional lives are fraught with things that feel out of our control: challenging projects supply problems and delays indecisive clients unforeseen circumstances – not to mention a global pandemic!įor housing professionals, maintaining control over every aspect of your projects is paramount – after all, the end game is a home or renovation completed on time and budget. It’s primitive, innate and it’s biochemical. When we’re achieving professionally and delivering great outcomes, our sense of competence rises and our feelings of fear lessen.

All human beings have a deep-seated desire for certainty and control.
