Bringing Clarity to Construction
Connecting Construction
with One Model
Construction projects are traditionally managed in a complex multi-tool ecosystems where information and processes are disconnected and a clear understanding of the real situation is lacking behind. This leads into truth latencies, which kills the productivity.
6DPlanner connects construction information and processes into One Model(TM) with:
- One easy to use construction management app for everyone
- One shared real-time updated situation truth
- Visual tools to plan, execute and report work progress
This leads to:
- Clear and optimized execution plans
- Right-at-once execution, on time, in quality, and in budget
- Increased resource utilization and profitability
"Contractors can get even 2% increase in EBITDA when 6DPlanner is fully utilized in construction projects. This is over 30% increase in average profits!"
- Jimmy Takki, CEO, 6DPlanner
Plan to Execute
Well planned is half done, they say.
Pre-construction optioneering is the key to successful construction as when the shovel is in the ground it is too late to optimize.
Construct your project virtually and optimize the execution before the real costly execution starts:
- Design solution review
- Quantity takeoff from designs
- Site work and logistics planning
- Phasing and scheduling
- Resource optioneering
- Task execution planning
One Model
6DPlanner combines all project aspects, both information and processes, into a One Model:
- 1D - Project scope, goals and requirements
- 2D - Location-based workflows
- 3D - Information model workflows
- 4D - Schedule management
- 5D - Resource and quantity management
- 6D - Life cycle management
Execute as Planned
When all information is easily available, tasks have visual instructions and quality is built into tasks, the construction is done right-at-once as planned.
6DPlanner is mobile optimized and all information can be used also on-site with mobile devices. Field workers can execute tasks and report progress back for example:
- Tasks with checklists, workflows and infrormation
- Schedule updates
- Photo documentation for task progress
- Forms with easy mobile optimized filling
- Issue reporting with photos
Become the Champion
of Construction Management
Lead with information so that everyone understands
Plan visually site activities based on latest site data
Optimize execution continuously based on live situation
Model-based Estimation
Exract accurate quantities from BIM design models or estimate quantities based on drawings. Add your own additional calculations to estimate for example costs and CO2 emissions.
Visual Site Planning
Plan work arrangements on top of latest site situation from reality capture data. Define work areas, storage areas, and logistics routes. Plan site safety and security arrangements. Place consruction machines in 3D and ensure they have needed space to operate.
Visual Scheduling
Bring the "where?" into scheduling and link schedule tasks with locations. Sketch work areas directly from scheduling. Simulate construction virtually and ensure there are not time - location clashes and minimize unnecessary movements on the site.
Resource Planning
Define resources like humans, equipment, machines, maerials and other. Assign resources to tasks and maximize resource utilization with capacity based planning.
Right-at-Once Execution
Field personnell can open tasks assigned to them with a mobile app. Time is saved as all needed information is linked to tasks. Task information visualization and checklists ensure that tasks are executed right-at-once. This reduces unnecessary rework which can be even 9% of the total costs.
Situation Awareness
During the execution it is extremely important to maintain close to real-time situation awareness. This means not only physical site survey data and photos but also project tasks, forms, schedules, and resource usage. Real-time progress reporting allows execution optioneering even in hourly accuracy.
Unique Advantages for Construction
Visual instructions
How do you know what right information to use when executing tasks? ➡️ Integrate data into tasks and ensure correct data is used and data is available automatic.
Minimize unnecessary movements
How do you minimize unnecessary movement between tasks? ➡️ Location based task execution
Right-at-once execution
How do you ensure tasks are executed correctly right-at-once? ➡️ Visual instructions reduce unnecessary rework is in average 9% of construction costs
Location-based scheduling
How do you optimize space usage in construction? ➡️ Location-based scheduling
Resurce optioneering
How do you maximize team productivity? ➡️ Resource allocation optioneering
Real-time optioneering
How can you optimize work if you know only day or week old situation? ➡️ Real-time progress reporting
