5D Virtual Construction Software 

 

"Virtual Construction represents a very great change to this industry. Now we have a tool to predict what is going to happen on a construction project with much greater accuracy than we had before."

Vico Office is the first integrated construction management solution for GCs that leverages the power of the 3D BIM model for 4D model-based scheduling and 5D model-based estimating. And the 3D models can come from multiple sources: architects, engineers, subs; and come in multiple flavors: Revit, Tekla, ArchiCAD, CAD-Duct.

 

 Here are the commercially-available Vico Software products:

•	Vico Doc Set Manager: identifies changes in construction drawing sets with clouding, RFIs, and change orders
•	Vico Office Client: for viewing and combining models from different systems; viewing RFIs/Clouds/Change Orders; creating/reading reports
•	Vico Office Takeoff Manager: for deriving construction-caliber quantities from BIM models
•	Vico Office Cost Planner: for taking those quantities and creating cost plans of the model and then updating each time the model is changed
•	Vico Office Cost Explorer: the first model-based budgeting application - allows the Owner to visually see which aspects of the project are contributing the change in cost
•	Vico Control: our flowline theory-based scheduling application leveraging resources, productivity rates, and locations and then managing to put-in-place work
