History

The iConstruct software was developed by industry professionals over the past several years to meet the growing need of information required to be delivered on various construction projects. The requirements for these projects all shared a similar problem; to provide standardised and co-ordinated data from a range of multiple CAD and design platforms and different internal databases.

To meet these requirements, iConstruct tools were paired with the power of Autodesk Navisworks technology, which helped design teams and other construction professionals overcome these outstanding problems. Autodesk Navisworks was chosen as the review platform due to its advanced technology to collaborate and handle larger CAD models which met the scope of these projects. With the support for a large number of native CAD formats, Autodesk Navisworks also allowed design teams to keep working in their current design package and still meet the standardised information requirements.

Since its initial development iConstruct has grown to provide consultants and construction professionals with a wide range of reporting, data configuration and query tool sets so information can be collected where and when needed without needing to search for it, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of individuals and teams. In turn this has provided cost and time savings to teams on active projects.

The future of iConstruct is focused towards supporting BIM based design and to develop tools that further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its users, by leveraging of relevant, accessible and standardised project information, productive reporting and enhanced communication tools.
