Challenges Faced

DH Land encountered an array of challenges. They were well-versed in traditional construction methods, and transitioning to new software proved to be a significant challenge. Learning how to use the software while still in the process of learning itself presented a steep learning curve, requiring time and dedication. The software boasted numerous features to explore, adding complexity to the situation. Understanding how to make the software function effectively resembled solving a puzzle. On the project side, the Sandville Residence had an unfinished design, demanding adaptability. They were also under intense time pressure to master the software and expedite the construction process.

Implementation Journey with Glodon's Support

Noor Fahimah Binti Muhammad, a Quantity Surveyor, led the way. She began basic training in February 2023 and intermediate training in March 2023. By June 2023, she had already achieved 90% proficiency using TAS. In May 2023, she delved into basic training for TBQ (the consultant version) and accomplished 80% completion of the Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
