Digital Transformation in Construction: The Role of Cubicost and 5D BIM
At the heart of this transformation lies Cubicost, a powerful tool by Glodon that integrates 5D BIM technology into construction workflows. This innovative solution allows for precise quantity takeoffs, material management, and project analysis, significantly reducing manual errors and inefficiencies.
BIM, or Building Information Modelling, provides a comprehensive digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a project. By incorporating a 5D approach, companies can link 3D visuals with time (4D) and cost (5D) dimensions, ensuring seamless project execution.
For PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya, this approach has brought a host of benefits:
- Enhanced Collaboration: Improved communication between stakeholders with 3D visual representations.
- Streamlined Processes: Faster modeling, calculation, and material ordering.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced wastage through precise resource management.
PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya: A Leader in Digital Construction
Established in 2007, PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya has built a reputation as a premier construction company in Indonesia. Specializing in steel fabrication and general contracting, the company handles diverse projects, including:
- Infrastructure Development: Roads, bridges, and waterworks.
- Industrial Construction: Factories and warehouses.
With the integration of Cubicost’s 5D BIM technology, the company has been able to achieve its goals of delivering high-quality projects on time while maintaining cost control and accuracy.
Overcoming Challenges in Indonesian Construction
The construction industry in Indonesia often grapples with several challenges, including communication gaps, time-consuming calculations, and the difficulty of visualizing designs. PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya faced these very issues during the development of a 5,135.2 m² sausage factory for PT Elson Bernardi.
Key Challenges:
- Communication Gaps: Difficulties aligning stakeholders.
- Manual Processes: Inefficient steel structure processing and manual calculations.
- Presentation Issues: Struggles with 3D visualization for clients.
By adopting Cubicost, the company resolved these issues and achieved remarkable results.
Implementation of Digital Tools with Cubicost
The digital journey began with the integration of the Cubicost software suite into their workflows. The process included:
- AutoCAD Import: Streamlining the conversion of architectural designs into the digital platform.
- Steel Quantity Calculation: Reducing time in material estimations.
- 3D Modeling: Creating accurate and visually engaging representations of the project.
- Bar Bending Schedules (BBS): Automating complex calculations for steel reinforcements.
- Material Ordering and Analysis: Ensuring precision in procurement and project forecasting.
This systematic approach allowed PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya to address its challenges and achieve unparalleled efficiency.
Efficiency Gains with 5D BIM in Indonesia
The adoption of Cubicost and 5D BIM solutions led to several quantifiable benefits for the company, including:
1. Time Savings
The digital tools significantly reduced the time spent on modeling, calculations, and project analysis. For example, tasks that once required weeks were completed within days, allowing for faster project delivery.
2. Enhanced Accuracy
Through digital calculations and 3D modeling, errors were minimized, resulting in better accuracy for quantity takeoffs and material specifications.
3. Cost Optimization
With automated workflows and precise forecasting, PT Bangun Karya Perkasa Jaya avoided over-ordering materials and reduced overall project costs.
4. Improved Collaboration
The use of 3D visuals and digital project analysis enhanced communication between stakeholders, ensuring smooth project execution from start to finish.
