In the dynamic world of construction, innovation is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. Sri Binaraya Sdn. Bhd., a renowned Malaysian contractor, recognized this early on when they decided to adopt Glodon Cubicost into their operations. As one of the most advanced quantity takeoff software solutions available today, Cubicost has helped them shift from traditional, manual methods to a fully digital BIM 5D workflow. The result? Improved accuracy, increased efficiency, and faster project turnaround times.
Let's explore how Sri Binaraya's digital transformation with Glodon Cubicost changed the way they approach construction, and how this technology enables them to deliver high-quality projects on time and within budget.
The Drive for Efficiency in Construction
With over 40 years of experience in the industry, Sri Binaraya Sdn. Bhd. has established itself as a leader in delivering high-quality construction projects. As a Class 'A' and Grade 7 contractor, their portfolio includes more than 100 completed projects, earning certifications such as ISO 9001:2015, CONQUAS, Green SS, and CIDB QLASSIC. Yet, even a company of this caliber faced challenges when it came to scaling their operations efficiently.
The Problem: Manual Processes Slowing Down Progress
Before transitioning to digital, Sri Binaraya relied heavily on manual measurement and documentation processes, which often led to several inefficiencies:
- Time-Consuming Tasks: Manually measuring quantities was not only labor-intensive but also prone to human error. With traditional methods, the larger and more complex the project, the greater the risk of mistakes and delays.
- Focus Shift: With too much time spent on these operational details, the project team often found themselves pulled away from more critical tasks, like strategic decision-making and quality control.
These issues presented a significant bottleneck, especially when Sri Binaraya was managing complex, large-scale projects. They knew they needed a solution that could automate these time-intensive tasks while ensuring precision and speed.
Introducing Glodon Cubicost: The Power of BIM 5D
To overcome these challenges, Sri Binaraya turned to Glodon Cubicost, an all-in-one quantity takeoff software that integrates seamlessly into BIM 5D workflows. For those unfamiliar with the term, BIM 5D (Building Information Modeling) adds both cost and scheduling dimensions to the traditional 3D modeling of buildings. This helps contractors visualize the entire scope of the project, track costs, and manage time in real-time, all while keeping an eye on progress.
Glodon Cubicost helped Sri Binaraya make the leap from manual to digital, offering several key benefits:
- 3D Models for Precision: The ability to visualize and model projects in three dimensions allowed the team to quickly spot missing elements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked.
- Auto-Deductions: Glodon Cubicost’s automated deduction features minimized the need for manual adjustments, increasing the overall efficiency of the takeoff process.
- Real-Time Updates: Instant updates and real-time data provided Sri Binaraya with the ability to make faster, more informed decisions, keeping their projects on schedule.
Quantifiable Results: Efficiency and Accuracy
The transformation brought about by Glodon Cubicost was nothing short of revolutionary for Sri Binaraya. They saw immediate improvements across the board, particularly in how efficiently they could manage their quantity takeoff processes and project timelines.
As the infographic shows, Sri Binaraya experienced a 100% increase in work efficiency after adopting Cubicost into their operations. Some of the most noticeable improvements included:
- Streamlined Quantity Extraction: With automated quantity extraction, the time required to complete measurements and calculations was drastically reduced. This freed up resources and allowed the team to focus on higher-level tasks.
- Improved Progress Claims: The progress claim process became smoother and more accurate, with all project data integrated into a single digital platform for easy access and management.
- Seamless Project Tracking: Monitoring and tracking the project in real-time meant the team could catch discrepancies early and make adjustments as needed, without disrupting the overall project flow.
These improvements were particularly noticeable during one of Sri Binaraya’s flagship projects: a 45-story high-rise residential building, covering over 2 million square feet. With just two quantity surveyors (QS), the project was completed in 32 months, a remarkable achievement made possible by the streamlined processes and tools provided by Glodon Cubicost.
Why BIM 5D and Glodon Cubicost Are the Future of Construction
The successful transition made by Sri Binaraya Sdn. Bhd. is a shining example of the value of BIM 5D in modern construction. The added dimensions of cost and scheduling, integrated directly into the 3D model, provide an unparalleled level of insight and control for project managers. This allows for more accurate budgeting, better resource allocation, and faster project delivery times.
Glodon Cubicost stands out as the ideal quantity takeoff software to support this transition, offering features like auto-deductions, 3D modeling, and real-time updates that enhance every stage of a construction project. For companies like Sri Binaraya, adopting this technology has led to faster, more accurate, and more profitable project completions.
