Description

PDS® is an all-encompassing and advanced computer-aided design and engineering tool. Focused on production efficiency, PDS ensures optimal design outcomes while minimizing the overall installed costs associated with projects. This application not only boosts value and mitigates risk but also maintains the integrity of data throughout the process. Since the mid-1980s, it has been the preferred choice among owner operators and engineering, procurement, and construction firms worldwide for various design initiatives. It features dynamic walkthroughs, enabling operations and maintenance teams to engage with the virtual plant before actual construction begins. Moreover, PDS offers a specification-driven design approach, performing both "hard" and "soft" interference checks, and it generates precise material take-offs. Additionally, it comes equipped with a wealth of customizable reference data that adheres to industry standards, further enhancing its utility in diverse engineering projects.

Description

Utilizing BIM for production planning and execution can significantly improve productivity and streamline processes in offsite construction. By generating quantity takeoffs from your BIM models, you can effectively strategize and implement your project. Additionally, it allows for the creation of a Bill of Materials (BOM) for prefabricated modules and components. Managing BIM metadata streamlines business processes through automation. It is essential to recognize alterations in the BIM design, including the addition or removal of elements and modifications in the BIM metadata. Communicating these change orders to your procurement, production, or onsite construction teams is crucial for maintaining workflow continuity. To facilitate proper execution of the change, you must formulate a change order while planning its timeline and budget. Assigning products and services to specific elements in the quantity takeoff ensures comprehensive specification. It is also important to evaluate the resources needed for project completion, including materials, labor, equipment, and services. Meticulous planning of both offsite and onsite activities is necessary to ensure the successful execution of the project, and ongoing coordination will further enhance project outcomes.
