In the fast-paced world of construction, efficiency and accuracy are key to success. Construction Managers are always on the lookout for innovative tools and methods to streamline their processes, reduce costs, and secure more competitive bids. One such game-changing approach is the use of Early Connected Steel Models, which involve modeling and connection engineering during the design phase. In this blog, we'll explore how these models not only cut down on bids but also enable Construction Managers to provide precise Bills of Materials (BoMs) for bidding purposes. This was a hot topic for many Construction Managers at CMAA last week.
Streamlining the Bidding Process
When it comes to bidding on construction projects, contractors often face tight competition. The ability to present an accurate and competitive bid is critical. Early Connected Steel Models play a crucial role in this process by providing a clear advantage:
Creating an EXACT Bill of Materials
While reducing bid costs is essential, the accuracy of the Bill of Materials is critical for Construction Managers. Early Connected Steel Models have a significant impact in this area as well:
In summary, Early Connected Steel Models are a powerful tool for Construction Managers looking to reduce bid costs and create precise Bills of Materials for bidding purposes. By conducting modeling and connection engineering upfront during the design phase, Construction Managers can minimize rework expenses, provide more accurate cost estimates, and ensure that the BoM is a true reflection of the project's requirements. This not only helps Construction Managers secure more competitive bids but also contributes to the successful and cost-effective execution of construction projects.
