Using history as a guide, project controls and construction project management software typically involves a significant investment in both time and resources. Without a doubt, project controls are enormously important, and critical to a successful project. With Trimble ProjectSight, you can leverage Trimble’s unparalleled experience while also minimizing both training and implementation costs. In fact, with Trimble ProjectSight, you can get up and running in 20 minutes or less.

Originally, BuildingPoint set out to create an in-depth demonstration of the capabilities and features of ProjectSight. After the video was created, we quickly realized that this short demonstration was also a completely viable Getting Started training video. In just 20 minutes, you can be up and running with Trimble ProjectSight. But don’t just take our word for it, simply check out our getting started video by clicking the link below, and see how easy it is to leverage project controls on your next project.

Trust, but verify. It’s a solid premise that can deliver significant benefits to structural and general contractors throughout the production process. By implementing a QA/QC process within your organization, you can effectively manage and minimize rework and change orders, specifically those arising from in-field deviations and layout errors.

And while each and every solution Trimble’s RTS family of robotic total stations (RTS655, RTS773, and RTS873) can easily collect and report on field measurements and QA/QC activities, the RTS655 is uniquely engineered to excel in this particular task. With the RTS655, Trimble has created a robotic total station that is perfectly at home on the modern construction project. Boasting a rugged design, this total station is custom-tailored for the jobsite. Additionally, this system builds upon the traditional features and capabilities that have enabled Trimble to become the industry leader in robotic technology. Best-in-class distance measuring, compatibility with a wide variety of handheld and tablet computer options, and a workflow that is simply second-to-none in usability and accessibility the Trimble RTS655 is the embodiment of what the perfect QA/QC tool should be.

Just as important as the features it has are the features it doesn’t. At the core, the Trimble RTS655 is a robotic total station. Without several features included on the RTS773 and RTS873 (such as Trimble Vision and a highly visible green beam, respectively) this robotic total station focuses on the traditional QA/QC and layout capabilities, and makes them easier than ever to leverage and utilize. Single, one-user operation is a easily accomplished, freeing up field personnel to accomplish other tasks on the project. The RTS655 also embraces the same familiar Trimble Field Link workflow, minimizing the learning curve, and allowing users across multiple trades and disciplines to share data across the entire project.

With the adoption of BIM and VDC technologies, workflows are changing at such a rapid pace, that contractors are having a hard time keeping up with the demands of the modern construction project. With our Hardware-As-A-Service (HaaS) program, BuildingPoint has created a solution to help contractors keep up with that demand. More than just a traditional rental, HaaS uses the power of our comprehensive portfolio of technology solutions to allow contractors to acquire the tools they need, without breaking the budget. Designed to answer the challenges facing contractors today, HaaS is currently available within a number of applications and solutions. From points layout to laser scanning, personnel management, and QA/QC, contractors can leverage the power of Trimble’s GNSS, robotic, and laser scanning solutions on their next project.

Predictable Financial Planning
More than just a rental, HaaS removes the variables from the construction project. For a single, fixed monthly investment, you can rest assured that you have the technology you need to leverage the latest BIM and VDC wofkflows.

Future-Proof Technology
Technology is changing at a breakneck pace. With HaaS, you have the confidence of knowing that your technology stays on the cutting edge. Free upgrades and equipment swaps are always available to HaaS contractors.

Scalability
Designed with the contractor in mind, HaaS enables your technology to scale and grow just as quickly as your business, without accumulating large up-front hardware costs. In addition, you can easily implement additional hardware solutions on specific projects, to further leverage the flexibility of this technology model.

Flexible Contract Terms
With HaaS, you sign up for a fixed contract term. But BuildingPoint understands that technology empowers and drives efficiency. If you finish your project early, you can turn in your hardware solution early and pay no penalties or additional charges.

Cost-Effective Training
HaaS contractors also leverage the industry’s most comprehensive and all-encompassing support and training team. With Trimble Certified Trainers, you receive exclusive access to training events and one-on-one support at a discounted rate. This ensures that your team has all of the knowledge needed to utilize the powerful capabilities of these solutions.

When discussing and implementing precision layout workflows and processes, data prep inevitably becomes a topic on the agenda. The field side of the equation is relatively straightforward. Setup the robotic total station, and layout the points. However, preparing that data for the field can seem like a daunting task. Today’s models are increasingly complex and intricate, requiring specialized tools and workflows to prepare the data for points layout. It is this specific reason why Trimble created Trimble Field Points.

With Trimble Field Points, contractors can quickly and easily prepare and process their data for use in the field, while substantially reducing the learning curve. The is achieved through the simple fact that Trimble Field Points has a single function, to create points and data files for field use. Using this innovative, purpose-built solution, users are presented with only the information and functionality they need for field layout, greatly reducing the complexity and training required. And because Trimble Field Points is based upon the same familiar and intuitive workflow as Trimble Field Link, you can be preparing and outputting data points and background files within minutes.

Construction is unique. That’s quite an understatement, but it’s also a fact. The environment, the demands, the tightly managed schedules and budgets. Every part of the process is unique, and that’s why purpose-built tools and workflows perform so much more effectively with the AEC space.

Trimble’s TX series of laser scanners is a perfect example of hardware this is designed to thrive within our unique industry. The rugged design, combined with industry leading point cloud accuracy and deliverables, allows the Trimble TX series to provide consistent and reliable results over thousands of scans. And because every company is unique and different, Trimble offers a number of options when selecting the laser scanning solution that fits your specific needs and mission. From the cost-effective TX6, to the long-range capable TX8, the TX series of laser scanners offers something other laser scanners simply can’t: Trimble Productivity.

Conceptual and feasibility estimates are some of the most challenging figures to provide to both existing and prospective clients when it comes to construction estimating. These numbers are traditionally fraught with land mines. Provide a number that’s too conservative and you’ll price yourself out of the job. Paint too rosy a picture and you’ll blow your conceptual budget when submitting final numbers. Finding that “just right” mix is the key to providing reliable and actionable feasibility numbers.

Trimble Modelogix helps you find this “just right” number by using the best historical numbers available… yours. With Modelogix you’re able to create a comprehensive and constantly evolving cost database that is built upon your historical actuals and performance. This allows an unparalleled insight into future projects and opportunities. And because this data is based on your real-world experience, you can easily slice and dice the data any way that you need to. Need to create a feasibility estimate for a healthcare remodel based on number of beds? Easy. How about a commercial/retail high rise based on square footage and the overall number of decks proposed? Done.

With Trimble Modelogix, you can leverage your experience to create defensible and accurate feasibility numbers. To learn more, contact your BuildingPoint team member, or simply click the link below.
