our solution

Digitbilt developed a piece level digital twin of the framing system & worked directly with trade partners to optimize the building shell systems. During this process significant issues with coordination were revealed between architectural & structural construction documents. These issues were coordinated digitally prior to start of work which eliminated costly field change orders & schedule delays that would have occurred.

the result

The general contractor used the exact material data derived out of the digital twin & Bill of Materials to reduce the cost of the framing package.
