User Input |
Model Conditioning |
Clash Management |
Works with various model formats and data sources. Over 30 different file types supported. Data from Excel, Access or any ODBC connection can be integrated into one heterogenous model. Manually add data to objects to enhance data quality, filtering, and reporting. |
Optimise model quality and usability by using various model conditioning capabilities. iConstruct reduces the size of federated 3D models by removing duplicated objects, splitting models by zone/discipline/selection and providing clear selection tree hierarchies – all with same goal of delivering consistent, serviceable 3D models, catering to the specific needs of the project. |
Improve the efficiency of clash coordination by quickly grouping and reviewing clashes, as well as creating viewpoints and reports to communicate issues for resolution in just few clicks. |

Reporting |
Advanced Exporting |
Work Packaging |
IConstruct’s reporting features allow users to produce their own reports from data in various formats, from Excel sheets to user-defined custom reports. |
Export models to IFC format. Users can define export settings and include native model data as well as mapped geometry. The result is a file with typical IFC structure with categorized elements and appended properties. |
Using the Control Panel, Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) facilitates the breakdown of a large scope of work into smaller Work Breakdown Structures (WBS). This gives crews the information they need to work effectively and efficiently, boosting project performance. |
