Shorten the lead time of the work process
Whether you outsource drawing or modelling work to third parties, such as contractors and engineering firms, or whether you carry out these activities yourself. It is essential to deliver drawings or models in accordance with company-specific, industry or national specifications .
In the construction world, the installation engineering world and the world of infrastructure, a BIM process is unthinkable without specifications such as Information Delivery Specifications (ILS) being laid down or national specifications being required such as the Dutch CAD Standard (NLCS).
But how do you ensure that drawings and models actually meet the set specifications?
For both the client and the contractor, checking the required specifications of drawings to be delivered or delivered is very labour-intensive. The lead time in the process from delivery to acceptance is often very long. In addition, it happens that organisations accept drawings without prior checking. As a result, drawings deviate from the agreements as laid down in the specifications, with all the consequences that entails.
A partner with over 35 years of experience
As a software supplier and knowledge partner, we have everything in-house to optimise your validation process.
Validation, extraction and translation
Cadac Control is the key to the data in your model or drawing. Thanks to Cadac Control, you can make optimal use of this data. In the Autodesk software (AutoCAD and Revit) as well as the open BIM format IFC, a lot of information is recorded on the basis of the delivery specification. Using the right data leads to an improvement in the quality of the available information (BIM) and a reduction in costs.
For whom is Cadac Control of added value?
Cadac Control offers added value for both the client and the contractor.
The added value consists of:
- Easier checking of drawings against the set requirements, so that the quality of the delivered documents is better monitored;
- Carry out quick checks at short notice;
- Large numbers of submitted projects/drawings;
- Error-free delivery of AutoCAD drawings and Revit models in accordance with requested standards and requirements;
- Use data from the design process during asset management and maintenance (Asset Lifecycle Management).
Cadac Control Professional or Cadac Control Enterprise
Cadac Control is available in two variants.
With Cadac Control Professional , you can validate drawings and models via the Cadac Control platform. The validation is controlled by the user and the results of the check are sent back by e-mail.
Cadac Control Enterprise provides a solution that is fully integrated into your Common Data Environment. For example, it supports the ISO19650 workflow in the Autodesk Construction Cloud or SharePoint environment. When a model moves from the Work-in-Progress folder to the Shared folder, the model is first checked via Cadac Control. Yoursystem always guards your data without user intervention.
The result of Cadac Control
In concrete terms, Cadac Control delivers the following results:
- Validated drawings and models that meet the required specification;
- reporting with detected errors and adjustments to facilitate quality monitoring;
- Efficient completion of projects thanks to limited visual inspection of the drawings received;
- Relieving users of complex and time-consuming checks.
By validating, one receives objective proof that the set requirements or standards have been met. In addition, results that deviate from the way they were initially intended are prevented. Cadac Control supports you in this process
