In the advanced world of construction, China Construction Fourth Engineering Division stands out as a prominent name, renowned for its commitment to construction excellence. Their latest project, "M-Apartment," a striking 18-floor residential complex with 4 basement levels, presented several unique challenges. Internally, the company faced challenges predominantly related to user development, which ultimately led to a productive collaboration with Glodon.

The Challenges Faced

China Construction Fourth Engineering Division was no stranger to the challenges of user development when adopting new technologies. To address this, they initiated a strategic collaboration with Glodon. Private training sessions and an internal Cubicost competition were organised to expedite user development, enhancing the organization's capabilities.

The M-Apartment project encountered complexities due to frequent design revisions and the need to coordinate designs between architectural and structural drawings. Overcoming these hurdles was critical for a smooth and efficient construction process. The construction team had to find a suitable method to prevent any damage to existing structures while working in the limited workspace.

Key Feature Highlights

China Construction Fourth Engineering Division discovered that Cubicost Solutions offered the perfect remedy to their challenges. They highlighted the following favourite features and the corresponding benefits:

Segmentation: This feature significantly improved progress tracking and claim processes. The colour-coding enhanced reporting, replacing manual paperwork and reducing the risk of data loss.
	Identify Drawing: With the ability to quickly build models from CAD/PDF vectors, it streamlined the modelling process.
Revision: The revision feature proved invaluable in accurately summarising volume differences.
	Rebar Data Check: This feature helped minimise errors during data input.
Rebar Visualisation: Providing a visual cross-check for calculations, this feature enhanced precision.
	Calculation Rules: Adjustable rules based on consultant standards allowed for fine-tuning and compliance.
Collaborative Environment: With the complexity of numerous items in BQ, collaborative capabilities streamlined processes.
