As the construction industry evolves, it presents challenges that drive firms to prioritise efficiency and accuracy. Hyway Group (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., a Hong Kong-based multinational company with over 20 subsidiaries, embraced these challenges. Undertaking a 16-storey affordable residential building project, the venture encompassed 8 residential blocks, 39 retail lots, and a multi-floored carpark, resulting in a multifunctional development. However, complexities arose, including tight timelines, varied block designs, and unique structural elements.

A Multifaceted Challenge

Phase 1 of the project spanned an expansive 98,933.40 square meters and involved constructing diverse blocks. The team faced stringent deadlines and the need to adapt to frequent design updates, particularly concerning the carpark building. In addressing these intricacies and delivering accurate quantity take-offs (QTOs) within the constrained timeframe, Hyway Group recognised the imperative for advanced solutions that could streamline their processes.
