3 Significantly improved cost management accuracy and turnaround times Optimized schedule planning and production control provides superior performance over traditional techniques With deep industry and business process expertise, a broad global presence, and a proven track record, novacitynets s dedicated team minimizes disruption, assures productivity from day one, and helps our customers to reduce risk, shorten schedules, increase profitability, and win more business. BENEFITS OF OUR SERVICES Constructability Analysis: The BIM modeling process highlights potential problems in project s design and identifies missing information in the construction documents. The list of problems identified is provided to the project team in a discrepancy report. Elimination of these errors has been proven to reduce project cost by 2-3% savings in constructability issues. Communication: The BIM model connects the design to both the cost and time aspects of the project. It is the ideal tool to communicate project status and issues to all project stakeholders. Usage of the model for communication purposes ranges from high level meetings with the project stakeholders, to detailed planning meetings with individual subcontractors, foremen, and site staff. Cost Planning: The BIM model produces highly accurate material quantities, which are combined with a company database to rapidly create the project estimate. Once the project estimate has been processed, the time required to update it based on design changes is dramatically reduced. Additionally, the project team can use the graphical tools included with the system to communicate the estimate and the variance to either the initial budget or previous estimates to all project stakeholders. Construction companies can achieve 3% - 5% savings utilizing the full solution, that includes better estimating data for negotiations and a schedule plan with reduced labor CONSTRUCTION SERVICES PROCESS OVERVIEW Define the Project Plan Create the 3D Model Configure the Estimating Database. Develop the estimate Analyze sequences Update & maintain the 5D model

BIM PROJECTS PORTFOLIO ANGELIER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, CANADA The project was based at an isolated location in Northern Canada. The client was an independent developer bidding on the right to supply power to the government at a fixed rate. The problem facing the developer was that he had to provide a firm fixed rate for power supplied, without the completed engineering drawings and to do so within a three week period. Because of the limited information provided and the short time period, there would be insufficient time to complete the engineering drawings and procure detailed proposals or quotations from contractors and material suppliers. NovaCITYNETS was engaged by the Project consultant to provide a high level estimate, within the tight time scale utilising BIM technology. Using Model Based Estimating methodology to calculate the quantities and prepare the estimate, the client was able to reduce their project contingency with total confidence and submit their proposal within three weeks. As a result they were successful in procuring the contract WHITE RIVER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, CANADA NovaCITYNETS s BIM team sucessfully utilising Model based Estimating to reduce project contingency for this hydroelectric project. From the 2D DWG drawings given by the consultants, the BIM team created a high standard 3D BIM which volumes of the various excavated materials, concrete quantities, form-work surface areas, building areas, building cladding areas, roof areas and building finishing quantities, were automatically generated from the model.
