How Hexagon creates value for buildings industry

Informed design

Starting with the design phase, our sensors and software supply a continuous data flow up, down and across all phases of the building lifecycle. A single thread of data ensures that all changes from the design phase are captured and understood by all stakeholders. Projects run profitably as this data flow promotes transparency and real-time information-sharing among all stakeholders in the building process, including architects, engineers, project managers, work teams on-site, and building owners and management post-construction.

Our suite of sensors capture reality — both seen and unseen — providing architects and engineers the right information during the design process and creating reliable and accurate BIM designs. Architects can trust accurate data from our reality capture sensors before ground is broken to design and deliver built environments with better performance, lower environmental impact and reduced cost.

Accurate planning

Our connected ecosystem of autonomous building solutions enables project managers, engineers and building owners to develop a more accurate, efficient and cost-effective project plan that increases project performance and sustainability.

Utilising a fusion of reality capture technology and building-specific software, Hexagon’s 4D and 5D BIM solutions empower project owners and decision-makers to visualise changes to the budget, forecast and schedule in real time, optimising visibility, predictability and control.

This constant, real-time digital thread of information allows stakeholders to evaluate changing conditions and make better-informed decisions. The result is fewer schedule and budget overruns, less rework, less waste, and greater accuracy in the build-to-design (BID) process – all factors critical to completing your building project on time, on budget and more sustainably.

Sustainable building

During construction, a continuous digital thread of information and advanced automation technology allows contractors to execute on time and budget with as little waste and rework as possible. Data flows throughout every building process, capturing progress with sensors and software solutions that enable real-time data exchange among all workers on-site and between office and field.

Hexagon’s intelligent management and planning software transforms real-time, collected data into actionable information that streamlines decision-making on-site and optimises workflows. It enables work packages and assignments to be distributed to workers in a timely fashion. It also ensures greater accuracy so that when changes arise, workers can see and understand them quickly before mistakes are made and schedule and cost are impacted.

Continued success

Our building solutions enable a connected ecosystem where a single digital thread of data is woven through every phase of construction. The same continuous data flow that permeates the entire process — enabling and facilitating real-time data exchange — now uniquely benefits the ultimate stakeholder: the building’s owner operator. All the assets collected throughout the building lifecycle are maintained and leveraged during completion and turnover, allowing the owner full visibility into every process and component of the finished building.

The collected data creates an operational digital twin of the building, ensuring that the owner’s post-construction maintenance and operations team has accurate and up-to-date information needed to manage the completed building efficiently, sustainably and profitably.
