ABOUT CN3D DESIGN TEAM GENERAL CONTRACTORS TRADE CONTRACTORS OWNERS

Scott Adams said it best (creator of Dilbert); there are a limited amount of people inventing new tools but not many

showing us how to use them. We are left to follow suit, with limited instructions. At Cn3D Construction, we have noticed the gap between technology that helps us build better and the implementation of those tools. We are here to fill that gap. We are an exceptional team that enjoys teaching

and sharing information.

W H Y H I R E C N 3 D C O N S T R U C T I O N

BECAUSE ITS NOW OR NEVER. Project delivery methods are changing, lean construction is more than a class in school and the cloud is dominating computing. Add BIM to the big picture and there is a lot

changing; it's time to adjust your business model. We know just how to help you adopt, implement and integrate.

BECAUSE WE TRAIN YOUR IN-HOUSE STAFF.

Your employees are your greatest asset and we think there is no better way to reward them than promotion

from within. We help create Technology Guru's and BIM Director's.

S E A S O N E D P RO F E S S I O N A L S

Technology and BIM are here to stay and are no longer buzz words or market trends. Making the right changes, strategically and economically is what Cn3D Construction is here to assist you with.

5D ESTIMATING (Quantity Extraction)

PROPOSAL PRECONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION CLOSE-OUT


A process in which a 3D model is queried for total quantities and checked against the traditional estimated

take-off. Best practices is to perform QTO during preconstruction with each model iteration and continue

throughout the design process. This allows designers to see the cost effects of their changes in a timely manner

and avoid budget overruns.


1. Precisely estimate material quantities and generate quick revisions if needed. 2. Visual reality check for construction elements that need to be estimated. 3. Estimators can focus on more value adding activities such as identifying construction assemblies,

generating pricing and factoring risks, which are essential for high quality estimates. 4. Be able to compare visual design options and costs simultaneously.

Often, at the completion of a project it is difficult to tell how much has changed from the original design

and new coordinated design. We provide you before and after quantities that detail original scope versus

new.

CLOUD CONSULTING PROPOSAL PRECONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION CLOSE-OUT


Two words to describe the cloud are ‘organized’ and ‘instant’. Information is more valuable than gold in this business; the cloud gets you what you need, when you need it. Companies that grow in today's economy consistently base their processes on best practices. The quickest way for a company to be consistent is with project management software, because every process has a set course of actions. If you ask most people everyone has their own way of doing things and they use at least 4 different programs to do it. Project Management solves this; the only confusion is picking one. There are so many, Cn3D helps you choose what fits you best.


Unlimited storage.

Instant access to all file types.

Inexpensive and secure.

Easy to use and share with others.

BLUEBEAM TRAINING PROPOSAL PRECONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION CLOSE-OUT


The cornerstone software program in design and construction is Bluebeam Revu. It was built around this industry offering valuable functions such as PDF creation, editing, markup and collaboration technology. One of the most powerful functions of Bluebeam is using the built-in cloud program, Studio. As soon as you get the construction documents on a project they are outdated. Questions have been asked and answered. Keeping your plans updated digitally allows the entire team, regardless of platform to have access to the latest information anywhere/anytime. With studio you can make digital changes to the plans and share everything with the project team in real time. Live Drawings is one of the best ways to harness the power of the cloud.


Affordable and user-friendly.

Plug-ins for numerous programs; Microsoft Office, Autodesk, etc.

Built-in cloud program.

Communicate entire project scope and expectations.

Critical path and trade sorting.

Percentage complete reports.

Review for logic and missing predecessor/successor tasks.

VA and government work.

PERT schedules, Gantt chart and swim lane options.

Cost loaded schedules available.


LEAN CONSTRUCTION PLANNING PROPOSAL PRECONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION CLOSE-OUT


Lean Construction is a blend of operational study and practical development in design and construction. It gained its foundations from lean manufacturing principles. However, unlike manufacturing, construction presents a unique circumstance that all projects are one-of-a-kind. Even the same store (adapt-build) will be built by different people, in a different location and environment. Lean Construction focuses on workflows and consistency. With the new advents in technology it is critical for all firms to examine their business model and take full advantage technology. This often requires drafting new workflows and putting new systems in place.


Make procedures leaner saving time, resources and sanity.

Work more efficiently as a team.

Create consistent, tested procedures.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL PRECONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION CLOSE-OUT


Design and Construction starts out in the planning stage and then evolves into execution. A consistent process or workflow for every to do item is how a project is set up to succeed. If you went to all your employees today, and asked how they tracked changes or gathered submittals, are the methods consistent? A single platform management system with consistent methods increases productivity and quality.

Cn3D Construction supports Procore, a cloud-based construction management software. Procore offers a secure management platform for all types of construction projects including industrial plants, office buildings, apartment buildings,

university facilities, retail centers and more. Built for general contractors, owners, architects, construction management firms, specialty contractors, engineering firms and subcontractors, Procore improves project communication and collaboration.

“All things are created twice; first

mentally and then physically.

They key to creativity is to begin

with the end in mind, wish a

vision and a blueprint of the

desired result.” ~ Stephen Covey
