Vertex BD can offer huge design
and quality efficiencies for those working in steel-based offsite systems.
Offsite construction is a method that is far faster than the equivalent traditional on-site building process. This is due to the enclosed and controlled factory environment, the ability to co-ordinate and repeat activities, and an increasing level of automation.
While the building elements are being factory manufactured, foundation and site works can take place simultaneously, allowing progress to be made much more quickly than traditional building methods. Efficiencies in the manufacturing process need to be matched by efficiencies in the design process, this is where Vertex BD comes in. Vertex BD uses high levels of automation to rapidly reduce the time spent in the design phase, whilst giving its users the flexibility to build the way they need. Vertex BD is a Building Information Modelling (BIM) software which is your complete source of information for any steel framing project.
Vertex BD specialise in cold-formed steel framing, and we aim to offer our clients all the benefits from Vertex BD whilst fitting in with how they are currently operating. Design time can be vastly reduced, accuracy increased and costly errors avoided. Vertex BD uses digital automation to seamlessly translate information about a project across all disciplines, so the plans, schedules, material reports, shop drawings, and manufacturing data can be automatically generated and saved within the BIM model.
