UNIQUE BIM INSIGHTS - October 2024

Project of the Month - G+1 BUILDING

Project Details:

Title: G+1 BUILDING

Location: ISRAEL

Project size: 3350 SFT

Storey: 2 STOREYS + PARAPET

Project type: RESIDENTIAL

Material: HYBRID BUILDING WITH LGS AND RED IRON

Scope of Work: DETAILING

Project Description:

This project involved the detailing of a two-storey building. We began by receiving the initial model and specifications from the client, and our responsibility was to complete the detailing in accordance with the client’s requirements, adhering to various LGS profiles and connections that met mandatory standards.

A significant highlight of this project is, while the initial rough estimate indicated a completion time of 17 days based on client standards and project size, the client requested an expedited timeline of just 10 days. Remarkably, our dedicated team completed the project in only 10 days by working in two shifts. This achievement underscores our strong teamwork and unwavering commitment to work and excellence.

Duration: 10 WORKING DAYS

Software: Detailing: VERTEX BD

Machine Used: HOWICK

Efficient LGSF Building with Howick Machines

In our latest light gauge steel frame (LGSF) construction project, we utilized advanced technology with two Howick machines: the Frama 3200 and the Frama 5200. These machines enable precision manufacturing and efficient assembly of structural components.

Howick machines give a significant value for the money for the price at which they are purchased by virtue of, in comparison to other machines supplied by competition,

1. Precision at which they manufacture. Not requiring recalibration every day.
2. Reduced downtimes due to the quality of the machines
3. These machines also work with many different BIM software such as Vertex BD, MWF Strucsoft, Framebuilder MRD, Tekla LGS, etc by taking CSV files as input without making it proprietary to anyone BIM software
