Connected Construction with Trimble SketchUp

Connected Construction simplified with Trimble SketchUp SketchUp, when integrated with other digital technologies such as Trimble's X9 3D laser scanning system offers powerful solutions for construction projects.

Description: Construction projects are inherently complex, involving numerous teams, heavy machinery, and constant material flow. Traditional methods often lead to communication breakdowns, inefficiencies, and increased risks.

We invite you to discover how SketchUp Pro's newly released bundles, "Pro-Scan" and "Pro Advanced Workflows," are specifically designed to transform your operations. These powerful solutions provide a dynamic, visual, and collaborative platform that empowers onsite teams with real-time updates and actionable information, significantly improving productivity and mitigating risks across all project phases.  For conceptual design, massing studies, and quick visualisation, SketchUp's speed allows designers to iterate rapidly. This means faster exploration of ideas and quicker client approvals in the early stages, reducing overall design time.

In many professional environments, both SketchUp and Revit can be used in conjunction – SketchUp for early conceptual design and quick iterations, and then transitioning to Revit for detailed design, documentation, and BIM coordination.

What you will learn during our Connected Construction Industry Session:

• Real-time Status Sharing: Find out how Trimble Connect is a cloud-based solution that works as a centralised hub to keep everyone informed about the latest project details as they're updated.

• Enhanced Productivity: Understand how 3D visualisation, pre-fabrication detailing, and improved site logistics planning can streamline your workflows and reduce errors.

• Effective Risk Mitigation: Explore how SketchUp can be used for safety planning, sequence of operations simulations, and early clash detection to prevent costly delays and safety incidents.

• Introduction to "Pro-Scan": Learn how this bundle enables seamless integration of point cloud data into your 3D models, allowing you to go from site survey to model in a single workflow.

• Introduction to "Pro Advanced Workflows": Discover the benefits of this bundle, which includes Revit Importer, enhancing interoperability and collaboration across different software platforms.

Who should attend:

• Contractors

• Project Managers

• Site Supervisors

• Construction Engineers

• Architects

• Designers

• Anyone involved in construction project planning, execution, and management.

  
  

Why attend: This short introduction will provide valuable insights into how these new SketchUp Pro bundles can help you:

• Gain access to detailed, up-to-date project plans.

• Improve communication and collaboration among your site teams.

• Optimise workflows and boost onsite productivity.

• Proactively identify and mitigate potential risks.

For construction companies, SketchUp is a game-changer. Its intuitive 3D modeling allows rapid conceptualization and visualization, enabling clear client communication and early design validation. With easy-to-learn tools, training costs are minimal. Crucially, SketchUp excels in integrating point cloud data from scanners like Trimble X9, allowing accurate "as-built" modeling and real-time comparison with design plans for quality control. This visual clarity reduces errors, clashes, and rework on-site, saving significant time and money. Its affordability and extensive 3D Warehouse further boost efficiency, making SketchUp an invaluable tool for modern, connected construction.
