Concept – presenting your original sketches and concepts to your win more clients is the main goal in the concept stage.  With MicroGDS and Piranesi you can create the model, render it and even paint your own artist impression of your concept in order to win over the client.   In addition, with the help of Informatix software you can be safe in the knowledge that work you are doing now at this early stage of the process will be used years after the presentations have been made and the client agrees to your concept.

Built – during the building stage collaborate with all parties involved in the design from the architect, HVAC, structural engineering, etc.  Using Informatix MicroGDS everyone can work on the same project concurrently without compromising on the quality of output or the accuracy of the data.  Once everyone has finished and stress testing on the models have been carried out you can keep track of the quotes for each part of the build, output a bill of materials and manage the entire process from the one central system without the need for additional software or hardware.

Occupied – now that the build is complete its time to handover to the client.  The data transferred at the handover stage is critical.  Displaying how the building works, what infrastructure is contained within the building, where everything is located, when it needs maintenance, and what the part codes are, essential for a successful project handover. Using Informatix Facilities Management further synergies can be achieved.  Built with interoperability and collaboration in mind Informatix solutions will integrate seamlessly into the FM space for the CAD and non-CAD user to access.

Managed – now the building has become a living form –it has people, assets, office and retail space, kitchens, meeting rooms, PC’s, printers, photo copiers –  the building has now evolved.  Extending Informatix MicroGDS and Facilities Management solutions companies can manage every element of the building ensuring everything from maintenance checks on the lifts through to carrying out security checks on staff and interfacing with the HR and payroll system.  Every piece of data about an object, person or resource can be linked to the core building project – graphically displaying relevant elements for each department or function at the click of a mouse.
