What’s New in Vico Office R3?

Release Three of the Vico Office Suite
The third Vico Office release connects the 3D model geometry to 4D planning and scheduling to 5D cost planning and budgeting. Creating a live, integrated model means that a change in the building design immediately results in a change in the schedule and budget. 5D BIM is now a complete answer machine for integrated building teams.

Users will recognize the same GUI and features ribbon, as well as the step-by-step navigation on the left-hand side of the screen, but now with expanded capabilities for LBS Manager, Schedule Planner, 4D Manager, and Production Controller.

Platform Enhancements
Just as before, users can select which operating system corresponds to their BIM authoring tools: 32-bit or 64-bit.

Vico Office Client
BIM Managers and model authors publish their models to Vico Office using the Vico Office Client. This is the hub for publishing, importing, and reporting for the entire suite. We offer free Publishers for ArchiCAD, Revit, and Tekla. There are special Importers for IFC files, CAD-Duct, and new in this release, SketchUp and DWG files. These importers carry an additional cost, but they open up your BIM practice to all types of models and partners.

Vico Office is the first integrated construction management solution for GCs that leverages the power of the 3D BIM model for 4D model-based scheduling and 5D model-based estimating. And the 3D models can come from multiple sources: architects, engineers, subs; and come in multiple flavors: Revit, Tekla, ArchiCAD, CAD-Duct, IFC files, even SketchUp and DWG files.

During the last five years, Vico’s customers proved for themselves what we know to be true about the benefits of BIM. Innovation was what drove new project wins, our customers exploited 3D modeling, clash detection, model-based coordination, rigorous content planning, multi-model management, change management, and model-derived block drawings. Some went further into 5D with model-derived quantity takeoff, cost estimating, and location-based scheduling. It is no exaggeration to say that the Vico customers who “went the deepest” are the same companies who reaped the most benefit from the technology. They literally picked the jobs they wanted to win, developed the best plans, recruited the best teams, executed more effectively in the field, and delivered a new and exciting owner experience.

The commercial construction market is poised to skyrocket again and 5D BIM technologies will differentiate general contractors from the pack. What better time to get key members of your team ramped up and outfitted with best solution on the market?

Platform Enhancements

Just as before, users can select which operating system corresponds to their BIM authoring tools: 32-bit or 64-bit.

Vico Office Client

BIM Managers and model authors publish their models to Vico Office using the Vico Office Client. This is the hub for publishing, importing, and reporting for the entire suite. We offer free Publishers for ArchiCAD, Revit, and Tekla. There are special Importers for IFC files, CAD-Duct, and new in this release, SketchUp and DWG files. These importers carry an additional cost, but they open up your BIM practice to all types of models and partners.

LBS Manager

This module represents an important portion of the Vico 5D BIM workflow: location breakdown structure. Planners and schedulers use LBS Manager to determine the best location systems for each trade. It’s important to note that these defined location systems have no relation to the locations that were defined in the CAD system. This means that Vico Office makes it possible to define and maintain a uniform location structure for all project models published to Vico Office.

Schedule Planner

Here is where the workflows of quantity surveyors, estimators, and planner mesh and highlight the leveraged integration of Vico Office. Planners use the model-based quantities from Takeoff Manager and match them to the resource quantities in Cost Planner and the project locations just defined in LBS Manager. This means that the schedules created with Vico Office Schedule Planner are quantity- and location-based and optimized for minimized risk using Flowline theory.

4D Manager

4D Manager allows your team to communicate the scientific schedule to the Owner and to the Subs. It’s important for us to point out that this is not a marketing movie – it is scheduling simulation which is tied to the quantities from the model geometry, the locations assigned in LBS Manager, and the optimal mix of crews based on locations and productivity rates. Think of 4D Manager as a visual schedule – so much easier to read than a Ganttchart, and nothing like a marketing schedule put together to satisfy the Owner that the job can be done on time.

Production Controller

Planning the project is only half of the schedule. Managing to that schedule on-site is perhaps even more difficult. But Vico Office introduces the solutions necessary for the Project Managers and Superintendents. The original plan included quantities per location, materials, resources, and productivity rates from the Subs. Now it’s necessary to track the planned productivity to the actual productivity.
