Construction Events & Webinars

Common problems in construction planning include: poor communication, inefficient or limited resource and risk planning, and having no process for change control. However, these issues can be managed with the right project scheduling software

Join Elecosoft’s 30-minute webinar find out more. The experienced presenter understands the challenges of construction planning and will show how, with Powerproject, you can easily create an impressive project plan and use it to keep on track – even when things change.

The webinar will cover:

• Creating a project plan using drag and drop functionality
• Resource planning
• How subcontractors are using software to communicate better with contractors
• Indicators that a project is going off track
• Quick, real-time reports
• Plan updating from mobile devices.

Many contractors have staff working on large civil and infrastructure projects using software outside of their controlled Oracle Primavera P6 master programme, such as MS Excel and MS Project. Often this is because they find P6 too complex or costly for those outside the core planning team to use, such as when developing short-term programmes that expand on the level of detail held in the master programme

Whatever the reason, getting data exported, updated and imported back into P6 leads to errors and inaccuracies; breaking the link between the master programme and the individual project. These products are also not tailored to the environment in which they are used, as well as often costing more than is first thought.

This webinar will show you how you can check out sections of a project from P6 and update the schedule with a user-friendly interface within a cost-effective solution.

Elecosoft’s experienced presenter will show you how many organisations are increasingly working with Powerproject as a better user experience and how you can:

• Check out data from Primavera P6 into Powerproject
• Update progress easily – including via mobile devices on site
• Print reports for easy communication
• Reduce costs with shared licensing In addition, Powerproject includes tools for Risk Analysis and Schedule Quality Checking, providing another reason to explore the benefits it can bring to your work.

Graitec invites you to a live webinar where we will demonstrate how our scalable enterprise-level drawing and document management system, Opentree, significantly reduces the cost of delivering projects by streamlining your production and delivery processes

In an industry where collaboration is essential, it is becoming vital to produce high-quality and accurate data. Unfortunately, traditional, often human-led processes do not lend themselves well to meeting this demand and they do have an impact on efficiency and productivity.

Graitec Opentree, a drawing and document management solution, will help to meet those efficiency challenges head-on and automate the manual, but important tasks bullet-pointed below.

Graitec has been providing leading software solutions to Architects, Engineers and the Construction industry for nearly 40 years. Graitec Opentree improves and enhances document management and control that is BIM Level 2 and ISO 19650 compliant.

The latest webinar series will discuss and demonstrate the following:

1. Ensuring approved template use
2. Automate file naming and status codes in accordance to ISO 19650
3. Intelligent data linking. Ensuring important property information within the drawing and document templates.
4. Manage, review and approve process with version and revision control.
5. Filing important emails to project folders.
6. Seamless upload to mainstream CDE (common data environments) e.g. BIM360, Asite, Aconex, Viewpoint for Projects, SharePoint, Collaborator etc.

Have you or a colleague ever used an incorrect template?

Have you ever spent time searching or trying to decipher which is the latest version of a document?

Have you ever wasted time by working on a previous version of a document?

Any of these occurrences are very time consuming, frustrating and facilitates unproductive and non-billable hours. Plus, they will delay and impact any project! Potentially effecting credibility and profitability negatively and spotlighting an inefficient process.

The aim of this webinar is to demonstrate and show how Graitec Opentree eases and solves your ISO auditing needs and requirements for drawing and document management, control and process.

We invite you to register for our 45-minute webinar. Which will highlight some of the challenges you may have right now or in the near future, and how Graitec Opentree solves these challenges.

This webinar will focus on the main contaminants which can affect our health in buildings. Air pollutant sources can be external, e.g. from industry, natural sources, etc., or internal

Consequently, the air in our buildings can be ten times more polluted than the air outside! We will show what contaminants to look for, how to measure them and how to improve indoor air quality.

We will also study how indoor air is affected by outdoor air, and how we can limit the entrance of outdoor contaminants.

Join our live webinar and find out if your activities qualify. You might be surprised by what does!

Many construction businesses develop, improve, or duplicate solutions to complex challenges which could qualify for R&D tax incentives from HMRC. However, the construction industry remains one of the lowest in the UK to take advantage of these incentives.
Our live webinar will consider:

• What counts as research and development for tax;
• What types of spend qualify for R&D tax credits, including specific construction examples;
• How much cash you could be due if your activities qualify.

Working across the CAD platforms from AutoCAD into Revit and possibly back again, we need to make sure all our drawing across platforms are coordinated.

In this webinar session, we will explore how to work with site plans or building in AutoCAD working at true north but still have workable project North orientation.

In Revit, we can then understand the origin points to use, how to bring our site plans or building into Revit and have these important drawing at the correct coordinate and rotation.

We then learn why we cannot just bring content into our Revit with an insertion point or Origin to Origin or in the latest versions of Revit, Origin to Internal Origin. Overall, we will learn how to bring all our plans together in with a reliable and repeatable process.

Topics will include:

• The checks we must always do when we first receive the DWG or DXF file at the beginning of a project or whenever we get them.
• Learn where on Earth the UK origin is.
• How to accurately position our site or building plans in AutoCAD.
• How to effectively use views to have practical True North and Project North views in our AutoCAD.
• How to bring in drawings or other files into Revit without the pain of wondering where it is.
• Understanding Revit’s origin points, yes there is more than one.
• How to position sites or building in the correct position and orientation.
• Why using a Revit site plan and linking your building plans to the site make life so much easier and more accurate.
• How to have True North and Project North views in Revit.
