Construction Events & Webinars

The challenges of project planning on many infrastructure and maintenance projects (e.g. roads, railways, pipelines, etc.) depends not only on what things happen but also where they happen

The location is often a key driver in how the project needs to be organised and you need to understand and use the Time-Chainage technique.

Join Elecosoft’s 30-minute webinar to find out more. Our experienced presenter understands the challenges of construction planning and will show how, with TILOS, you can use the distance component to fully define the scope of work and plan in a new way.

The webinar will cover:

• The concepts and basics of Time-Chainage and Tilos
• Creating a project plan using drag and drop functionality
• Linking tasks with distance as a driver
• Export and import to Excel, P6, Powerproject, Microsoft Project
• Baseline and progress
• Mass-haul

When it comes to steel connections design, complex topologies often account for a huge amount of manhours. Engineers usually design these connections via hand calculations or with the help of spreadsheets. But what if we could design them in a quick and reliable manner along with our preferred structural analysis software?

Join this webinar by Graitec to discover all the features Advance Design Connection offers to enhance the connections design within Robot Structural Analysis.

• Standard connection types available in Robot
• Connection design according to EC3
• Integration with Advance Design Connection
• Design reports and drawings

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.

Does Revit do everything you need it to do? Would Automation of common tasks have no benefit to you? Are you a qualified/competent programmer that understands the API?

If you answered no to any if not all of these questions, then this webinar is for you.

A lot of people have heard of Dynamo BIM for Revit, unfortunately some people only see it as a computational concept design tool. This webinar will open your eyes to the powerful tool that is Dynamo.

You will see how:

• Dynamo is a visual node-based tool
• Dynamo lets you do things Revit can’t
• Common task can be automated
• To interact with Excel to import and use data
• To use more advance features for interacting with the API
• To use custom packages to add functionality
• Real world projects that benefited from Dynamo

• Auditing and Colour coding Models into different disciplines and breaking them down to smaller parts
• Zoning of Areas within your models
• Provide greater level of information into your model
• Manage & Organise Clash detection schedules & Reports into a style that suits you
• Exporting Data in line with BIM workflow

Since the introduction of BIM Level 2 in 2011, there has been a big focus on Level of Detail and Level of Information required in a model. There has been some confusion where one starts and the other stops. This webinar will run through the key differences, and how to populate content with the right information for both asset and geometry.

The webinar will focus on the following areas:

• Understanding Level of Detail (LOD)
• Understanding the different levels and how they apply to phases of a project
• Asset information – Level of Information (LOI)
• Using Parameter information – text based and hyperlinks
• Naming conventions for LOI
