Our proprietary B4UB™ (Before You Build) technology is a sophisticated 3D modeling application that instantly converts standard 2D models into visually accessible three-dimensional cross sections that pinpoint the conflicting overlay of different system designs with amazing clarity. With B4UB™, seeing is believing because nothing is left to the imagination; you can walk into the model and view exactly where the air conditioning duct will collide with the lighting fixture or the inexplicable turn that the water pipe takes into the ventilation motor. B4UB™ coordination experts can work with any standard 2D application, so there is nothing disruptive to the standard design practices that are employed by the architects and AS&MEP agencies hired by developers. The investments in their current technology are protected and no additional training overhauls are necessary. In fact, with Ziggurat, the client is virtually passive in the transformation process that ensues, which is administered through the auspices of our comprehensive coordination service. |
A proprietary, simple to use B4UB™ viewer enables clients to review the 3D modeling of their project on their work stations and lap tops. This highly useful tool helps design teams eliminate potential errors and improve their outputs between coordination meetings. Prior to every coordination meeting, the Ziggurat Coordination expert uploads the most recent designs received from the various project teams into the system and utilizes the B4UB™ technology and mathematical algorithms to pinpoint and mark conflict spots. An accurate 3D model is then automatically generated from the familiar 2D diagram overlays, further illustrating the nature of the potential clashes. The spatial imaging enables designers to see how their plans would be executed in reference to other systems occupying the same area, significantly reducing the learning curve and eliminating any guessing games as to what to do next. |
