What if you could mitigate these potential risk factors with better recommendations on materials or by scheduling and sequencing job site work? What is the right strategy for placing precast concrete panels? Or the optimum placement of a crane? A software algorithm can test numerous scenarios for potential solutions to find the best one. Cost overruns and waste are always the enemies of construction. Now think about a typical construction project and shifting your approach to the actual procedure of building, and not just what you’re building, but how it is built. How might it change the way you design if, like in the first scenario, your software could help discover the implications of the goals you define instead? This entire process takes days or weeks as you review the options.

You tediously go through the hundreds of location variables (kitchens, bathrooms, desks, or communal space placements) produced by your choices as the design develops. In the other scenario, you sit down and manually calculate how your design parameters impact other aspects of the office building like energy loads and construction costs. This all takes place in a fraction of the time that it normally takes you to manually arrive at one or two best guess approximations. After you define the criteria, your design tools generate all the best possible outcomes with a single analysis and evaluate the alternatives. In one scenario, your first step is to define the design parameters by describing the amount of light you want for desks depending on the season, the desired views for conference rooms, and the maximum amount you want to spend for construction.
