Synchro
Who are we? Synchro's mission is to deliver software that serves the construction delivery team and survives the dynamics of everyday life in the construction industry. Synchro currently offers construction simulation modelling at colleges and universities, 4D BIM and LEED consultancies, architects and more than 100 major construction companies in more than 65 nations among six continents. 5
Building Information Modelling
What is BIM? It is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components. 6
Building Information Modelling
What is BIM? It is more than just changing software. It requires changes to traditional phases and more data sharing BIM is able to achieve such improvements by modeling representations of the actual parts and pieces being used to build a building. This is a substantial shift from the traditional CAD method. An important word in the BIM world is
Interoperability
For BIM to work different software has to be able to work together, to facilitate this the IFC open specification has been produced.

Key Features &Benefits of Synchro
Features Focused
on Construction Planning. Can use WBS and Activity Codes. Reports such as:• Earned Value Annalists-EVA. • Resource Utilization. Ability
to create basic 3D models. Ability to divide existing 3D models and assign each a separate task. Review the impact on cost due to increased task duration. 19
Key Features &Benefits of Synchro
Features ‘User
Fields’ enable you to define company specific data which can be displayed as a histogram. Creation of AVI animations for distribution to the client or project team. Spatial Coordination detects logistic and hard clashes. External data links from Task. Supports most CAD formats including IFC 20
Key Benefits of Synchro
Benefits Clear
communications in real time. Side-by-Side scenario analysis displayed graphically. Trouble shoot and optimise the delivery approach. Primavera, Asta & MS Project round-trip data synchronisation. Support the distributed delivery team and an integrated supply chain. 21
Software Licenses Synchro Professional Synchro Professional provides Complete StandStand-Alone 4D Construction Simulation and project scheduling for comprehensive virtual construction simulation.
Synchro Express Viewer Synchro Express is our 4D Construction Simulation Viewer and is designed to provide a strong visual sense of what, when and where work is happening.
Synchro Database Module Synchro DM brings greater hardware independence to the 4D construction scheduling community using existing, standard PCs.
Synchro Server Synchro Server is a cloud based 4D Model File Server, which ensures real time communication for each connected user, while managing version control for all users of the single master project model file. 22
