SPECIFICATION Tishman Construction considers the unique part of Synchro to reside in the scheduling for the visual construction with 4D modelling simulation. The company uses the Synchro software application for a number of reasons: • • • •
Revel and Tishman wanted to understand the project’s evolution in real-time. Both client and project manager could communicate better to resolve change orders. Synchro serves as a “virtual builder” to simulate construction plans with 4D modelling. Synchro helps Tishman to share collaboratively with Revel a common view of a massive and complex, multi-billion dollar project.
WHAT SYNCHRO LTD PROVIDES • • •
Support for construction modelling techniques 4D simulation software Training of the Revel and Tishman project management teams.
OUTCOMES As Construction Manager, Tishman is committed to working with Revel and applying Synchro's real-time based 4D model for idea generation and problem solving within the project team consisting of subcontractors, architects, vendors and suppliers to deliver this landmark hotel/casino complex. Christopher Seliga, First Vice President of Tishman Construction in charge of scheduling eastern U.S. operations, said, "While it's possible to create an image of a building in your mind, to see it take shape on screen, in sequence, creates a much more effective shared understanding with the entire delivery team.” How can Synchro help your company share a common view?
