Asta Powerproject 4-D Capability Showcased at BIM Forum

ATLANTA, Ga. – AstaPowerproject makes it easy for construction project managers, schedulers and superintendents to access the power of 3-D BIM modeling. Asta Powerproject added BIM functionality in 2015 and was showcased at the BIM Forum Oct. 17-19.

The conference brought together architects, engineers and construction pros to explore how BIM is transforming the way the “human-made landscape” of buildings, parks, cities and neighborhoods get made.

Conference goers attended educational sessions on new ways to incorporate the power of BIM into real-world projects. Some discussion topics included adopting and using a national BIM standard, enabling BIM collaboration across AEC teams and managing workflows. In-depth case studies of major new builds and remodels using BIM were also featured.

Attendees also had a chance to experience BIM software tools first-hand.

For many construction teams, Asta Powerproject’s BIM module will offer the right mix of features and value. The module, an optional upgrade, gives project planners the key benefits of BIM and 4-D planning without the heavy expense or learning curve of a separate system.

Asta Powerproject reads industry-standard IFC databases and shows the 3-D model in a window right in the scheduling application. This major upgrade ties the time component of scheduling to the 3-D model, resulting in “4D.” Users can see where the build should be at various stages of the timeline and even adjust the timeline by clicking on an element in the BIM model to bring up its corresponding schedule.
