Main contractor

The contractor is responsible for the construction execution of the project in accordance with the contract documents.  The plans and specification of the project are often generated from the 3D model, which has been created by the design team or the architect.

Project managers execute the project by a structured planning process. The use of specific project management software linked to the 3D model enables organisation of tasks and is paramount in obtaining vital and timely information.

Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) software can be linked to the 3D model to automate the collection and maintenance of site / facilities management information.

CAFM systems provide the tools to track, report and maintain information on the following:

• Floor plans

• Building and property information

• Space characteristics and usage

• Employee and occupancy data

• Workplace assets (furniture and equipment)

• Business continuity and safety information

• LAN and telecom information
