If your plans aren’t right the errors and inefficiencies throughout the building process will cost you time, energy and money.
Lean processes have revolutionized most industries around the world and are slowly making their way into homebuilding. Yet builders who have implemented lean processes have not focused on the core of most lean opportunities — their construction drawings. Why? The technology and processes historically available to manage their product development and product management processes have not supported the mass–customization trend that has evolved in the industry and builders have seen tackling this problem as too complex and too costly.
3D Lean-Design enables builders to electronically model the constructability of each combination of base plan and structural options before building “prototype” homes in the field. 3D models can drive material take–offs to reduce material waste while improving the accuracy of estimates.
Blackpoint Builder Services, coming in January 2010, will enable you can implement Lean–Design and go 3D – Faster and Cheaper than you ever thought possible.
