ConstructSim Approach
• Drive priorities based on “ideal” construction

sequence based
on turnover systems
• Expedite both engineering and fabrication to
deliver against ideal plan
• Allocate materials based on priorities
• Accurately track effort for completion
• Manage work-fronts effectively
as constraints change on site

Client Feedback
Increase field Save time and cost on
productivity 7 – 25% Brownfield projects
– Streamline sequencing – TIC $50M – Savings $1M
– Reduced rework – Completed 1 month
– Automated production ahead
of work packages of schedule
– Work packages are
executable

ConstructSim
2x faster 1.8x faster
Diesel Refinery: $2M Savings in Mechanical Sub Change Orders
Background
– New Refinery Unit - TIC $320M
– Lump Sum Contract with Mechanical Sub
– ConstructSim Pipe purchased by Owner and
utilized by Construction Management firm
ConstructSim Use Case

“ ConstructSim enabled
us to recover project – Excessive change order submitted by
schedule losses, and Mechanical Sub
complete on time - – Actual progress not in alignment with
without paying for

progress reported
unwarranted change – ConstructSim used to analyze change order
orders.” and update progress reporting system
Claim: $2.5M
Settled: $0.5M
Offshore Platform: Saved $17M, Reduced Schedule 3 Months
Background
– Deepwater Offshore Platform - $150M
– Time and materials contract with Fab Yard
– ConstructSim Pipe purchased by Owner and
utilized by module Fab Yard contractor
ConstructSim Use Case

“ The labour efficiency
we obtained using – ConstructSim used to re-baseline
ConstructSim enabled project schedule
us to save 3 months – Development of crew-level work face
and U.S.$17M, as well

plans with ConstructSim
as reduce the punch list – Project completes on time, under budget,
items by over 99%.” and sails away with only 7 punch list items
(compared to 1000’s for other projects)
