Advancements in 4D/5D Models and Addition of
Cost and Performance Management Make Model-based Construction
Projects Easier to Deliver
Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure
engineering software company, today announced advancements to its
construction management solution with enhancements to SYNCHRO 4D
and the addition of SYNCHRO Cost and SYNCHRO Perform applications.
The new advancements and portfolio expansion enable construction
firms to transform how they plan, manage, and execute their
projects.

“SYNCHRO helps The Lane Construction Corporation have access to
all our project-level data. Our field and corporate managers, along
with the executives who lead them, now have timely access to
critical business information through SYNCHRO,” said Andy Kaiyala,
former vice president of bid development, The Lane Construction
Corporation. “It is access to this information that helps improve
forward-looking decision-making. Our industry has been far too
reliant on backward-looking reports and analysis. It is time to
start looking ahead and planning for success. SYNCHRO helps us make
a plan that we can rely on.”
SYNCHRO 4D now offers advanced 4D/5D model authoring with
leading-edge model-splitting tools to create constructible
components, assignment of construction attributes to the model,
mixed reality modeling, construction geometry placement, and web
and mobile access to improve team collaboration, status updates,
and progress reporting from the field. The addition of SYNCHRO Cost
helps project teams control budgets and track financial progress
throughout the contract with support for multicontract capture,
payment application tracking, and change order management,
minimizing financial risk and maximizing project profits. SYNCHRO
Perform enables construction performance management including the
ability to capture daily progress quantities, diaries, unplanned
events, timesheets, tickets, and estimated field costs to provide
the shortest cycle time for project feedback and productivity
insights.
Construction firms are striving to deliver more complex
projects, address resource gaps and supply chain disruptions, and
manage data transparency issues while trying to win more work,
manage risk, and deliver profitability. SYNCHRO’s advancements in
leveraging 4D/5D models with web access for team collaboration,
performance management for progress tracking and reporting, and
cost management to minimize risk and maximize profits will
transform the way projects are planned and delivered – with
digitized workflows to address these challenges.
Leading-edge construction firms are using 4D models to build and
optimize schedules and communicate sequencing and staging in a
virtual environment. Digital rehearsals are a core part of their
planning process to ensure resources are optimized, reducing rework
and increasing safety. With the enhancements to SYNCHRO 4D, the
accessibility and value of the 4D model is extended to more project
stakeholders. The new capabilities improve communication and
coordination of optimized plans, enabling real-time collaboration
and model-based field-collected data to ensure projects stay on
track.
“Construction teams need to ensure that they are in control of
both the schedule and costs of their projects,” said Rich Humphrey,
vice president of construction at Bentley Systems. “The addition of
SYNCHRO Cost and SYNCHRO Perform extends SYNCHRO’s industry leading
4D scheduling and project management solutions to include more
capabilities to help contractors manage their costs and effectively
connect the planning and tracking of costs and schedule. Time is
money and we want project teams to save more of both with
SYNCHRO.”
SYNCHRO Cost works with SYNCHRO 4D’s model-based quantity
take-off, which includes model splitting to generate constructible
components complete with work breakdown structure and cost codes so
that estimators can quickly and accurately generate estimates.
Moreover, SYNCHRO Cost can control contract changes and simplify
payment applications, tracking line items and percentage complete
against a schedule of values.
SYNCHRO Cost leverages the performance data in SYNCHRO Perform
so project teams can manage and leverage field performance data to
gain an accurate picture of actual costs from the field to compare
to planned costs and schedule, delivering a complete view of the
project’s performance. These digital workflows better connect the
office and job site with real-time information. Supplementing
contracts and change orders with evidentiary documents and images
can prove invaluable in avoiding contract disputes.
With daily, clear line-of-sight into the management of all site
resources from staff, sub-contractors, and equipment, SYNCHRO
Perform fills the gaps between end-of-month financial reporting
cycles. And, with project leadership potentially at a disadvantage
when it comes to decision-making due to delays in progress capture
and errors in data entry, SYNCHRO Perform provides a timely source
of truth for all performance management data and metrics, so that
project leadership knows the health of every project.
Construction-specific features capture daily progress quantities,
diaries, unplanned events, timesheets, tickets, and estimated costs
from field personnel, providing leadership with the timely data
they need to make informed decisions.
SYNCHRO supports the entire heavy civil construction project
lifecycle, empowering firms going digital with real-time insight
into the performance, productivity, and financial health of their
projects to make more-informed, data-driven decisions. Project
teams stay connected and become collaborative with simple mobile
and web interfaces for office-to-field workflows.
