BuilderMT & CG Visions Ink Alliance & Integration Agreement, Bridging the Last Digital Workflow Gap Between Building Informing Models, Sales, Estimating, Accounting, & Purchasing

CG Visions’ Building Information Modeling Integrates Digital Design and Options Selection With BuilderMT and its Software Partners

BuilderMT, the nation’s leading provider of production management software for the construction sector, today announced a new integration and marketing alliance with CG Visions. CG Visions is a “Building Information Modeling” (BIM) provider that also offers 3D design, material takeoffs and graphical-option-selection systems through their service offerings: BIM consulting, Residential Plan Service, Option management, Marketing Services, and their web based flex floor plan configuration tool – e-HomeInVision tm.

For the first time, a homebuilder using BuilderMT can now “digitally populate” an entire family of best-practice software products with data feeds from rules-based BIM files managed by CG Visions. For instance, CG Visions BIM files that contain options selections, framing, roofing specs and materials can now – without re-entry of data – integrate directly with the databases of BuilderMT’s allied accounting, estimating, customer relationship management (CRM) and warranty systems, all driven by BuilderMT’s multipleaward- winning Workflow Management Suite.

A hot topic in the construction sector, “Building Information Modeling” is a way to digitally manage the spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components. A BIM solution, which CG Visions provides, can model the construction process, while predicting quantities, extracting product specs, and creating scope of work documents.

Managing this data within BuilderMT’s best-of-breed solutions (called the BASE Alliance) was recently made dramatically easier with the introduction of the hot-selling Business Process Manager (BPM) software, which just landed a coveted spot on Professional Builder magazine’s “100 Best New Products 2008.” With BPM, users “dragand- drop” graphical icons that represent activities along the critical path of the construction process. As icons are aligned on the screen, C# code is automatically written to integrate dissimilar databases.

CG Visions, BuilderMT, BPM and the Base Alliance companies now offer the unprecedented ability to enter data in any one of their systems and make it immediately available to all the systems, whether they are performing 3D-room scenario and architectural modeling, or sales, purchasing, estimating, workflow management, and warranty.
