Vico Office Suite

A Construction-Oriented 5D BIM Environment

The construction industry is changing rapidly. The increased demand for efficiency, shorter delivery times, and higher quality is pushing owners and contractors to adopt new business models and technologies which will give them a competitive advantage. The integration of processes and improved communication throughout the design-to-construction life cycle has proved to be an essential part of this change. Integrated Project Delivery and BIM technology are today’s buzz words, and the necessity of a truly integrated social-BIM platform becomes evident.

Vico’s next generation 5D BIM solution was created for this need. Vico Office™ is purpose-built for construction, and is designed as a tightly-integrated, BIM-neutral platform to which multiple types of BIM models can be published, synthesized, and augmented with cost and schedule information. To maximize efficiency and meet the distinctive needs of the various construction process trades and phases, Vico Office is structured in a modular way, providing you with a tailored, yet expandable solution and a consistent, easy to use environment.

Using Vico Office, building owners and general contractors can collaborate efficiently, improve predictability, reduce risk, manage cost, and optimize schedules on large, complex building projects. We believe our integrated construction management software offers project teams the flexibility to specialize their disciplines (modeling, scheduling, estimating) and still collaborate (coordination, budgeting, and project control with all stakeholders).

The Vico Office Environment

Vico Office consists of a core module - the system's cornerstone - and a set of discipline-phase-specific complementary modules, all tightly integrated in the same environment. Since every Office component shares the same integrated database, total homogeneity of the information is always guaranteed. The unified user interface and the consistent structure ease the implementation of new modules and accelerate the learning process.

The Vico Office modules support the various functions involved in a BIM project and provide for each function distinct, yet integrated, modules for exploring, planning, controlling, and managing the construction process. Each added module leverages the data, further increasing BIM process efficiency. Vico Office's unified structure perfectly matches the Integrated Project Delivery methodology and enables a truly beneficial social-BIM environment.

Team Collaboration

The Vico Office environment enables internal and external collaboration. The integrated environment, the number of parties involved, and the data ownership issues, require a flexible, collaboration technology.
With Vico Office, project team members can work simultaneously on the same project and benefit from an on-line feedback and up-to-date information.
