Construction Management

 

Oracle Aconex is a sophisticated software platform to communicate and store documents securely for any scale of a project. One of the major advantages of the software is that large number of users can be added and be able to use it at the same time.

 

As construction management software, Aconex is used for services that include construction project information and process management. This comprises a variety of items: managing processes, documents, drawings and building information models. The others are communications, workflow, audit trails and other project information online both mobile and web access.

 

BIM (building information modeling)

 

The oracle aconex cloud solution brings in the capacity of seamless collaboration between project members to speed up the project delivery and eliminate complexity. The Oracle Aconex Model Coordination cloud service eliminates the difficulties faced for Building Information Modeling (BIM) which is a significant component of construction project delivery. As a mobile application, it improves the way project teams conduct building inspections. It replaces inefficient and error prone paper and manual processes with slick technology to capture distribute and track issues.

 

The following are some of the product features in relation to its being construction management software.

 

Advanced communications

 

The software avoids the limitations of manual correspondence with a standardized digital process that provides project-wide access and visibility. You can configure Aconex to your processes and capture the right data in the right format. The mail routing automates the business processes, while ensuring that the best practices minimizes the chance of human error. It can also easily track process communications, keeping up to date on progress, and avoiding bottlenecks.

 

The application automatically logs all communications and cannot be deleted, providing a complete project record and unalterable audit trail.

 

Integrated cost management

 

There is visibility in budgets, forecasts, and projective outcomes. This enables early corrective actions. It also tracks and reports on any project level with unlimited work breakdown structure elements, control accounts, and work packages. The application uses earned-value methods like cost-performance-index (CPI) and schedule-performance-index (SPI) to forecast your costs. It keeps budget and schedule synchronized with one-click integration with Oracle’s Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management.

 

Common data environment

 

With Aconex, BIM model coordination, connecting teams, models and project data are simplified. It also seamlessly shares, reviews, and contributes to models without specialized software. It saves time by importing and opening Revit files directly within Aconex. It utilizes a single platform to raise, communicate, and manage the coordination process with a dashboard to control and monitor progress.

 

Quality and safety processes

 

With the application, there is improved visibility and performance tracking via rapidly deployable reports and dashboards. It also increases organization-wide visibility of performance by creating and sharing organization-specific KPIs to drive decision making.

 

The software also refines the reports with the needed information and configures report and dashboards to suit specific organizational needs. It maps dashboards to your business to better track, control, and optimize critical process.

 

Likewise, it improves data accuracy with project-wide access to secure one source of reporting truth. Finally, it provides a complete set of linked handover information and full audit trail of all decisions at project completion.
