Promising Hope for Construction Industry

Promising Hope for Construction Industry

The construction industry had been suffering from inefficient business process and lagging behind most industries in terms of technology implementation. Objective World brings industry’s first enterprise-class solution that addresses problems over the entire building lifecycle through an integrated intelligent building information model (i-BIM).

CYBERJAYA, MALAYSIA — 21 August 2009 — Objective World today announced its premier locally developed product, xD Building Lifecycle Enterprise Suite (xDBLES), a software solution that comprises a range of seamlessly integrated modules that provide functionality from initial planning, feasibility study and conceptual design phase all the way through design and construction to facility maintenance and operations management. Each module of the suite works with a central intelligent building information model (i-BIM), which is a digital representation of real-world objects that "know" what they are, associate with computable graphic and data attributes, and rules that describe how this data behaves. This effectively provides an ideal platform for visualization, documentation, and simulation.

"The existing solutions available in the industry comprise independent set of tools that are solely built for a specific purpose, which not only makes data interoperability problematic, but as a building project progresses from one stage to another, the same project data often gets recreated by each stakeholder in the process, which is highly prone to information loss, inconsistency, and redundancy," said Dr. Peter Key, chief executive officer, Objective World. "xD Building Lifecycle Enterprise Suite ensures that a single data model is used, where it will be interacted with at various stages during the building lifecycle, with stakeholders both adding to and utilizing the evolving building model."

Depending on who you are, and which stage of building lifecycle you are at, xDBLES offers benefits that you required. For property developers, it automates cost and quantity estimates, and supports rapid conceptual design modeling for initial planning and feasibility studies. For architects and engineers, it streamlines multi-disciplinary design collaboration through a single design model, automates production of construction documents, and provides instant cost estimation as the design evolves. For builders, it enables off-site fabrication by synchronizing design and construction planning to ensure procurement is done at the right time, with the exact quantities and specifications. For facility managers, it serves as a single accurate interactive manual for managing and operating the building with complete facility information, with simulation tools to optimize operation parameters and simulate facility operations for maintenance, retrofit, and disaster response planning.

"xD Building Lifecycle Enterprise Suite is not merely a standalone software solution. It is a platform that opens up for integration with existing enterprise information systems, such as CRM, ERP, Project Planning, Budget Control, Supply Chain Management, and CMMS, to fulfill the complete business processes for the entire organization," said Mr. Thomas Cheah, chief technology officer at Objective World. "For the first time, the construction industry can enjoy an integrated enterprise-class solution that is specifically tailored for their business processes."

The pilot implementation of xDBLES was done successfully in Bahrain last year. The company is expecting more implementations in India and Malaysia this year. They are currently looking for system integrators and value added resellers to provide support on consultancy, implementation, and training to their clients.
