Intergraph Smart® Construction is a modern work package planning solution proven to efficiently manage construction resources, materials and schedules. Designed to meet the specific needs and challenges of construction companies, project management offices, fabricators and owners, Smart Construction is an industry-trusted solution used worldwide. Smart Construction provides real-time forecast, status, reservation and visualization of materials through built-in integration with Intergraph Smart Materials or client internal material management systems. The Smart Construction dashboard for materials enables dynamic re-planning capabilities, and a configurable planning window enables planners to make economical modifications before problems grow.

Hexagon’s PPM division created Smart Construction specifically for construction planners to more efficiently plan and manage fabrication and construction projects, resulting in enhanced safety, increased quality and improved productivity. Using current information from various sources such as 3D models, 2D engineering tools, materials management and a bidirectional interface with project controls and scheduling systems, Smart Construction ensures accurate and timely decisions can be made with the most up-to-date information. Users can view 3D models and drawing filters with enhanced 4D animation, powerful new pre-configured filters and selection rules for a 3D model. This delivers significant efficiency and improvements in building a complete work package, saving time and money.
