Assemble Benefits and Insights

Why use Assemble?

Key differentiators & advantages of Assemble

  • Improve Change Management: Access changes in model iterations. Highlight model updates and associated quantities to understand the budget and scope implications of project changes. 
  • Improve Project Outcomes: Identify issues during the building phase, reducing rework after construction begins. Let stakeholders access current and accurate model data during the project for better decision making. 
  • Avoid Budget Overruns: Identify cost-cutting opportunities while maintaining functional and quality performance. 
  • Increases Owner Satisfaction: Get informed about job progress, improve business relationships, retain clients and empower teams to deliver projects within budget and on time. 
  • Evaluate Design Changes: Recognize design changes between iterations using model variance capabilities. Explain changes, whether in type or quantity, in project estimates. 
  • Customizable: Manage parameters for Timeline, Vico or Synchro and sync the data to the Revit model to update scheduling and phasing. Integrate data with models to connect quantities with procurement, logistics and scheduling. 
  • Improve Collaboration: Create views and share them with project teams, ensuring that the team is working with current and updated data sets. 
  • Track Project Progress: Track project progress by integrating activity IDs to BIM and connecting material quantities to the project timeline to create schedules. 
  • Design for Constructability:  Improve model integrity to increase the durability of the model. Create a model where information can be added and given to the owner after the project is complete for facilities management. 
  • Identify Risk: Visualize the construction process before structures are built. Identify safety and potential risks while protecting the crew from hazards.

Researcher's Summary:

Assemble Insight offers tools to assess a model’s finish and accelerates its takeoff. It helps compare models with drawings and offers the ability to leverage quantities by group, code and quantity. It generates various metrics to track work progress, swiftly extracts relevant information and offers collaborative model visualizations with team members. However, the system doesn’t calculate variations in models accurately, is slow to handle large projects, has a cluttered homepage and cannot be used as a standalone estimation solution.

Key Features

  • Quantity Takeoff:  Increase bid accuracy by extracting quantities based on precise data in BIM models. Quantify and visualize changes between iterations. 
  • Subcontractor Management: Manage issues and project scopes that impact schedule and cost. Address any potential issues before they start. 
  • Field Management: Integrate with Procore, let users take models to the field for project control, keeping projects within the budget and on time. 
  • Better Model Quality: Access model properties to identify incorrect or missing information. Manage model properties to collate data, ensuring quality for BIM workflows. 
  • Performs Model Takeoff: Extract based on accurate information in BIM models and explain costs by scope to confirm subcontractor quantities. 
  • Access to 3D Models: Manage industrial projects and facilitate collaboration between multiple stakeholders by providing detailed reports and data-driven decisions.
