The MEP Contractor's Guide to Constructibility
4
By liberating data and breaking down silos, coordination and product management
are improved across every touchpoint.
Of course, all the data in the world is not going to help anyone if it can't be quickly
and easily shared, discussed, understood, and integrated into every phase of the
construction workflow. So, the necessary hardware and software solutions bridge that
gap, allowing…

Architects and designers to effectively communicate their ideas to the estimators
and project managers
Detailers to effectively process jobs through fabrication
Contractors and project managers to appropriately coordinate the building
work onsite
Facility managers to take full advantage of constructible content to get the most
out of their new buildings
Constructible content is any digital asset that provides the technical information and
geometric parameters necessary to fully define a physical object such as a building
component, length of pipe, or fabricated housing for machinery. Working with Managed
Content ensures that 3D models are created using the most up-to-date data and parts'
specifications direct from the manufacturer. That way, there's no confusion as to what
it is, what it's for, where it goes, and how it needs to be installed.
When various pieces of constructible content are connected as described above, it
allows experts at every phase of a construction project to easily collaborate to turn an
architect's initial idea into a completed structure.
