Construction Software Enables 10% Extra Carpet Area

Tekla Structures, has delivered 10% extra carpet area with the same budget for a large-scale housing project by Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) at Ghatakia and Subudhipur. BDA had awarded Inventaa Industries with the construction of this affordable housing project, which chose Tekla Structures as Building Information Modelling (BIM) software for developing high-quality and low cost precast concrete structures for this project, which were instrumental in keeping the construction costs low. The software enabled Inventaa to control the project in a centralized manner right from design to planning, monitoring and improving upon the execution of the project on-site. The tight block layouts at various parts and narrow approach for elements and crane positioning added on to the already restricted site-space challenge. The project was completely handled in-house including the development of the architectural concept, structural engineering/design, production of the precast elements, installation of precast elements with all the requisite structural work at the site, and finally the installation of services (MEP) and architectural finishing.
