VICO CONSTRUCTOR 2009
A Virtual Construction Solution

Virtually Build and Simulate Your Project for coordination,

Cost Control, and scheduling

Vico Constructor is a dedicated construction modeling application Constructor lets you:

thatenables the creation and analysis of highly detailed Virtual
Construction models. Constructor 2009 helps you solve constructability Create highly accurate Virtual
and coordination issues between disciplines, improve team communication, Construction models
and integrate design, cost, and scheduling data.
Vico Constructor modeling tools cover architectural, structural, and MEP Produce model-based
modeling, allowing you to create a true Virtual Construction model of your quantities
project. Serving as the hub of the Virtual Construction suite, Constructor
enables the swift and highly accurate production of model-based quantity Solve and communicate
take-offs and schedule information. These data are efficiently handled by constructability issues
Vico Estimator to generate cost estimates; and by Vico Control to
create project schedules. The synchronized data can be analyzed, and Benefit from model, cost, and
project progress simulated using Vico 5D Presenter. schedule data integration

This integrated Vico Software solution helps building owners and general
contractors reduce risk, manage cost, and shorten project schedules.

By simulating before building, we really eliminate many of the surprises that happen on a
construction project. These surprises all too often cost money.
