Integrated Precast Solutions (IPS) Pte Ltd’s experience in Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), Prefabricated Bathroom Units (PBU), and other conventional precast products have made them one of the leaders in advanced precast concrete technology in Singapore, providing expertise and comprehensive services both as a precaster and consultant.
One of the challenges precast fabricators face is the drawing approvals stage. Typically, drawing revisions are tracked manually on an excel sheet, as individual BIM members will have their own copies of the drawing revisions, either stored on individual workstations, or on a shared server. The tracked revisions are then reconciled and updated to the Master Drawing List (MDL) for weekly or monthly reporting. This process is tedious and time-consuming, as revision numbers and dates have to be promptly updated whenever there are any modifications, as well as the approval status after the consultant reverts on the drawings. This has led to IPS implementing a more efficient system – a centralised BIM-based drawing approval system, with the help of Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect.
