Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd (CGPV), developer of the upcoming Forest City township in Johor, has chosen Trimble Malaysia to equip its Industrialised Building System (IBS) base with technology solutions aimed at increasing productivity, efficiency and level of service at the precast plant.
CGPV’s IBS base, which was announced back in August last year, is said to be the largest of its kind in the world when completed. Trimble’s technology solutions will provide essential fabrication data for the ERP system that runs the IBS base and integration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes, among others. Future implementation will streamline operational flow at the factories – from design phase to fabrication and downstream quality assurance/quality control inspection – thus optimizing the entire supply chain workflow.
Trimble will also provide customized training to CGPV’s design team and on data integration with the ERP system.
“We are proud to partner Country Garden and provide the solutions they need to accelerate productivity and efficiency. With the use of the constructible Tekla model as the source of information, Country Garden is able to streamline their workflows, improve communication and have the same consistent information to utilize for creation of fabrication drawings, material reports and production data to be used downstream, thus reducing the chances of error and as a result, waste of time and effort,” said Jari Heino, General Manager of Trimble’s Structures Division.
“The construction sector is crucial to the economic growth of a country. We are committed to support the construction industry in Malaysia to realize a more efficient, productive and modernized way of working. Partnerships – both private and public – are key to achieving this; we are delighted to play our part in it.”
“As a developer of a project that takes at least two decades to complete, CGPV emphasizes on creating safer and sustainable construction environment. Compared to the conventional methods, IBS standardizes design, while digitizing, automating and modernizing the process of construction, building parts of production to save time,” added Dr. Yu Runze, Chief Strategic Officer, Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd.
