Simpad’s New 3D CAD, “Building Information Modeling” Service to Debut at 2010 International Builders’ Show

WOBURN, Mass. - (Business Wire) Simpad, a plan services company for homebuilders, today announced that it has developed a new 3D CAD “Building Information Modeling” service that the Company will debut at the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

Simpad’s new service will solve a problem long thought to be the “Achilles’ Heel” of homebuilders, specifically, how to obtain home plans that reflect the changes made by homebuyers during the sales and option process. The service will provide builders with “as-sold” construction drawings on-demand, at a fraction of the cost of making changes manually to their master plan sets. The overall savings will be enormous to any builder who has ever constructed homes based on faulty or inaccurate plans.

With plans generated from a 3D model, builders will now be able to effectively manage base-plan and option libraries, generate lot-specific “as-sold” construction plans, and create detailed take-offs that include structural options selected during the sales process. Moreover, Simpad’s service offers material quantity take-offs that reflect real-time information for estimators, which in turn provides the critical information needed to ensure that homes are built within as-sold budgets.

“Our new product will solve a core problem for builders by creating 3D CAD Building Information Models that accurately represent the base plans and all structural options, exactly as-sold by the sales office,” said Richard Kashian CEO of Simpad. “We will provide a level of accuracy that most builders today can only dream of, and we will do it very affordably.”

Engineered for Offshore Growth

It’s true. Specialised high-tech jobs are indeed coming across the wires and into Indian networks

Outsourced design is gaining momentum: The overall worldwide slowdown in the aerospace, automotive and industrial machinery sectors is resulting in margins getting squeezed leaving Fortune 500 companies with no other option but to explore lower cost geographies. Outsourced engineering design is gaining momentum with companies beginning to outsource their design tasks to accelerate time to market as well as leverage lower cost geographies.

What has been outsourced to India in the past in the engineering field is mainly high volume, low value work like scanning drawings and converting them into digital format, markup of old drawings and migration of CAD data from one system to another. This kind of service fetches around US$ 10 to 15 per man-hour.

However, in recent times, with data connectivity between India and rest of the world improving vastly and western companies facing tremendous cost and time-to-market pressures, higher end engineering services work is coming to India. Among these are tasks such as 3D modelling, finite analysis, computational fluid dynamics analysis, drawing up technical specifications for tenders, plant engineering, redesigning for improved cost/performance ratio and value engineering. These tasks could get anywhere from US$ 25 to US$ 35 per man-hour.

Almost all the leading listed IT services players in India offer engineering design services. Most of the bigger players are serving prominent Fortune 500 companies. There are also a few players that are solely focused on engineering design services.
