VisualisationVisualisation has become a common element in the design of construction projects. Visualisation trends are now leading to visual use throughout all stages of construction with 4D, the use of a 3D drawings interacting with the Asta PowerProject timeline. Our visualisation technologies will play a key role in future construction as we lead in to the era of Building Information Modelling(BIM).

CAD/DesignFor many years, Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been an integral element in building design. Precise CAD drawings alone are no longer enough with software demands continually increasing as quick and accurate building information is shared throughout the project. Our construction software is working toward integrating building information into designs.

EngineeringEngineering is vital to the success of any building project. Engineering calculations will determine the requirements and performance of the design. The modern construction project is heavily reliant of accurate engineering software to produce time and cost savings while meeting structural building regulations.

EstimationModern construction relies heavily on fast, accurate, cost effective solutions that meet requirements. Our cost estimation software range fulfils the needs of accurate cost calculations to streamline purchasing. Working with our project management tools provides very powerful management of funds during the project lifecycle.

Project ManagementEfficient management in all areas of the construction project has always been fundamentally important. The modern construction climate requires more demanding schedules to produce maximum cost savings while maintaining safety standards and reducing carbon emissions, making time and record keeping extremely valuable. Our Project Management software plays a pivotal role in meeting these demands on all sizes of projects.

CAD/Design

ARCON Visual Architecture is a CAD application dedicated to designing building exteriors and interiors. Detailed plans can be rapidly drawn while cross-sections and side elevations can be generated automatically on screen. By utilising an easy-to-use interface with dedicated tools for each part of a design, users can plan out and see their ideas in real-time 3D simply by drawing a 2D plan. This is what makes ARCON software the perfect choice if you are new to CAD or require something to compliment your existing CAD software.

Developed for use by architectural professionals, but quickly adopted by the self-build market, ARCON Visual Architecture has since been discovered by many other users over its 16 years of development. The simplicity and speed with which plans can be created makes it the ideal tool for planning and visualising projects including self-builds, extensions, loft conversions, renovations and all aspects of a building project.

Over 500,000 ArCon licences (Prof. + Retail)

Eleco M@trix timber engineering management application that can link Consultec Framing and StairCon, into one environment. Used from project inception to completion and delivery to site; the .NET developed solution can control estimating, order processing and invoicing using central data source. With a fully integrated Customer Resource Management (CRM) module, Eleco M@trix combines all department and management data to provide real-time reporting.

This management application can help run overall manufacturing businesses from one site to multiples which provides added value in the sharing of critical data. Details of production capacities suited to each of the business functionsassists in the procurement process of timber engineering requirements from personnel requirements, through to volume of stock required for job completion and dispatch. Reports styled to suit customer specific needs, present up-to-date project information, departmental capacity and production levels. With essential inventory of materials and prices, immediate market changes can be placed into live project data.

Development for Eleco M@trix is continuing with new markets being identified and investigated.

Eleco M@trix

StatCon Structural Post & Beam is designed to facilitate the process of post and beam constructions in wood and steel in accordance with the EuroCode. EuroCode complicance makes StatCon quickly adaptable to new markets within the European community.

The program´s user interface (GUI) is developed with latest technology and can be adapted to individual needs. With a built-in "design guide" the input of data is simplified for greater efficency. The design takes place according to the standard calculation selected. The results are presented on screen both graphically and in tabular form. The program automatically calculates the load value for snow, wind and imposed loads according to selected design criteria. The actual calculation work is done efficiently and completely automated using the 3D FE analysis (Finite Element). Failures are prevented with the "Failure Control" features. The results are shown visually on the screen with detailed print options.

Currently there are Norwegian and Swedish NA (National Application) implemented with a further growth to be expected.
