The world of construction and engineering design is rapidly evolving thanks to innovative technologies. One of the key players in this transformation is Sweco from Finland, which has introduced the SmartDrawings service and a new approach to 4D modeling. These tools not only simplify project work but also elevate efficiency to a whole new level.

What is SmartDrawings?

SmartDrawings is a service that enables the visualization of building structures and engineering systems. Thanks to its capabilities, all project participants gain access to 3D drawings and plans through a convenient QR code. This means you can view the latest BIM model on your laptop or smartphone without the need for additional software.

Key benefits of SmartDrawings:

• Project Management: Easy access to all necessary information.
• Planning: Accuracy and efficiency in working with drawings.
• Construction: Convenience on the construction site.

Additionally, SmartDrawings allows working with PDF drawings, diagrams, and reports, as well as tracking the history of changes in the project.

Why is 4D Modeling the Future?

While 3D models have already become a standard in design, 4D modeling opens up new horizons. It adds another dimension to the three-dimensional model – time. This allows:

• Planning and visualizing projects virtually.
• Understanding what, where, how, and when things happen at each stage of construction.
• Avoiding clashes and delays during installation.
• Collaborating effectively with various industries and stakeholders.

4D modeling becomes an indispensable tool for logistics, procurement, safety, and demolition. It not only helps avoid mistakes but also significantly reduces construction costs.

How to Start Using 4D Now?

Sweco offers the VDCO (Virtual Design, Construction, and Operation) service, which includes all the benefits of 4D modeling. This approach enables the creation of conceptual designs, validation of concepts, and optimization of construction processes.

Sweco in Ukraine

As Europe’s largest engineering company, Sweco actively works in Ukraine through its official partners – Economy of Trust Ukraine Incorporated and Ukraine Development Alliance. Together, they implement.

SmartDrawings and 4D modeling are not just tools but a new approach to construction and design. They allow you to stay one step ahead, avoid mistakes, and ensure high-quality work.
