Introduction to Forma (Formerly Autodesk Spacemaker)

00:05

According to McKinsey construction is lagging behind on productivity.

00:10

We have done a lot when it comes to the BIM revolution but we have failed to make digital investments in early phase development.

00:20

We are still using software that doesn't fully inform us to make good decisions.

00:25

We may pattern some numbers, do some volume studies, but we don't really assess how viable those solutions are. And we work in silos.

00:34

Everyone is doing their own job producing reports, drawings.

00:39

But all of this is happening in a non-collaborative manner, which of course, results in extremely time-consuming processes.

00:48

But there is a huge opportunity here.

00:51

According to Skanska, 50% of the value creation takes place between concept and design and planning. 50% - that's a lot.

01:00

And so, it's important that you are as productive, efficient and effective as you can be during this phase.

01:08

In a nutshell,

01:09

we can explain how our product improves productivity during these phases in three ways - creating 3D models in minutes,

01:19

allow you to develop hundreds of different concepts in seconds and be able to make good decisions with real time analysis.

01:29

First, the only thing you need to do is to write the address of the plot.

01:34

Then you get the huge 3D model of the whole neighborhood.

01:39

Currently this will take you around two days but with space maker it takes just a few minutes.

01:45

I love this feature, especially in sight acquisition because now I can do five studies a day.

01:53

Secondly, AI power design here,

01:56

you can leverage generative design to make sure you explore the full solution room so you can consider as many solutions as possible.

02:06

But also, be confident that you are choosing the one that is the most potential.

02:12

Last but not least, real time analysis you get over 100 different analysis points per solution,

02:20

without involving any consultant or paying for reports,

02:26

and with information comes better decisions at every step of the process.

02:32

Now I will leave you with a quote from Bob's CEO.

02:45

Every time we start a new project, we kind of reinvent the will we start completely from scratch and this cost us time and money.

02:54

The first concept I want to introduce to you is knowledge sharing.

02:59

You may give access to everyone in your company to projects that you have solved in a very successful way,

03:07

and let them learn from it.

03:09

Let's for example jump into this project.

03:12

We can learn about the key figures, plan layouts,

03:16

how they have sold for daylight and sun and even re-utilize some of these buildings in other projects.

03:24

In other words, we are talking about standardizing building solutions, let's say that we are now starting these projects.

03:32

After creating it, we can jump into design mode.

03:36

Now we go into assets and there we can see the modules that our company normally uses,

03:44

we know exactly how much they cost, how long they take to build and that they have very successful plan layouts in just a matter of seconds.

03:54

We have already our plot populated with these buildings and we have full control over key figures, living qualities.

04:02

And we would be in a very good place to make some conclusions if this would be a site acquisition case.

04:09

Last but not least,

04:11

you have the opportunity to standardize workflows so that your team always follows the same process independently of the project.

04:20

In this slide, we can see four steps. Go in. It's all about creating the project, setting up the constraints.

04:28

Go wide, consider as many solutions as possible.

04:32

Go deep, identify all the risk drivers and opportunities for optimization.

04:38

And finally go out, produce all the reports and deliver materials that you need.

04:45

And now I leave you with a quote from marking vice president of Miliarium.
