Model reviews highlight project progress
The use of 3D model reviews are essential throughout the life-cycle of a project. They can be used to determine project milestones and show progress to the client for billing.
The 3D model represents the plant that is to be built, in a three dimensional environment.
To utilise Ticodi Ltd’s Model Reviews to their full extent, it is important to ensure all departments who may have an impact, or be affected by or involved with the plant design and construction make use of the latest technology available.
