"Essentially, we’ve created a means to seamlessly and efficiently work with our design partner from napkin sketch through GMP (guaranteed maximum price) potentially cutting weeks or months off of the preconstruction process,”. “Possibly more exciting is the fact that this process includes full visualization throughout, linking every element of each estimate with its corresponding digital model component.” - John Jacobs, in a recent article on lineshapespace.com
