Vico Software announced its partnership with Autodesk, whereby Vico's 5D Virtual Construction solutions and services will be integrated with Autodesk's leading technology and solutions for the AEC industry.
With the adoption of BIM accelerating, it is advantageous for General Contractors and Owners to have the combination of Vico's integrated 5D capabilities within the Autodesk solutions environment.
According to Clay Freeman, chief product officer at Vico, the initial focus of the partnership has been integrating Vico's Virtual Construction Suite with Autodesk Revit for Building Information Modeling. "We have a growing number of customers requesting that our virtual construction solutions work in conjunction with an Autodesk Revit model," says Freeman.
"Presently, we are happy to announce that the integrated solution with Revit is demonstrable, and our intent is to support a wider range of capability offered by multiple Autodesk products in the future."
Together the solutions from Vico and Autodesk will enable building owners, general contractors, and construction managers to produce:
Vico has not announced a date for general availability. Freeman adds, "Integrating our virtual construction solutions with Revit is a very high priority, and we will be going to customer beta test soon."
"Importantly, our internal Virtual Construction Services team is already contracting work on projects using Revit models in conjunction with our software, so we are quite confident in the quality of the integrated solution."
Vico will publicly debut the integration of its Virtual Construction solutions and Autodesk Revit at the Autodesk University Conference.
