Building projects are increasingly complex
undertakings. Tougher building codes and performance
requirements, tighter schedules, distributed teams, and
the possibility of new architectural forms, all add up
to a building design and construction process whose
demands exceed the capabilities of 2D CAD and paper
based delivery processes. Additional complexity in the
design phase has created downstream problems in
construction where poor data coordination translates
directly into an average of 20% costs overruns during construction. The result of this trend is that, while over the last 20 years technology applications have resulted in productivity gains in virtually every industry, AEC has actually experienced productivity losses over the same period.
There is growing interest, within the architectural design, engineering, fabrication and construction communities, in the potential for digital technologies to change the nature of professional practice and to address the underlying inefficiencies and conflicts resulting from an outdated process. For 15 years, Frank Gehry's practice has provided an example of this new way of working: communicating project data to the building team in a digitally integrated form, and rethinking the collaborative processes of project teams in light of new design, management, and communication technologies.
Gehry Technologies was formed in 2002 to provide these technologies and methodologies to the building industries. With the introduction of our software, the technology is available for building professionals and project teams to move to digitally enabled building practice.
