April 28, 2008		Hardin Construction Company's Success Story - Preconstruction at its Finest Leading general contractor and construction manager Hardin Construction Company has reached a state of preconstruction at its finest by using cutting-edge Innovaya BIM construction technologies. The Company recently received a structural model of an 80-story concrete building and completed the entire structural estimate in less than 3 hours. "A manual takeoff of this project was completed in 4.5 days". Jason Waddell, Estimator with Hardin says, "It's remarkable how much Innovaya has sped up the estimating process for us, and its integration with Timberline Estimating is incomparable". Hardin Construction also uses Innovaya Visual 4D Simulation to effectively validate and optimize construction schedules with 4D technologies. Read full article>>

March 30, 2008		Innovaya Announces 5D BIM Estimating Solutions for MC2 Innovaya is pleased to announce new 5D BIM Estimating software supporting MC2 ICE. With Visual Estimating for MC2, Innovaya now supports BIM-based quantity takeoff and 5D-estimating for both MC2 and Sage Timberline customers, covering a significant portion of the market for major contractors, construction managers, and design-build firms in the United States.
