• • EdiLus for structural design and analysis for reinforced concrete, steel masonry and timber structures;
  • CerTus for health & safety;
  • PriMus for integrated quantity takeoff tools;
  • TerMus for energy performance analysis;
  • Impiantus for electrical plant systems design and sizing

…and even a VR cloud based viewing platform enabling architects and engineers to show their clients a realistic simulation of the project and change materials or re-arrange furniture on the fly with the client at the centre of the project and therefore part of the design process. 

Virtual reality in AEC

It’s not enough to see architecture. You need to experience it too. Edificius allows you to Publish and Share 3D BIM projects on the web using the Edificius-VR platform allowing clients and colleagues to view and consult construction documentation relating to BIM projects comfortably from their tablet or mobile phone.

VR enabling technology has the promise to provide the AEC professional with the ability to experience project designs before they are built, as a digital prototype of the final product therefore becoming an important prerequisite for design proposal acceptance. A user-friendly interface will allow architects and engineers to create and interact with their digital designs more intuitively in an immersive design environment.

In conclusion, Edificius truly contributes to making the #BIM philosophy a global success and to promoting the digital construction industry as a central role player in the development of key concepts and policies, such as efficient infrastructures, cities and smart homes, improving technical professionalism, customer satisfaction, and the general image of the industry by cutting unnecessary costs and drastically increasing productivity in an ever more competitive world.
