Oracle Aconex for Design- Build

Oracle Aconex is ideally suited to the unique requirements of design-build

projects. The highly configurable process management engine can

facilitate any end-to-end process across the entire project lifecycle.

Aconex connects design and delivery teams by eliminating barriers to

collaboration, increasing adoption and data sharing, capturing a complete

project record. With an unalterable audit trail that minimizes disputes and

risk, Aconex keeps projects on track for successful delivery.

The Challenges of Design-Build Projects

Design-build is becoming increasingly popular as a project delivery method,

offering significant time and cost savings compared to traditional project delivery methods. Compared to design-bid-build, design-build projects are constructed 36% faster, delivered 102% faster, with 3.8% less cost growth1. Despite the

advantages, Design Build also creates challenges that can impact successful project delivery:

• How can I ensure seamless collaboration across the design and construction teams?

• How can I manage the unique requirements of design AND construction of the project?

• How can I align design and construction when both are occurring simultaneously?

Oracle Aconex - Open Collaboration and Process Management

The Aconex data ownership model addresses the challenges of design-build projects. Every project organization has their own private and secure workspace, owning and controlling their data and access to that data. Combined with an

unalterable audit trail, this builds trust in the platform, driving adoption, collaboration and data sharing - capturing a complete project record on the one platform.

The highly configurable process management engine can facilitate any end-to- end process across the entire design-build project lifecycle, onsite or in the office, with the ability to match exactly how you run your projects.

A trusted and adopted platform, capturing complete process data across the lifecycle, maximizes data quality, providing the visibility and control to better drive performance and improve processes.

Secure Document Management

Easily manage millions of documents and models without limits on data or

participants, including any size, type, or number of files:

• Strict version control avoids errors by ensuring everyone is working off the latest documents.

• Work packaging makes it easier to track and control processes, from design and construction to sign-off and completion.

• Link engineering and construction documents to the OPC Schedule through Aconex Packages integration; providing greater alignment of the Schedule with actual jobsite work, improving Schedule accuracy.

• Custom workflows automate review and approval cycles, reducing complexity, improving data capture, and increasing control:

o Automate and standardize repetitive functions and regulate the review and movement of documents.

o Aconex automatically sends documents through the workflow according to the set rules and timings.

o Create custom workflow templates and sub-workflows if required.

o Detailed tracking and reporting.

process providing project-wide access and visibility. From designing forms to creating fields, configure Aconex to your processes and capture the right data in the right format:

• Mail routing automates and standardizes business processes, ensuring best practice and minimizing the chance of human error.

• Easily track process communications, keep up to date on progress, avoid bottlenecks, and reduce RFI turnaround times by 50 percent.

• All correspondence is automatically logged and cannot be deleted, providing a complete project record and unalterable audit trail.

Simplified Model Coordination

Connect teams, models, and project data in a secure collaborative environment:

• Seamlessly share, review, and contribute to models without specialized software.

• Provide model access to the entire project team.

• Utilize a single platform to raise, communicate, and manage the coordination process with a dashboard to control and monitor progress

• Easily import and open Revit files directly within Aconex
