Our Software recommendations

Why do we recommend OpenBuildings Designer (OBD) alongside OpenPlant Modeller (OPM) to our engineering consultants in the resource sector?

The recommendation of OpenBuildings Designer (OBD) and OpenPlant Modeller (OPM) for engineering consultants in the resource sector, particularly in Perth, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a tailored approach that considers the unique needs of the market. Here’s a breakdown of the critical reasons for this recommendation:

  • Seamless Model Transfer: OBD facilitates smooth model transfer to shop detailers, streamlining the process and saving significant time in remodelling. This feature is crucial for optimising efficiency in project workflows, especially in a sector like resources where time is often of the essence.
  • Optimised Resource Allocation: The recommendation of specific software for each discipline, such as OBD for structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines and OpenPlant for piping, ensures that each team benefits from the unique features tailored to their requirements. This specialisation enhances productivity and precision in each aspect of the project.
  • Market Adaptation: The recommendation considers the dynamics of the Perth market, where consultants often need to balance their workforce between staff and contractors to manage workload fluctuations effectively. By standardising OBD and OPM, companies can easily find experienced designers proficient with these tools, enabling them to integrate seamlessly into ongoing projects without extensive training or onboarding time.
  • Productivity from Day One: By advocating for the exclusive use of OBD and OPM, we’re setting the stage for a highly efficient project. Designers can hit the ground running from the first day, reducing the ramp-up time typically associated with new software adoption and enabling teams to maintain momentum without disruptions.
