Detailed Application ExampleBuilding Design System


Wood Building Manufacturer

● Manufacturer of modular wooden buildings for agriculture, equestrian and storage

● $50 Million in annual sales

● 200 dealers (contractors) for US distribution

● Dealers used Lester Configuration and Price Guide of pre-configured products


ETO Sales Process

Dealer meets with Owner/Buyer

Buyer defines building requirements

Dealer provides a proposal to the Buyer● 30% of the time, dealer selects pre-configured building from the

Configuration & Price Guide (<5 days)● 60% of the time, dealer interpolates between pre-configured buildings in

the Configuration & Price Guide (2 to 15 days)● 10% of the time, dealer submits a request to Lester for a custom

configuration (10 to 40 days)

Buyer contracts with Dealer

Dealer submits order to Lester

Lester engineers and fulfills order


Challenges

Margin erosion on 60% of business● Cost basis for configuration is too low● Additional custom engineering cost is not included

Lost business due to:● long custom engineering cycle times● cost of custom engineering increases price● the Buyer cannot visualize their building prior to order

High cost to develop and maintain a catalog of pre-configured options


Solution

Building Design System based on Intent

Used by Dealers to configure, cost & price complete buildings based on their rules (e.g. structural engineering, building codes)

Used by their engineers to process orders for manufacturing

Building Design System provides Dealers:● Custom proposals based on specific buyer input (e.g. drawings,

renderings, quotes)● Order submission packages● Order processing information (e.g. material takeoff)

Architectural Concrete Application Overview

Created by Factotech


● Walls are the basic drawing object. Each wall can be split in a number of production units

● Functions for creating, deleting, modifying, copying, moving, rotating etc. walls and units.

● Each wall/unit can contain electric parts, doors/windows, reinforcements, connection parts, inserts of different kinds etc.


● One click creates all x,y dimensions on a unit or complete project


● Forms for adding, editing, deleting, copying etc. internals like reinforcements, electric parts, windows/doors etc.


● The cylinders in each unit connection point contains knowledge & rules to control and show only valid connection methods, including parameters, bolts, reinforcements, etc.


● Views for studying specific walls, units or details available by clicking in graphics or in tree structure


Validation of each unit on fx

● Collisions● Missing specifications● Mismatching

specifications● Easy to add validation

items


● One click creation of detailed production & assembly drawings

● Batch Print or PDF file creation of complete project

● One click creation of detailed views



● Subprojects (floors) can be copied and edited individually
