Revolutionizing Construction: The Impact of Modern Methods of Construction
In the ever-evolving realm of construction, operational excellence stands as the cornerstone for success. Today, the need to ensure constructions operate efficiently, sustainably, and economically is not just a preference but a requisite. Embracing modern methods of construction (MMC) and innovative practices has emerged as a pivotal strategy for construction companies looking to elevate their projects in terms of speed, quality, and environmental performance.
Pioneering Operational Excellence
Timely completion of projects is a critical factor in achieving operational excellence within the construction industry. By prioritizing efficient project management, meticulous planning, and leveraging cutting-edge technology, construction firms can streamline processes and minimize project delays. The advent of digitalization has brought about a paradigm shift in project management, enabling seamless collaboration, enhanced communication, and improved data transparency among all project stakeholders.
Embracing Cutting-Edge Tools
R-Drive, a state-of-the-art digital tool, exemplifies efficient project management by providing real-time access to project information such as drawings, plans, and schedules. This fosters informed decision-making, minimizes errors, and enhances communication across all project facets. Partnering with tools like R-Drive has allowed ISG to maintain a centralized Quality Management System, ensuring high-quality project delivery from inception to completion.OpenSpace, another innovative technology, revolutionizes project monitoring by capturing 360-degree imagery of construction sites. This facilitates remote progress tracking, issue identification, and informed decision-making, thereby optimizing efficiency and improving on-site safety standards.Our team have used both technologies across many projects, including MUFG project, delivered to one of the world’s largest financial institutions, spanning over a space of 110,000 sqft. within a short construction period of 26 weeks.
Embracing Technological Advancements
The adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and REVIT has significantly enhanced project coordination, reduced errors, and improved overall efficiency in construction processes. ISG's commitment to leveraging BIM technology has resulted in seamless integration within its projects, driving efficiency and precision.
BIM was an essential tool used during the tender stage for the Pullman Singapore Orchard. During the project this software was also used to construct a new room at the existing space at Level 4. For space planning, the team used a 3D modelling to design the raised floor, to integrate all the M&E services below the raised floor and above the false ceiling to comply with the interior design build authority requirements.
BIM continues to support our team with materials approval and coordinating on the work progress across our ongoing projects.
Shaping a Sustainable Future
By prioritizing productivity, innovation, and adherence to best practices, construction companies can exceed expectations and transform the industry landscape. ISG, as a staunch advocate for innovation and excellence, is spearheading this transformation by embracing modern methods of construction and implementing smart methodologies. Through fostering collaboration and innovation, ISG aims to revolutionize conventional construction practices, making structures more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective.
“Through collaborative partnerships and a commitment to embracing MMC practices, ISG is leading the way in pioneering groundbreaking construction techniques that prioritize efficiency, productivity, and resource conservation. Together with external stakeholders, ISG is paving the path for an innovative and sustainable construction ecosystem, redefining the standards of excellence in the industry.
