Synchro: 4D
From Devwiki
"Synchro Ltd, a UK company, in 2001 began software product development on its construction simulation and task management solution. It offers to users a genuinely different approach to the management of projects by synchronising design, scheduling, supply chain management, risk management and earned value measurement.
Synchro has a track record of developing innovative technology for construction projects throughout the UK and in 2007 began worldwide distribution of its third generation of products.
Today, Synchro has technology relationships in the form of technology development agreements with Primavera, Google, Autodesk, Objectivity, TechSoft3D and Asta. These strategic relationships, especially with Primavera in the US, Australia/Asia Pacific and EMEA, offer our joint customers the right ingredients to leverage existing software investments and extend benefits beyond information silos, which commonly exist between well formed industry processes.
Our aim and our principles are straightforward: deliver software that serves the construction delivery team and survives the dynamics of everyday life in the construction industry. As construction is a series of problems that get solved, our software goes right to the heart of that demand by enabling users to explore options and manage solutions." - Synchro Ltd. website.

[edit] The Project/Product
[edit] Project Background
[edit] Project/Product Description
"Synchro 4D is the first project management and 4D visualisation solution to incorporate the ability to define and represent the physical properties of resources, and communicate these in 3D and then 4D. Finally, the ability to define and manage space as a resource is here! Ideal for fit-out contracts! Synchro 4D Project Mgmt is used by construction companies for interpreting and visualizing the design, planning and management of capital construction projects.
Objectivity/DB will allow Synchro to better manage the scale and diversity of information associated with construction projects and processes, thus reducing cost overruns and delays due to inefficient supply chain management.
In Synchro, 4D planning reaches new standards and represents a new climax in the 4D approach that outmodes traditional methods.
The Synchro 4D solution raises project management performance. It reduces project time and cost by managing risks and improving awareness through better communication. It visualises resources and logistics issues to properly plan demand and utilisation.
The complete functionality is sold as a desktop or a client/server project management solution.
Special Features:
- Gantt, resource and 3D views share common highlighting
- Sequence in Gantt or 3D windows
- Plan top down and bottom up
- Manipulate site logistics in 3D scene
- Earned value and Resource histograms
- Advanced filtering
- Split screens show plan vs actual
- Programme alerts linked to affected participants
