Sobha Developers, a real estate major, has chosen Tekla Structures as its Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. The Group will introduce Tekla BIM technology in all its business processes to create quicker, innovative and profitable projects with lesser environmental impact.
This collaboration with Sobha is a valued order for Tekla India, as it expands Tekla's presence in the construction industry market as BIM software provider. The pact enables Sobha to expand its adoption of building information modeling (BIM) - a process based on intelligent models that offers architects, engineers and builders a more predictable budgeting and greater flexibility in design through a fully-integrated constructability workflow.
“We chose Tekla BIM software after an extensive evaluation because, the extent of its solutions and services will give our architects, engineers and visualization specialists all over the world the accuracy, efficiency, flexibility and collaboration required for developing sustainable designs. It also improves the overall project quality with true visualization and real-time information at all project stages but without the waste and inefficiency associated with old techniques,” says Mr. Rajesh Shirakol, Senior Vice President, Design.
“The use of Tekla BIM software will decrease the project run-through time, increase construction co-ordination and provide better design management. BIM is the future for our industry, and having access to the expertise and guidance of Tekla’s service team enables us to stay ahead of the curve and deliver the innovation our customers demand and deserve,” says Mr. Shirakol.
“We at Tekla are excited to be associated with Sobha Developers for selecting Tekla BIM software. Tekla India is working very closely with Sobha Developers to see a smooth transition of technology during the implementation phase. We will further continue to provide the required technical support through our service team in India,” says Mr. Nirmalya Chatterjee, COO, Tekla India Pvt. Ltd.
Sobha Developers is one of the largest and only backward integrated real estate players in the country. The backward integration model is one of the key competitive strengths of Sobha. Backward Integration literally means that the company has all the competencies and in-house resources to deliver a project from conceptualization to completion. This enables the firm to create and manage its building and infrastructure projects quicker, more economically, and with less environmental impact.
