Project Overview
The Concrete Usage Index Projects comprise a series of developments in Singapore aimed at optimizing the use of concrete in construction through precise quantity estimation and sustainable building practices. These projects include a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments such as high-rise condominiums, apartment complexes, commercial buildings, and warehouses. Examples include a 30-storey condominium at Kim Seng Road/Jiak Kim Street, a 24-storey condominium at Mt Sinai Drive, and several mid-rise residential and mixed-use buildings. Each project required accurate calculation of concrete volumes to ensure cost efficiency, material optimization, and compliance with the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Concrete Usage Index standards.
Our Role
Our role in the Concrete Usage Index Projects was to provide BIM model-based quantity extraction services to support material planning and project compliance. This scope included:
- Creating detailed BIM models for each development to calculate accurate concrete quantities
- Extracting and compiling material usage data in line with regulatory requirements
- Supporting project teams with data-driven insights to improve cost control and reduce waste
- Assisting in planning and procurement processes with precise volume estimates
- Ensuring that the projects met sustainability benchmarks and industry standards
Through these services, we helped project stakeholders improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and achieve compliance with national construction guidelines better coordination among trades, and meet the demanding standards of a luxury residential development.
