Complete your building projects faster, at less cost, with higher quality, ensuring a smooth and responsible experience for everyone involved – from idea to handover and beyond.

End-to-end value

Get competitive advantage with complete building data management solutions from ARKANCE: powerful yet simple systems with support, services, and expert advice. Tailored to your situation.

Advanced technologies

We’re ahead of the industry with our methods and tools for precision exchange and classification of information. With that, you can then fully benefit from the latest building technologies, which all require the right data to deliver on their promises of more efficiency, ecology, and human well-being.

Real-needs focus

It pays to take a lean, practical approach to building information. Our style is clear purpose and extreme efficiency, eliminating whatever’s useless to a project’s people, systems, and machines. We offer smart content management, an innovative classification engine, and targeted data packaging.

Collaborative power

Building projects today require many people to communicate effectively. People in different places with different needs and systems: architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and the ultimate users of an edifice. A unified platform, common data environment and harmonized ‘language’ greatly help.

Quality assurance

True BIM technology is built into Be.Smart software for easy review, modification, and control of project data. You easily see if needed parameters are missing. Drawings and take-offs update automatically as a model evolves. That keeps data and documentation accurate and up to date.

Building lifecycle

For each core lifecycle process in building project – planning (design), execution (fabrication, logistics, on-site construction and assembly) and operation (facility management, maintenance, eventual demolition) – good data management offers specific benefits for all the diverse stakeholders.

Planning & design

Getting digital construction projects right from the design stage maximizes efficiency and potential savings. Good data management ensures actors have information that is complete, accurate and timely so that they can make sound design decisions. For functionality. For life-time energy efficiency and sustainability. For clash detection and resolution. Data sharing and visualizations help stakeholders spot errors and reconsider poor design choices early. Thus, quality information gets passed on for use in later project stages.

Fabrication

BIM has enabled a surge in modular and prefabricated construction, where building modules and components are fully or partially manufactured off-site. A controlled factory environment facilitates efficiency gains, better quality control, and reduced energy use and waste. Be.Smart CNC Exporters automatically assemble framing members as modelled in Revit and send the data to CNC machines and CAD/CAM production lines for flexible manufacturing.

Logistics

BIM enables better sequencing of building processes. It also provides more accurate take-offs to ensure delivery of the right materials at the right time. This eliminates unnecessary transport and storage (or waste) of materials and delays that extend work on site. Panel Packer is an ARKANCE Be.Smart toolset for sorting, packing and loading prefabricated building components. Accurate to 1 mm.

Builders’ work

Good management of building information enables all those involved in the actual building work to confidently do their job well. Solutions also provide the data needed for other emerging building technologies with potential to further improve efficiency and reduce costs and waste: AR/VR applications, robotization of construction tasks and 3D printing, IoT uses and more.

Operation & beyond

High-quality physical assets are made possible by precision design and execution. Plus, there are digital assets to hand over to owners: as-built models with the information to drive effective facility management and maintenance for many years. And when, in the far future, the building is decommissioned, design optimization early in the project will maximize reusability and recyclability.

High performance

Functionality and aesthetics, durability and longevity, energy efficiency and general sustainability.

Emerging tech

Smart facility management systems and future AI systems can tap into the required building data.

Minimized environmental impact

Over a building's operating lifetime and through eventual demolition.

Stakeholders that benefit

Owners, Project Sponsors, Occupants, Facility Managers, Maintenance Teams, Society and the Planet all gain from Be.Smart solutions during operations and beyond.
