GIS + BIM + Schedule + Resources

Beyond traditional construction planning.

ToBe Builder transcends traditional construction planning by offering a virtual construction environment where projects can be simulated with unparalleled precision and realism. This creates delivery certainty by allowing project teams to visualise and test construction methodologies before ground is broken.

The power of ToBe Builder lies in its ability to create a comprehensive digital asset that combines the context of the site (GIS), the detailed design (BIM), the project schedule (Time), and the specific construction techniques (methodology) to be employed - all in one application.

Key Features

Every tool you need to plan, visualise and communicate complex construction sequences.

Single 4D View Window

A unified view of your GIS, BIM, resources, work zones and paths - all in one scene.

3D Work Zones

Create 3D work zones at any point on the GIS or within the BIM structure to model construction activity.

Work Paths

Visualise and control resources along paths through your site with animated keyframe sequences.

Selection Sets & View States

Save and restore known scene configurations instantly - useful for review sessions and handovers.

Measure Tool

Measure any GIS or BIM object within the scene with precision - distances, areas and volumes.

Drive slew, boom and hook with the same sliders Builder uses on this crane. It rests on a ground plane so you can judge reach against the pad, not empty space.

Case Study

Westgate Tunnel Project

ToBe Builder verified the construction program, saved real costs by helping subcontractors understand erection sequences, and optimised pre-assembly workflows. The ability to load an accelerated program for immediate re-validation proved transformative.

“Workpack videos can be produced showing the exact location of EWPs and personnel. This software is a key differentiator for CPB.”
