  • Cost & time management

  • Virtual Design & Construction

  • Digital delivery

SERVICE OVERVIEW

A connected approach to construction planning, cost and project control.

Desapex brings construction management, 4D BIM scheduling, 5D cost management, Virtual Design & Construction and digital project controls into one coordinated offering. We connect the information behind your programme so your team can plan the sequence, understand the commercial impact of change and monitor progress with greater clarity.

Whether you need one specialist service or a joined-up project control workflow, we tailor the deliverables to your project phase and available information.

OUR CAPABILITIES

One integrated hub.
Six specialist capabilities.

One integrated hub. Six specialist capabilities.

Choose targeted support or connect services into one digital planning and project-control workflow. Each service is scoped to your project needs.

PROJECT BENEFITS

Better visibility over what matters on site.

One integrated hub. Six specialist capabilities.

Connected models, construction programmes and cost information help teams see dependencies, review changes and act on reliable project information.

01

Plan with confidence

Explore construction sequences, site logistics, installation dependencies and alternative work packages before site execution.

02

Connect cost with design

Use model-based quantities and structured cost information to support estimating, budget reviews and design-change assessments.

03

Identify deviations earlier

Compare baseline milestones with verified progress to identify programme slippage and focus corrective discussions.

04

Coordinate across disciplines

Give developers, planners, designers, cost teams and contractors a shared visual basis for reviews and decisions.

HOW WE WORK

From project information to decisions teams can act on

From project information to decisions teams can act on

Start with your project requirements and existing systems. Build only the model and reporting detail that adds value.

Start with your project requirements and existing systems. Build only the model and reporting detail that adds value.

01

Assess project needs

Review schedules, design models, project goals and the reporting decisions that matter.

02

Prepare BIM information

Check coordination and align model elements with work breakdown structures.

03

Link time and sequence

Connect programme activities to model objects and simulate construction phases.

04

Analyze constructability

Review logistics, work interfaces, bottlenecks and alternative sequences.

05

Connect cost information

Map quantities, cost codes and estimates where 5D scope is included.

06

Track and report

Compare planned and actual status with verified updates and decision-ready reports.

CONNECTED DELIVERY

From Digital Models to Project Control

Our process links the digital model to the construction programme, model quantities, commercial information and reporting workflows. The goal is a decision-support system grounded in the realities of how projects are delivered.

FEATURED PROJECT CASE STUDY

Building a digital-first framework with ISO 19650, 4D/5D BIM and reality capture

A large commercial building project needed more consistent information management and coordinated delivery. Desapex established structured documentation and a Common Data Environment, linked 3D models with schedule and cost, and used reality capture for progress verification.

CLIENT SEGMENTS

Built for complex projects across industries

We adapt planning methods to the constraints, interfaces and delivery priorities of each asset type.

WHY CHOOSE DESAPEX

Digital delivery built around construction decisions.

We combine digital engineering with practical construction planning—not just model animations. The work is scoped around your project controls, stakeholders and information requirements.

group of people discussing

Engineering and project planning together

BIM coordination, sequencing, constructability and reporting brought into the same workflow.

ISO 19650-aligned information management

Structured model and document workflows that support traceable changes and consistent collaboration.

Global project delivery, Stockholm presence

International delivery capabilities backed by Desapex’s European headquarters in Sweden.

Practical, reviewable deliverables

Time-linked models, planning reviews and reporting outputs that project teams can use during construction.

FROM VISUALIZATION TO ACTION

See how a model becomes a planning tool

The planning model becomes more valuable when it is connected to schedule logic, site logistics and actual progress. Desapex’s 4D material illustrates a model linked to programme activities and reviewed as construction evolves.

FAQ

Questions project teams ask

What is the difference between 4D and 5D BIM?

4D BIM links a 3D model to schedule information to visualize construction over time. 5D BIM adds quantities and cost information to support estimating, budgeting and cost-impact analysis.

When should 4D BIM planning start?

Is an LOD 400 model mandatory?

Can you integrate existing Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project schedules?

Can 4D BIM monitor actual site progress?

What do you need to begin?
