On a capex project, it is bought as a project deliverable.
A new line or building in its front end already has a budget line for existing conditions, survey and site data. SyntaGraph is bought from that line.
The project manager buys the evidenced site model, the factory model and the discrepancy register as a deliverable on a portable stage, with no licence and no seat to pay for. The EPCM bids against it. With your permission, the equipment supplier lays out against it. Once we are an onboarded vendor on the project, the engineering studies follow as change orders instead of new tenders.
You can start with the model alone. We prefer a study beside it, because a verdict is what earns the reuse rights and closes the record. It is your choice which deliverable comes first.
What the package contains
- The site model
- Observed and documented states of the site on an exportable OpenUSD stage, reconciled and graded.
- The discrepancy register
- Where the drawings, the systems and the plant disagree, with the evidence for each line.
- Boundary conditions
- Loads, flows, room classes and utility headroom with their sources, ready for the EPCM's designers to compute against.
- The evidence index
- Every source, its date, its confidence and what it supports.
