COVENTRY, England, June 19, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Synchro construction management software has been selected by Revel Entertainment for a resort development project on 20 acres of beachfront land along the famous Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ.
The $2 billion site, being developed by Revel Entertainment Group, LLC, is one of the largest, most uniform and contiguous properties in Atlantic City. The planned facility will include two hotel towers with approximately 1,900 rooms each, 150,000 square feet of casino space and 500,000 square feet of dining, retail and entertainment space. Revel Entertainment has named Tishman Construction Corporation of New Jersey as the Construction Manager for the project.
Synchro, Ltd., headquartered in the UK, has developed construction management software that provides the graphic simulation needed to deliver and improve construction solutions. Tony Craig, Vice President of Construction Development for Revel Entertainment, said, "Bringing Synchro software onto the project will help manage construction delivery and help connect design with scheduling."
Christopher Seliga, First Vice President of Tishman Construction in charge of scheduling eastern U.S. operations, said, "Synchro has had a definite impact on the project team. While it's possible to create an image of a building in your mind, to see it take shape on screen, in sequence, creates a much more effective shared understanding with the entire delivery team. Synchro also provides a unique 'usability' factor."
With Synchro, an entire construction delivery team -- owners, engineers, architects, operators, contractors, sub-contractors, manufacturers and materials suppliers -- can share a single view of the entire project in real time. Synchro offers an enhanced visual simulation approach to the management of construction projects by synchronizing design, planning and scheduling, supply chain management, risk management and earned value measurement. Synchro has achieved an impressive track record for developing innovation technology for large, complex, or repeatable construction projects seeking continuous performance improvements throughout the UK, and in 2007 began worldwide distribution of its third generation of products.
As Construction Manager, Tishman is committed to working with Revel and applying Synchro's real-time based 4D model for idea generation and problem solving within the project team consisting of subcontractors, architects, vendors and suppliers to deliver this landmark hotel/casino complex.
