Hexagon launches HxGN SMART Build, a pioneering enterprise construction management software solution

Hexagon AB, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive
productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise
applications, today announced the launch of HxGN SMART Build, an enterprise
construction management software solution designed to alleviate cost overruns
and delays. SMART Build will be officially unveiled today at Hexagon’s
Construction Innovation Forum (http://hxgnlive.com/cif), part of HxGN LIVE
2016 (http://hxgnlive.com/anaheim), an annual, international conference hosted
in Anaheim, California, USA this year.

Benefitting from Hexagon’s decades of leadership and expertise on some of the
world’s most complex construction projects, SMART Build facilitates the
convergence of construction planning and execution through real-time clarity,
accountability and management of the project lifecycle. This empowers
construction executives with top-down visibility of progress and deviations and
field crews with automation and real-time access to the relevant and up-to-date
information they need every day on the job site.

Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén (https://twitter.com/OlaRollen) said,
“General contractors face an almost impossible challenge with the number of
variables they deal with every day. SMART Build will deliver cost savings,
improved workflows, increased productivity and countless other benefits to an
industry seeking a better way to deliver projects on time and on budget. Hexagon
has long been a leader in information technology software solutions for large
scale construction in the process, power and marine industries and HxGN SMART
Build is our next-generation offering, providing the AEC/BIM industries with a
fully integrated solution that did not previously exist.”

Leveraging industry leading technologies from Hexagon’s Process, Power & Marine
and Geosystems businesses, SMART Build is a fully integrated construction
solution that brings all relevant project information together on a single
platform – from design down to the smallest tasks – in a secure, cloud-based
environment. Participants at all levels can access data and information any
time, from anywhere – from 2D drawings and 3D models, to work packages, detailed
instructions, point clouds, and as-built measurements, to project progress and
deviations from plan. This real-time visibility and transparency clarifies,
connects and simplifies the construction management process. Visit
