Aconex Limited, provider of a leading cloud and mobile collaboration platform for the global construction industry, confirmed this week that Bloomberry Resorts Corporation is using Aconex solutions to support the design and construction of the Solaire Resort and Casino in Manila.
So why is this such big news? Indeed, it’s an industry first.
Opened in 2013, with a second phase completed in 2014, the owner-managed design-build project continues to run on the Aconex platform for Solaire’s ongoing alterations and additions.
The $1.2-billion complex was the first integrated destination resort in Manila’s Entertainment City. It includes a five-star, 800-guest room hotel, massive casino, 15 restaurants, a luxury shopping center, and a state-of-the-art theater.
“Projects are getting faster and faster, and time is money,” said Paul Soanes, a project director for Solaire. “Aconex has allowed us, as a whole, to move the project much more quickly. For example, there is no need to print and ship drawings and other information, which can easily add weeks or months to a project. On such a large-scale and complex development, with team members located in different geographies, Aconex has been essential in helping us speed up processes and information flow across the entire project.”
“Aconex makes it easy to share information and find information in minutes, regardless of file size,” adds Soanes in today’s announcement. “Fast access, visibility and control are critical in keeping global project teams across multiple organizations on the same page throughout the project. Successful delivery depends on effective collaboration.”
