Innovative IT platform VOX EXPRESS | EVRAZ STEEL BOX

BOX EXPRESS is an innovative digital platform for building construction support at all stages

Relevance

Today, when building a building for small or medium-sized businesses, an entrepreneur is forced to take on all the risks associated with construction and solve problems on their own. The construction of buildings up to 1,500 square meters is not interesting for large professional general contractors, and small companies have insufficient qualifications. All this hinders the development of SMEs and limits investments in fixed assets.

The financial cost of designing a building up to 1,500 square meters is comparable to the cost of designing a large facility. Obviously, in such a situation, entrepreneurs and design organizations are looking for savings, which, in turn, leads to a decrease in the quality of design work and design errors.

In addition, due to the lack of their own qualifications, the entrepreneur is not able to objectively evaluate their investments in advance.

At the same time, there are a number of related risks: the possibility of manufacturing defects due to poorly executed drawings of metal structures (detailed metal structures), errors in the installation of structures due to the poor quality of drawings of metal structures (metal structures) or the fault of low-skilled installers.

This issue is relevant for most of the industrial and commercial building construction market. Annually in In the Russian Federation, more than 8000 buildings with an area of up to 1,500 square meters are under construction, which actually accounts for 70% of all buildings put into operation (according to Rosstat).

Value

BOX EXPRESS solves the problems that an entrepreneur who is building a small-format building is facing today. Thanks to the integrated approach, the user is able to evaluate the economic part of the project from the very beginning and plan their own investments.

The configurator will help you determine the type of the future building, and the calculator will help you calculate its cost.

Design automation reduces time and, as a result, cost. In addition, it helps to avoid mistakes. High—quality KMD drawings will help to avoid mistakes in the production of metal structures, KM drawings - during the installation of the building.

The partner portal, which is part of the platform, will provide a service for installers.

Innovativeness

The innovation of the BOX EXPRESS platform lies in the integration of an automated design service with an end-to-end project management system.

The core of BOX EXPRESS is an automated design service. Using our developments, the formation of drawings KM instead of the standard 3 weeks takes 7 minutes. A similar multiple reduction in time is obtained when developing drawings of KMD and OK (enclosing structures).

The end-to-end project management system forms a data management platform from the idea visualized in the configurator to the executive documentation for the completion of the building installation.

BOX EXPRESS includes a complete set of tools for the successful implementation of the project:

· An online calculator and an automatic delivery contract generation system are responsible for the transparency and predictability of the financial part of the project.

· The building configurator provides almost unlimited scope for project customization — the building can be implemented for any building site.

· Through the partner portal, you can select professional installers who are trained to work with BOX EXPRESS and have full access to the system.

All of the above is integrated into a single system and each stage is monitored in real time in the user's personal account.

The BOX EXPRESS platform, built on these principles, made it possible to solve the main problem — to enable fast, high-quality and budget construction of small industrial and commercial buildings for SMEs without involving expensive specialists in design and construction.

Platform development

The system is currently being tested through the construction partners EVRAZ STEEL BOX.

EVRAZ STEEL BOX plans to introduce Digital VET into our platform for automatic execution of executive documentation. When using BOX EXPRESS, all our client will need to do is log into his personal account and enter the estimated installation time and a list of responsible persons into the system. All other documents, including work logs, entrance control logs, certificates for materials used, acts of hidden work, and others, will be generated automatically.

The roadmap of the project includes the formation of a complete set of documentation for obtaining a construction permit, reducing pre-design and design work from months to a few hours.

It should be especially noted that BOX EXPRESS is implemented as a seamless system. All data is automatically transferred within the platform from component to component, no additional actions are required from the client.
