Digital Project

There is growing interest, within the architectural design, engineering, fabrication and construction communities, in the potential for digital technologies to change the nature of professional practice and to address the underlying inefficiencies and conflicts resulting from an outdated process. For 15 years, Frank Gehry's practice has provided an example of this new way of working: communicating project data to the building team in a digitally integrated form, and rethinking the collaborative processes of project teams in light of new design, management, and communication technologies.

Gehry Technologies was formed in 2002 to provide these technologies and methodologies to the building industries. With the introduction of our software, the technology is available for building professionals and project teams to move to digitally enabled building practice.

Digital Project™ is a revolutionary new software platform for building teams to realize ambitious building projects working through digital technologies. Digital Project products support the lifecycle of construction projects in a common digital environment, from design and engineering to fabrication, construction project management and on site construction activities. Built on high performance technologies that have revolutionized the aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries, Digital Project bring the best available digital technologies to distributed project teams collaborating on tough building design and construction projects.

Digital Project™ supports the development of a comprehensive project database in a contractually controlled fashion, allows teams to realize the full benefits of building information modeling including:

  • Greatly facilitated visibility by project leadership into the project status, information developed by the extended building team,
  • Cost estimating with accuracy and confidence,
  • Integration of financial and other project management data with project geometry,
  • Dramatic reduction of errors, omissions, and rework in the field,
  • Up to date coordination and delivery of project data team-wide,
  • Integration between AE documentation and fabrication or construction activities,
  • Reduced "transaction costs" (e.g. paper printing and re-work).
