Expands construction program management software with BIM technology

PLANTATION, FL, Jul 23, 2015 --( BUSINESS WIRE)-- e-Builder, the pioneer in fully integrated, cloud-based construction program management software, announced today that it acquired the assets of Scenario Virtual Project Delivery (VPD), a leader in collaborative Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for construction. This transaction extends e-Builder Enterprise, the company’s award winning project management information system by tightly integrating it with BIM.

A leading startup established in 2010, Scenario VPD created an innovative SaaS-based BIM integration platform for design, construction and operation of complex projects and structures. This award winning platform was deployed on various high-tech manufacturing, educational, healthcare, aviation and theme park projects including one of the top five largest projects in the world with an aggregate project value of over $8 billion. With roots in the turnkey construction and fabrication industry, Scenario VPD experienced firsthand the value of digital modeling and collaboration and the use of this technology to improve project outcomes. This experience combined with the significant investment in research and development in the last six years resulted in a truly unique and innovative collaborative BIM platform for construction management.

“BIM adoption rates are on the rise as facility owners seek new strategies to improve project outcomes and reduce the risk on their projects,” said Ron Antevy, President & CEO, e-Builder. “This acquisition strengthens our commitment to provide the most complete system to manage capital projects specifically for the facility owner. While many project management and BIM technologies are available for contractors and designers, our combined technology will provide the only integrated system that is designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the building owner throughout the process from planning to construction.”

"Scenario is extremely pleased that e-Builder as an industry leader will continue the heritage of innovation and extend the capabilities of the platform for better owner and project outcomes," stated Roland Soohoo, President and Board Member of Scenario.

Phil Cherne, Chairman of Scenario added, "We look forward to a bright future for the AEC industry as BIM will only grow in popularity as a critical Construction Management tool."
