Company Profile

Headquartered in Birmingham, England, Synchro Ltd began software development in 2001 on its supply chain management, construction simulation and task management solution, and has been recognized for its achievements in producing award-winning, transformational technology. Today Synchro's mission remains focused on delivering software that serves the project delivery team and survives the constant dynamics of project delivery in the construction industry.

With a proven history of delivering continuous product improvements in construction project management software, Synchro offers users a genuinely different approach to project management by synchronising design, scheduling, supply chain management, risk management and earned value measurement.

Synchro also has a proven track record of delivering innovative services based on its own technology for construction project clients throughout the UK and in 2007 a new direction began with worldwide distribution of its third generation software product line focused on creating a sustainable end user community.

Since October 2007 we have produced an average of four major software releases per year in support of our users' feedback and pursuit of an ever expanding customer base. In 2010 we begin shipping our fourth generation product focused on expanded systems interoperability, advanced data management, reporting, and the seamless support for the large super-sized 3D/4D/5D construction models.

"It's important to remember that our journey at Synchro started with an unwavering commitment to enable key business principles and management techniques for project delivery: these include project delivery optimisation, the elimination of waste, delivery synchronisation and information transparency," said Synchro CEO, Tom Dengenis.

In the late 1990s Sir John Egan in his work, entitled Rethinking Construction, argued that these principles and management techniques could successfully cross-over from other industries to serve the project delivery demands of the construction industry.

Synchro product line and offering is strengthened by key technology development agreements with Oracle Primavera, Google SketchUp, Bentley Systems, Autodesk, Objectivity, Asta, Design Data, and TechSoft3D. These strategic relationships offer customers the right ingredients to leverage existing legacy software investments and extend benefits beyond information silos, which commonly exist between well-formed, industry processes.

Synchro's product line has a deep, steadfast commitment to enable an integrated project process around the key elements of construction development, including project delivery strategy and tactical planning, supply chain collaboration and production tracking, and how the pre-engineered manufactured components enter and improve the process. In keeping with Sir John's vision with Synchro as part of your delivery process: "Sustained improvements in project using these techniques for eliminating waste and increasing value for the customer are more possible now than ever before." There is one undisputed truth when working with Synchro; "You will make more money on your projects using Synchro. " said Dengenis, "We also know that when the entire project uses Synchro the cost of delivery is more predictable. Problems are discovered virtually and can be eliminated before they enter field conditions. That means your project runs smoother and more efficient for everyone engaged."

Our aim is clear: to deliver software toserve the construction delivery team and survives the everyday dynamics and demands of the construction industry. We see construction as a series of problems to be solved. Our software goes right to the heart of that challenge -- enabling users to explore options, manage solutions and optimise results.

It takes just a few minutes to understand how Synchro, a Stand-alone Planning and Scheduling system delivers unparalleled value. Our Critical Path Analysis built on our proprietary scheduling engine supports traditional planning and scheduling methods using the logical network diagram to drive the 4D/5D process. We alone support complete roundtrip data synchronisation with the top CPM scheduling platforms, used in construction today, designed to support our users existing investments and established workflows using Oracle Primavera, Microsoft Office Project and AstaPowerProject.

Our advanced 3D/4D/5D viewing includes traditional reporting, custom 3D/4D/5D animation and advanced AVI production. Our federated Object Oriented Database Systems Architecture focused on data integration, reusable project and component libraries, and support for the ever increasing 3D model size to xD models envisioned by the industry. We uniquely enable IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) Synchronisation (including 3D Import, Export, SynchroniseTo, SynchroniseFrom) to facilitate IFC based work flows for both upstream and downstream processes. If that isn't enough to support the delivery process, Synchro is also leading the industry with 4D Spatial Coordination for static and dynamic project orchestration, analysis and resolution management.

Synchro Ltd brings award-winning, 4D BIM software to construction companies globally for building, civil infrastructure, roads, bridges, healthcare, high-rise towers, industrial process, oil and gas, alternative energy and mining. 28 of the Top 50 Contractors in the USA and over 200 worldwide use Synchro.
