The VERTIKAAL automated manner of creating a state-of-the-art 5D BIM is a new and absolute departure from AutoDesk. The veritkaal software platform stands alone and is not dependent on other design software. Core to the VERTIKAAL platform is its ability to auto-generate designs. These designs can then be altered at the swipe of a finger (think SimCity) within a gaming environment. The output is 5D BIM data, which can be directly used for cost estimating and scheduling. Within the VERTIKAAL platform, building designs can be replicated in design and form, simply and intuitively and in an automated manner, and be adapted to different sized lots in most any location. VERTIKAAL creates a huge opportunity to rapidly propagate green and energy efficient buildings anywhere in the world, while eliminating laborious and unnecessary work in design and estimating.
