What it can do

Turn the programme
into a place.

A construction programme tells you when. A project model shows you where. BuildFrame brings them together, so your team can explore how the work takes shape over time.

Explore BuildFrame in your browser, then work with us to configure the desktop application around your project, data and review process.

Explore the build at any moment.

Play the sequence, pause at a key stage or move straight to an activity. See how the structure develops alongside the construction programme.

Go where the discussion takes you.

Move freely around the site, switch to a ground-level view or look down on the whole project. Review the work from the viewpoint that answers the question.

Show the work around the structure.

Include site establishment, excavation, temporary works and external works in the sequence. Show when supporting elements arrive and when they leave the site.

Working with sequence data

Your activities.
Connected to the site.

The useful connection is between an activity, its dates and the model elements it represents. We work with you to define those relationships and turn the data into an explorable construction sequence.

  1. Bring the model and programme.

    Bring your project model alongside programme data from Primavera or sequence data from Navisworks. Activity IDs, names, start and finish dates provide the basis for the sequence.

    Geometry + activity data
  2. Connect tasks to the work.

    Map activities to model elements or groups, such as a floor, zone or work package. Define what appears, changes or is removed as each activity progresses.

    Activity → model elements
  3. Review it in context.

    Move through dates with the team and inspect what is happening on site. Use the sequence to discuss handovers, work areas, access and temporary works.

    Programme → spatial review
  4. Keep the sequence useful.

    Agree how programme revisions and model changes will be brought into your bespoke application. Retaining consistent activity and element IDs helps preserve those connections.

Formats & project inputs

Start with the data
you already have.

Work with models from a broad range of Autodesk applications and sequence data from Primavera and Navisworks. We connect those inputs through a workflow configured for your project.

3D models

Autodesk applications

Bring geometry from your Autodesk modelling workflow into an interactive construction environment. We confirm the model preparation and export path against your source application and project structure.

Programme data

Primavera

Use programme activities and dates to drive the construction sequence. Connect the planner’s activity structure to the elements and work packages being built.

Sequence data

Navisworks

Use existing construction sequence data as an input to the desktop application. We work through the activity and model relationships to bring that sequence into the interactive review.

We confirm the export format, required fields and update process with a sample of your project data.

Why use it

A clearer view.
A better conversation.

Use the sequence in tender presentations, methodology reviews, planning workshops and stakeholder briefings.

Make the methodology easier to explain.

Give clients and delivery teams a visible account of how the project will be built. Move from a line in a programme to the work it describes.

Ask better questions before work starts.

Discuss whether trades have space to work, how access changes and what needs to be in place for the next stage. Bring those questions into planning reviews.

Bring more people into the review.

Let site teams, planners and stakeholders explore the same sequence. A shared visual reference makes specialist programme information easier to discuss.

Put the project at the centre of the tool.

Shape the interface, level of detail and data workflow around your team. Focus on the activities and decisions that matter to the job.

Bring us a model, a programme and a question.

We’ll work through the workflow and the desktop tool your team needs.
