• Building and construction companies
lack a standard way to manage and automate the entire building
process, from design through to construction. As a result, many
steps depend on manual intervention to occur. This can result in
time delays, extra expenses, constant concern about accuracy and
the risk of costly reworks.
• ESS has used its 10 years of experience
as Australia's market leader in designing customised solutions
for leading companies such as BHP (now BlueScope Steel) to
create a single integrated solution that meets the requirements
of framing-type companies, whether they work in wood, steel,
concrete or aluminium. From design to manufacture, e:Frame
delivers software applications that can automatically create
design drawings, engineering calculations, documents for
building approvals and component supplies and work orders. With
e:Frame, what you see is what you get. Its fully integrated
design reduces time-consuming manual processes, eliminates
errors and reduces the cost of onsite rework.
 Who
Benefits from e:Frame? |
 |
 |
• e:Frame is designed to assist companies involved in
the building and construction industry allowing the design of
various structures ranging from domestic structures, sheds,
pergolas, decking, verandas through to rural and commercial
buildings.
• e:Frame is a popular and proven framing design
system that can be built around your business or product.
e:Frame automates the design process of the structure and can
provide full control through to production and assembly.
e:Frame can help you enhance your product sales, improve
quality and delivery consistency as well as slash thousands of
dollars in design and production costs.
| How Does
e:Frame Benefit You? |
|
|
• Meeting your business needs: e:Frame
is both a product and service that uses existing intelligent
modules to rapidly create your unique framing design system.
This gives you a customised solution to deploy in your own
business. You can also sell or distribute the software to your
customers or franchisees.
• Quicker time to market: e:Frame
provides you with a better return on your software investment,
as you're not creating a product from scratch. The existing
modules at ESS can save you months or even years of
development and testing time, enabling you to enter the market
sooner.
• Fully integrated solution: e:Frame
enables you to avoid buying expensive CAD-type products as
your customised e:Frame solution contains everything you
require in a fully integrated system.
• Flexible framing design: e:Frame
addresses all types of framed structures. This enables you to
create complete designs with certified engineering and
production output to virtually any type of roll form
controller, saw or robotic assembly plant.
• Handles the smallest details:
e:Frame's 3D Design System provides an excellent interactive
viewing and modelling environment. This allows every detail to
be revealed, with complex areas resolved, before production or
installation commences. This dramatically reduces the risk of
errors and costly reworks.
• Handles any building style:
e:Frame can be customised to address any style of building
with a range of highly automated design tools. This extends
the range of buildings you can construct quickly and
profitably.
• Complies with Australian and international
standards: e:Frame can be supplied with a range of
engineering modules to address the statutory requirements of
any design standard both locally and internationally.
• Optimises your design: e:Frame can
slash cost through optimising your design, identifying the
design limits to reduce material and labour usage.
• Guarantee your profit margin:
e:Frame offers you more than design, engineering and
automation. e:Frame provides you with the tools to manage
resources to complete projects and determine an accurate
materials list. This is achieved through ESS's unique Bill Of
Material (BOM) and Bill Of Work (BOW) systems. These systems
can operate at the most basic level of costing, at a fixed
price per square metre, through to the most detailed level,
where the exact cost of a structure can be calculated. This
gives you absolute cost control over every project, allowing
you to achieve full cost recovery and guarantee your bottom
line.
• Real time reporting. e:Frame
ensures that you know what happening at any stage of your
project and can see instantly your profit margin on every
project.
