Procurement, Fabrication & Construction

Introduction: Why Digital Transformation Matters Now

Industrial construction is at a crossroads. Projects are more complex, timelines are tighter and the pressure to deliver safely, efficiently and on budget has never been greater. Yet, many teams still struggle with fragmented data, manual processes and a lack of real-time visibility. The Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division's Smarter Industry Webinar Series tackles these challenges head-on, showing how digital solutions can drive real business value across the entire project lifecycle.

This three-part series—hosted by Hexagon’s industry experts—dives deep into the practical ways technology is reshaping project delivery. Whether you’re an owner, EPC or contractor, these sessions offer actionable insights and real-world examples that will inspire you to rethink what’s possible.  

Session 1: Enhancing Digital Handover and Consistency Through Connected Applications

Key Takeaway:

Manual handover processes and fragmented data are a recipe for delays, rework and compliance risks. Intergraph Smart® Completions, integrated with SDX and Smart P&ID, creates a unified digital workflow that streamlines project completion, commissioning and handover.

What’s the Problem?

Projects often suffer from scattered data, disconnected handover processes and a lack of visibility. Teams can’t see daily progress, mistakes go unnoticed and handover to operations is anything but seamless.

The Solution:

Smart Completions brings asset data together in one place, digitizing every step from pre-commissioning to final handover. Field teams use mobile devices to capture progress in real time, while engineering and quality teams gain near instant visibility into system readiness and outstanding constraints.

Real-World Example:

On the Rozelle Interchange Project in New South Wales, Australia, the delivery team faced the daunting task of coordinating thousands of activities across a complex underground motorway. By adopting Intergraph Smart® Completions, they achieved a unified digital workflow for ITRs, punch lists and turnover documentation. The result? A fully traceable, auditable completions record that supported a smooth transition into commissioning and operations—eliminating manual spreadsheets, reducing rework and ensuring every discipline worked from a single source of truth.

Why It Matters:

This isn’t just about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about safer, faster and more cost-effective project delivery. By digitizing and centralizing critical data, teams can make better decisions, reduce risk and accelerate handover—all while meeting the growing expectations of owners and regulators.

Session 2: Transforming Project Complexity into Efficiency with iConstruct™

Key Takeaway:

Visual intelligence is the antidote to information overload. Hexagon’s iConstruct™, built on Navisworks, empowers teams to move from paper to digital, improving visibility, decision-making and reporting throughout the construction phase.

What’s the Problem?

Modern projects generate mountains of data, but much of it is still trapped in paper, Excel sheets or siloed systems. This creates gaps in visibility and delays in decision-making.

The Solution:

iConstruct™ acts as the visualisation platform for construction, integrating 3D models, schedules, materials and progress data. It enables real-time progress tracking, automated reporting and advanced work packaging—all within a familiar 3D environment.

Real-World Example:

Imagine a large EPC managing a compressor station package. Without visual intelligence, sequencing clashes with deliveries, crews idle and progress reporting lags. With iConstruct™, planners generate work packs aligned to material availability and install sequence, then push those packs to the field with clear visual context. Supervisors validate install readiness in the model, spot access issues early and update progress back to the system. The result: fewer late changes, tighter look-ahead and measurable reductions in rework.

Bonus:

iConstruct™ isn’t just for construction. Engineering teams use it for automated model conditioning, document control integration and report generation—keeping design and construction in lockstep, even as changes occur.

Why It Matters:

iConstruct™ democratizes digital maturity. You don’t need every vendor or subcontractor to be fully digital; the platform can aggregate data from simple sources like Excel and Access, making advanced capabilities accessible to all project partners.

Session 3: Optimizing Subcontract Management in Modern Capital Projects

Key Takeaway:

Subcontract management is often overlooked, but it’s critical to project success. HxGN Supply Chain Core™ solution streamlines contract management, improves efficiency and reduces risk from procurement planning to post-award activities.

What’s the Problem?

Subcontracts make up a large portion of construction costs and poor contract management can erode up to 9% of project value annually. Manual, paper-based processes lead to slow approvals, hidden risks and value leakage.

The Solution:

Hexagon’s solution digitizes the entire contract lifecycle—from planning and bidding to progress claims and change management. Contractors self-register, submit bids and manage documents through a web-based portal. Progress claims are tracked in real time and change orders are managed through structured workflows.

Real-World Example:

On a recent project, teams used Hexagon’s dashboards to gain real-time visibility into contract milestones and claims. This allowed them to quickly identify delays, reallocate resources and coordinate with contractors before issues impacted the schedule. Instead of waiting for outdated manual reports, they could spot issues early and keep the project on track.

Why It Matters:

By digitizing contract management, teams can make better, faster decisions, reduce administrative burden and ensure compliance. Integration with Hexagon Ecosys™ provides portfolio-level visibility, linking contract performance to financial outcomes.

The Big Picture: A Connected Digital Backbone

Across all three sessions, a common thread emerges: Hexagon’s vision for a Smart Digital Reality. By connecting design, construction and operations through a digital backbone, organizations can:

• • Eliminate data silos and manual handovers
  • Enable real-time collaboration and decision-making
  • Improve safety, quality and compliance
  • Deliver projects faster, with fewer errors and lower costs

Hexagon’s suite of tools, including Intergraph Smart® Completions, iConstruct™, HxGN Supply Chain Core™ and more—empowers teams to work smarter, not harder.
