Virtual Option Management
Hundreds to thousands of preprogrammed structural options coming together in a matter of minutes.
CG Visions has a proven track record of helping production home builders manage the complexity of options and upgrades. We specialize in coordinating the increase in possible option combinations as structural and upgrade options are added to a plan. Understanding the Option Predicament and evaluating the builder’s end goal, allows CG Visions to determine the most efficient method needed to achieve that objective.
By leveraging intelligent BIM data in conjunction with an option management methodology, CG Visions aids builders in multiple areas when dealing with option management.
The Option Predicament becomes critical as plans evolve, markets change, and more municipalities require “ As Built” documentation sets for permit approval. The ability to effectively and efficiently manage options in not a only master set document form, but also lost specific sets and Option Costing is vital for production builders. Many software tools are now available to help manage the strategy; however a strategy must first be established in order to use these tools to their full potential.
Option management services include:
- Structural Options - Establishment of an option structure which supports plan maintenance, pricing methods, sales, and ideal market variety.
- Master Sets - Development of Master Sets/Bid Sets/Trade Specific CDs/Approval Sets which show the combinations of available options, and establishing procedures to easily maintain these sets as plans evolve.
- Lot Specifics - Generation of “As Built” or “Lot Specific” Sets to clarify exactly what is to be built on specific site.
- +/- BOM - Aid in the Option Costing process by understanding differential material reports derived from base and option combinations.
