" Our customers are extremely excited about our new , automated grade checking . For them , it is an entirely new level of efficiency and control . And for us , it is an ample example of what we want to achieve with DatuBIM : making infrastructure construction better ," says Dr . Jad Jarroush Datumate , Founder and CTO .
" DatuBIM ' s virtual 3D data objects derived from 2D plans and automated grade checking are a giant leap that brings our customers closer to BIM with 4D ( schedule ) and 5D ( costs ). Right now , we see that our customers , as the construction industry at large , need help in handling 3D . So our role is to make sure they reap all the benefits that 3D can offer ."
