I am a manager of Virtual Design and Construction in a small company named Premier Energy Co.,Ltd. We are a general contractor for large scale renewable energy projects. Most of our works were Biogas generation system. Some of the photos were real projects and some were promising projects.

In Thailand,BIM is very difficult to implement in our construction industry. Especially for a small consulting and construction company like us. Last 2 years I came across the website talking about "3D CONSTRUCTION MODEL BY SKETCHUP" and sine then I have spent most of my energy to implement this process in my company.

You can come to see all of my process of work at http://www.bimforwwt.blogspot.com. I call my department "Virtual Design and Construction Department". We are using Sketchup as a main tool to manage our construction project's life cycle. We are just beginning and hope that we can use this new process to be a new option for companies who are failing to apply BIM, IPD or VDC.....

BOM and visualization power are geart in SKETCHUP as you are doing. But in my point of view, Sketchup could be more. I think it can make 4D and 5D for managing construction plan and resources and also cash flow, respectively. The true value of sketchup for construction industry should be done. in this way I guess.

I have used Sketchup in the way that most people do not do. Because, I am in the construction industry, my work is to use Sketchup to promote collaboration between our clients (owners), my consulting team and our sub-contractors. The collaboration can be done in 3 ways

I am using Sketchup for VDC, it is not so good as what a true BIM software doesm but it is more easy and fun (and effectively)
http://bimforwwt.blogspot.com/2013/03/piece-based-assembly-modeling-by.html

I am involving in 4 large construction projects this year. With the lack of resources (a small company always faces this problem especially in developing countries such as Thailand) we should turn our eyes on the innovation which reduces time and cost. BIM is the best solution available in the market.......but just hold on a second! see what I would like you to see.

As I have been kept saying " the big change must be started with " Easy and Fun". So now I am developing the working network in Sketchup and Google drive environment. Sketchup is easy to use and addictive while Google drive is free and it has multiple advantages. If we wisely manage them together......

SKETCHUP HOME FOR ENGINEERS

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
This is why my new engineerss are learning sKetchup. It is the only tool in the world can give me us to be being art and engineering.

A small consulting company is using SKETCHUP for wastewatertreatment projects.

The biogas is generated from all kind of biodegradable organic substances. The process of biogas generation is quite complex it takes time to explain you all about it. In one of my project, we can generate biogas more than 100,000 Nm3/day which is equal to 10 Mwe (electrical power) for 24 hours....

My name is Pom from Thailand. I am now applying Sketchup for entire project life cycle. I have been involving in several large wastewater treatment projects in Thailand. Come to see my works......young engineers with eyes of inspiration.
