Through the Building Implementation Modeling (BIM) methodology, we work to strengthen the quality assurance and control processes as well as both graphic and non-graphic information of our projects, guaranteeing a better compliance with the requirements established by the different areas.
Objective 1
To reduce 70 % of the time destined to the execution of BIM quality reviews, because said process is currently made by hand and it takes a lot of time, preventing it from being totally completed.
To increase 60 % of the efficiency and the effectiveness of the processes, the times and the costs, through the implementation of tools that optimize the operational tasks.
How?
Objective 2
To certify the Urban Amenities Area and the Office of the Construction Manager in knowledge of BIM methodology and tools, allowing the ongoing integration of the processes of the company and the sustainability of the BIM implementation.
To strengthen the knowledge and to generate skills in BIM Tools through the training in BIM processes of all the personnel involved in the company’s active projects.

We received the BIM excellence award in the construction segment, housing category, for the Cantabria project. The award was granted by Camacol, Forum Colombia and the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory, thanks to the digital transformation in the site. This means that thanks to the mobile devices in the site to consult models and blueprints, we reduced the consumption of paper and we facilitated for the participants in the project the saving of time, costs and natural resources. Housing Project with six towers, 680 housing units and an area of 108,284 m².

This period has led us to reinvent ourselves to carry on with our daily duties. Without doubt, the technology is and will continue being one of the most valuable tools to carry out all day to day activities, furthermore during the pandemic. We at Amarilo were able to strengthen the digital infrastructure and with that the communications with all the manager offices. GRI 103-1, 103-2
Considering the current conjuncture, we focus our efforts on the company’s primary needs such as to give solutions to the sales and construction force. We developed, together with the office of the Marketing Manager, the creation of the Home from Home channel, a remote sales’ tool, that allowed us to approach potential customers showing them, via streaming, the housing projects in which they could be interested. On top of this, we supported the customers with electronic signature through DocuSign and virtual appointments using Teams.
We also moved forward with the technological renovation in the sales rooms and work sites thanks to the availability of new state-of-the-art equipment and the permanent access to internet that allowed us to have data analysis in real time as well as a coordinated communication between those areas.
Since the technological transformation in the sites is paramount, we put a RPA (automatization for the efficiency in processes) in motion. Through some software and a robot, we were able to automatize tasks that were done by hand before, reducing times, facilitating the analysis of data and, most of all, protecting the information.
We carried out an inventory of processes that were robotized and we trained more than twenty people of different areas in order to spread its knowledge and to adapt it to the needs of the instrumentalities of the company. Without doubt, the technology will bring more efficiencies and, with it, better results.
Lastly, we created the Digital Committee to lead the technological and transformation issues that will consolidate the digital culture and that will generate efficiencies that will translate into successful organizational achievements.
