This can be a very good opportunity in the BIM Architecture Ecosystem, so that with only three people in a team can create good work, and even then if managed properly such as preparing a BIM Execution Plan. Create a small and creative team with just three people, not more, and create a mutual cooperation mode and understand the Level of Development, starting with the design concept in the form of a business plant for investors' needs to calculate financial planning in terms of volume and area, "he said
Next, Tony said, make a Schematic Design for the management's needs to produce a floor plan and pieces. Next enter the Detailed Design for QS consultation needs in the preparation of tender documents. Do not miss the construction documentation, for the needs of the contractor to build and oversee the quality of work, and remember that the gbar is combined in one file, then enter the Shop Drawing stage for the factory needs to assemble out items to be installed by the applicator and finally the As Build Drawing for building maintenance needs after operation, "he said.
He said that Archipreneur is Next level evolution of achitecture. Because learning from other subjects such as foodpreneur, gamepreneur, travelpreneur to livepreneur so he believes archipreneur can also develop rapidly.
