The "CORONET X Regulatory Approval for Building Works (RABW)" course provided a comprehensive overview of the upcoming changes to the regulatory approval process in Singapore. Participants learned about the new three-gateway submission process, the requirements at each stage, and the introduction of the Direct Submission Process (DSP) as part of the differentiated approach. Case studies and a preview of the Submission Portal further reinforced the practical implications of these industry-wide transformations.

The "Quick Adoption Revit IFC-SG" course equipped participants with a deep understanding of the CORENET X platform, the benefits of OpenBIM and IFC, and the practical application of IFC-SG model mapping within the Revit BIM authoring tool. Attendees gained hands-on experience in embedding relevant IFC-SG information into BIM models, as well as validating their compliance through the IFC-SG Validator.

As the built environment industry continues to evolve, this approach ensures Atlas stays at the forefront of regulatory changes and technological advancements.

A productive week was had by all during the recent visit to our Ho Chi Minh City office by Make Architects.

There was some great brainstorming and strategising around design documentation support, visualisation, our Python and Dynamo scripts, and where AI is taking the architecture, engineering and construction industry.

We look forward to another eighteen years of collaboration, innovation and supporting Make on exciting projects.

Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedules to visit us.
