Construction diary and construction documentation (beta)

Manage defects and tasks with tickets

Construction diary and construction supervision – you need to keep track of what needs to be done, by whom and by when. The ticket system in NOVA AVA helps you with this. And there’s more: whoever is responsible for a task according to the ticket is notified and can process the ticket directly on your NOVA AVA platform.

NOVA AVA naturally includes everything that is standard for tickets: Photos, location in the plan, responsibility, deadline, processing status. Many can do that.

NOVA AVA goes much further:

• NOVA AVA integrates billing and tickets! You can refer tickets directly to service items in the order BOQ. Such service items are then specially marked in the construction invoice. This helps immensely when checking measurements and invoices. Because you can go directly from the service items marked in this way to the ticket and see exactly what the issue/defect is.
• And since NOVA AVA can do BIM really well, you can of course locate your ticket in the model. NOVA AVA does this in the same way as the open BIM world standard BCF.

Protocols

In phase 8, a large number of minutes must be kept (meetings, inspections, approvals, etc.). NOVA AVA helps you to create and maintain order. You do this in NOVA AVA under “Minutes”. There you will find all minutes in a central overview – with categories, filter options, etc.

Tasks with responsibilities and deadlines are an essential part of every construction meeting. With the ticket system, you can easily keep an eye on these points. You can enter new topics in a meeting as a ticket right away and then link it to your meeting minutes.

In short: There is only one ticket for a task, which is linked to the right places – in your log, in your construction diary and – additionally, always possible – to the relevant service item in the order BOQ, etc.

Construction diary

In a way, a construction diary is also a log. But a very special one with a very special must. That’s why NOVA AVA has its own tab. This is where you record all mandatory information directly.

And of course you always notice things that still need to be done or put in order. You know that there are tickets for this in NOVA AVA. And of course, you can also link tickets directly to the construction diary.

Plans and BIM model

Under “Plans”, you store all plans that are required for the construction site in a structured manner. In these plans, you locate tasks and defects when you create a ticket. Whoever has to process the ticket will then see it exactly in the plan. In the plan view itself, you can see all marked tickets.

If you work with BIM, your BIM model is available to you everywhere in NOVA AVA – from the cost framework to the final invoice. In construction supervision, you can locate your ticket directly in the BIM model. NOVA AVA does this directly with the open BIM method BCF (Building Collaboration Format).

When creating a ticket, you can open your model, navigate to the relevant component and then select the component. The viewing angle is also saved in your BCF ticket. For anyone who then looks at the BCF ticket in the model, the “camera” zooms directly onto the component with the exact view in which you have selected it.
