CadMakers

CadMakers is a construction technology company that models projects virtually before anything is built on site. Its digital-only teams of builders and fabricators produce integrated models linking design intent, fabrication and construction methods, and it also sells its own planning and production-tracking software. Its project list covers work in several countries.

What CadMakers offers

• Digital construction twins — full virtual models of a building used to spot risks early and cut change orders.
• Digital fabrication twins — automated workflows that produce fabrication outputs straight from the model, with design-for-manufacture and assembly input.
• Digital manufacturing services — process planning in DELMIA, robotics workcell validation, and parametric modelling in CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
• cmBuilder — visual planning software for 3D site logistics models and 4D construction simulations.
• Production tracking — a web platform that reports production status and links supply chain, fabrication, logistics and installation.

Who it works with

CadMakers serves owners and developers, general contractors and construction managers, fabricators and manufacturing process planners. Named projects include Forma at 266 King St and The City of Lougheed, and Lendlease has worked with the firm on projects in its portfolio.
