KUALA LUMPUR: Nova MSC Bhd has secured a RM14.4 million new order for the provision of FORNAX ePlanCheck (FXEPC) software in Nigeria.
The company said its subsidiary novaCITYNETS International Ltd had signed an agreement with ENL-Nova Ltd (ENLN) for the provision of FXEPC software to ENLN's electronic physical planning process system project (EPPPS) from the Nigeria Lagos state government.
The contract will be for 10 years from 2022 to 2031.
"The agreement is based on a pay-per-use revenue model and would depend on ENLN's revenue collection from EPPPS and the end-users adoption to the EPPPS," it said.
FXEPC service provides Qualified Persons (QPs) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) managers an avenue to perform automated checks on BIM models to audit for data completeness, modelling quality according to best practices, compare models between iterations and detect critical clashes of vital elements.
Nova MSC group chief executive officer Lai Teik Kin said the company's state-of-the-art FXEPC hadvbeen in development since 2002.
Lai said the FXEPC had undergone many cycles of improvements with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate the checking process.
"FXEPC will help to change the industry as the laborious nature of building plan checks could be simplified.
"What normally takes weeks or even months for completion, would only require mere hours with our FXEPC, giving a tremendous boost in productivity to the industry," he said.
