VisionREZ Awarded 2011 Constructech Top Product

ALLEN, Texas, March 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, Ameri-CAD, Inc. - An ITW Company announced that their VisionREZ residential Building Information Modeling (BIM) software is a Constructech residential Top Product winner for 2011 in the Trusted Products category. The Constructech Top Products honor technology solutions that have demonstrated the greatest innovations geared toward the homebuilding market.

"Ameri-CAD is honored that VisionREZ was once again chosen as a Top Product in 2011 by Constructech," says Jay Moore, Ameri-CAD Business Development Manager. "Through ITW Instinct, VisionREZ creates value for the entire supply chain by initiating the first step in a collaborative process of sharing architectural models and data with manufacturing software to create a bi-directional concept to construction solution."  

"ITW Instinct is much more than software. Instinct is a residential design system, comprised of a BIM-focused process, products, services, and applications - including VisionREZ, hsbCAD, VIEW, IntelliBuild, HomeBASE, and eShop - that finally makes residential BIM a reality for the entire building supply chain," says Antonio Justice, Vice President, ITW Building Components Group. "Instinct will change how architects, engineers, component manufacturers, suppliers, builders, and tradespeople work together, helping to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve collaboration."

Each year Constructech recognizes the achievements of the construction industry and the Constructech Top Products awards are truly a snapshot of those successes.  

"Technology solutions are becoming more efficient, as are the companies who are implementing them," says Mike Carrozzo, chief editor, Constructech magazine. "We continue to see a demand for smarter, more efficient solutions, as homebuilders look for technology that will not only help them to serve their customers better, but also keep costs at a minimum. Constructech's winning products of 2011 are serving this purpose, and the companies who bring each product to market are striving to meet that demand."
