CTI Engineering has developed a business-efficiency boosting tool for park development business.

To boost the efficiency of park development business, our company has developed Park Budgeter, a tool for estimating business expenses and converting to 3D CAD data that can be used for everything from conceptualizing and planning to the design stage.　

　

This developed technology automatically calculates business expenses, which enables smoother consensus building during the planning stage. In addition, Park Budgeter makes it easy to create the CAD drawings and management ledgers necessary for maintenance management business.

　

1. Background
During the park-development-business planning stage, it is necessary to engage in consensus building with diverse stakeholders, and there are frequently cases where significant plan reviews are necessary as a result of exceeding the target construction costs during the process of applying stakeholder needs. In addition, to ensure the success of park maintenance management business, it is essential to develop both management drawings and facility management ledgers for which precision is secured.　

　

2. Developed technological features and details
Park Budgeter enables the estimation of business expenses simply by positioning park facilities (including playground equipment, lighting, and restrooms) in a 3D space. This makes it possible to promptly create real development plans on the spot in line with the corresponding budget through simple trial and error while listening to the opinions of stakeholders. Park Budgeter can therefore be utilized in various situations, including the creation of ideas based on a wide range of perspectives during the conceptualization and planning stages as well as resident workshops.　　

　

Making ideas concrete at the scale of the corresponding business promotes better communication between the related stakeholders, helps to more smoothly achieve consensus building, and enables planning and design that do not require any reworking, all of which increases business efficiency. In addition, because Park Budgeter provides a function for converting to 3D CAD data as well as park facility attribute information, it can also be utilized as a highly precise facility management ledger for maintenance management after the completion of development.

3. Future outlook
Going forward, as a top planner of urban development projects, we intend to further apply this development technology, expand the functions of this tool, and consider how to utilize it for urban facilities other than parks as well, such as street space and station plazas.　

We will also continue to increase the precision of our tool as we strive to promote further business expansion and the creation of new value.
