Affinity for Programming

Trelligence Affinity is architectural software that models your programming process and facilitates communication between design team members. The software provides unique tools to capture program requirements and create accurate design schematics based on team-wide input and access to the information created in the programming process. Affinity projects can be directly integrated into commercially available CAD tools so the design/build continuum is managed more effectively.

Trelligence Affinity delivers the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) – delivering better team communication, faster planning and less rework – to the pre-design phase of your projects.

Benefits of Trelligence Affinity
• Customizable software reflects unique programming processes
• Captures detailed client requirements
• Clearly illustrates the impact of various choices on cost and design
• Allows brainstorming of multiple design scenarios in less time
• Estimates projects sooner with greater accuracy
• Continuously reevaluates the current design against requirements
• Reduces costs and wasted time by minimizing rework
• Stores templates and building requirements to speed future projects
• Increases effectiveness and communication among the design team
• Drives up client satisfaction and increases revenue
• Identifies and reinforces best practices within the organization

Separating Planning from Detailed Design

For many building projects, the early design work is led by team members with a different skill set than the design and CAD/BIM specialists. Moreover, today’s design tools do not offer the ability to capture detailed program requirements such as space adjacencies and abstract constraints. Affinity is an ideal tool for the client-facing architect or engineer who is not an expert in CAD and BIM modeling software. And the work done in Affinity can be integrated into the design tools without losing the information recorded in the program or without redrawing the schematic.
