PLS-CADD & TOWER are now available in Nepal, providing engineers with advanced tools for designing and analyzing transmission and distribution lines. Through Forefront Engineering, authorized partner of Bentley Systems, users receive local licensing, training, and technical support, enabling accurate surveys, optimized tower placement, and reliable, cost-effective power infrastructure development.

Nepal’s road and bridge projects often suffer from delays, cost overruns, and repeated disruptions caused by terrain, climate, and fragmented planning. Bridge Information Modelling (BrIM) offers a practical shift from reactive construction to informed digital delivery, improving coordination, quantities, risk visibility, and seasonal planning for more resilient transport infrastructure.

Many engineering projects in Nepal face delays and rework due to unclear instructions, missing documentation, inconsistent supervision, and outdated drawings. These issues persist not because of weak engineering skills, but due to traditional workflows that rely on verbal communication and fragmented records. Digital QA/QC introduces structured documentation, standardized inspections, and better drawing control, enabling clarity, accountability, and predictable outcomes.

Nepal’s engineering and construction sector has crossed a structural threshold. Projects today are larger, more interdisciplinary, and subject to greater scrutiny than at any point in the past. Errors that were once absorbed through contingencies now translate directly into delays, disputes, and reputational damage. In this environment, digital coordination is no longer an enhancement, it is an operational necessity.

Forefront Engineering Pvt. Ltd. delivered an industry-focused presentation to master’s in construction management (MCM) students, strengthening academia–industry collaboration. The session was welcomed by Er. Hari Mohan Shrestha, Head of the Civil Engineering Department, and Dr. Hare Ram Shrestha. Mahesh Karki and Sudhir Thapa shared practical insights on construction management, BIM, and real-world project delivery in Nepal.

Digital construction is transforming how Nepalese contractors plan, build, and monitor projects. By combining BIM, cloud documentation, digital QA/QC, and dashboards, teams reduce rework, improve compliance with Nepalese codes, and deliver clearer reporting for clients across buildings, hydropower, and roads.
