“On a similar project, such a special structure would increase the labor workload of surveying and mapping by more than three times.”
“It has been top-down from the owner for us to use as much building information modeling (BIM) and prefabrication and modularization as we can."
“Autodesk allows us to bring in complex geometry from other platforms, sync it up and coordinate with all the other disciplines. It can still be updated relatively seamlessly with other software.”
"We are effectively utilizing Autodesk Tandem in our maintenance procedures."
“With the digital twin initiative, we were trying to answer three basic questions: What is the definition of a digital twin? How do you create a digital twin? And what is the value of having a digital twin?”
“Working on this pilot with Swegon was really great because they saw the value in working together and wanted to put in the work to integrate their system into Tandem.”
“The process of obtaining data from the sensors into Tandem is very straightforward.”
“We have things that are built with older methods. And it’s very difficult to understand all the systems of the building quickly.”
“The investment of time and effort the MEP and construction teams put in for the whole building right now stops after coordination.”
“Having a digital twin of a building is a real benefit to us. Not only can I identify the assets in the space, but those assets have operations manuals directly attached in Tandem. So rather than having a manual remotely someplace, the manual is wherever I am.”
"Using Recap Pro, we discovered its capabilities allow us to view scenes in 3D and measure building walls and structures precisely. This technology lets us measure distances in three dimensions, even for abandoned buildings. The combination of laser scanning and 3D modelling is making accurate dimension extraction a game-changer for future projects."
“The power of Revit and properly drawing in Revit is that you can set up a methodology in the beginning that can scale up in complexity and grow over time so that you get further than you would have otherwise, from concept all the way to construction documents.”
“We made this choice of using BIM and GIS very intentionally and driven by the belief that we could benefit from these two communities of practices. We don’t have to rely on the manual handover of information or data from one environment to the other since everything is in one place continuously updated and accessible to all teams.”
“Whether something was generated from ArcGIS or created by an engineer or designer with Autodesk tools, internal and external stakeholders and colleagues can now work together more effectively, considering all the information available.”
“When working with architects, we could easily slot in our designs. The ability to use BIM and store all our models with Autodesk Construction Cloud allows us to easily exchange information with the large number of contractors and stakeholders.”
