"Digital project delivery brings together communication, visualization, and safety. These are key components for our industry to innovate and go digital."
“Concrete is one of the world’s only truly plastic building materials, and it allows architects to design iconic structures that stand the test of time, with low maintenance over 100-year life cycles."
“While we’re a smaller firm, we plan to become a leader in maximizing our technical capabilities. Now that we have a hub for documentation, new delivery models, and our cultural changes, we’ve made ourselves a firm for the 21st century.”
“Autodesk’s export function helped us transfer the data from the authoring program, and we were able to process it using our coordination software."
“On a similar project, such a special structure would increase the labor workload of surveying and mapping by more than three times.”
“BIM 360 DOCS is the online project management platform that we use to share, trace, review and visualize information both internally and with our clients. The graphical and management features allow our customers to play a more active role throughout the process as it does not require specific software or technical knowledge to obtain access to all the information.”
“An inordinate amount of time is spent resolving issues stemming from [poor] coordination and communication.’’ This is where BIM 360 comes in, to help keep everyone on the same page as they put the finishing touches on an 18-story hotel."
“Revit is used by the majority of the design consultants we work with and DWG is the most popular design format in our local industry. We initially purchased Advance Steel because it is compatible with both Revit and the DWG format.”
“Then, they can repurpose materials into more permanent situations like patient rooms, ICUs, isolation rooms, and clinical exam rooms.”
“We also create 3D parametric models in Inventor. We can then modify the parameters of the architectural drawings with Inventor to rebuild the model using parametrics, and then we have a complete 3D model in Inventor. You can literally push a button and in minutes get things ready for the plant floor.”
“Alfredo’s name popped up a lot in forums related to tension membrane requirements and how to model membrane within the Revit environment. Alfredo clearly had the appropriate skill set to help guide us in the right direction.”
“The software allows us to get our designs out quickly. We’ve been doing this for years, and we succeed because we have an aluminium-engineered membrane structure that is ideal not only for emergency response but for other applications later.”
“We needed to reimagine the design and preconstruction phase by using a common data environment to create a shared view of all activities, dependencies, deadlines, and inquiries, this would eliminate data silos, streamline review cycles, and extract real-time data for design coordination and review, quantity-take-off, and mark-ups.”
“Assemble is a great tool as it’s easy to use, regardless of BIM technology expertise. With Assemble, you can create your own structure of the BIM model and extract data for checks and quantity take-off. You can see which parameters are not filled, add the missing data, and push it back to Revit.”
“We also needed multi-regional data viewing and iterative updates from all parties involved in the project."
