“We knew every dollar we saved could be used by the hospital to provide care to a patient.”
"Centralized data management in Vault is straightforward to understand. There is a Japanese-owned company in Vietnam that supports design and estimation in the construction industry, and since last year, we have been supporting them with drawings. We also work with the local site through Vault, and there is no problem at all. We have realized firsthand that it is possible to make good use of overseas staff, such as those in Vietnam, and to collaborate with other companies smoothly."
“We revitalize places by listening to the community and applying our technical expertise.”
“Expo 2020 Dubai is one of the biggest events to be held in this region. It will be a celebration of innovation and ingenuity that brings together over 200 countries, companies, and NGOs [nongovermental organizations], as well as millions of visitors from around the world. It is a large-scale, complex project with many stakeholders, and the amount of information—which we need to manage in order to deliver the project on time, to budget, and safely—is huge. We committed to the extensive use of BIM early on, and we have already seen it paying dividends across Expo 2020.”
“This project was the first Japanese use of 3D models and attribution for construction management. The use of data and BIM made an incredible impact on the project.”
“BIM helped us to fulfill the vision of building one of the greenest projects in the world. The Porter School of Environmental Studies shows the power of BIM to improve the design and sustainability aspects during the planning and after completion of building. No matter the scale, budget, or program of your next project, it should share the same sustainable values and adopt BIM to meet the current and upcoming challenges.”
“Only by using BIM could we reach our core goal of zero energy consumption. The inspiring design and purpose of the center, combined with the commitment to sustainability, makes the project an important contribution to the community.”
"I was drawing a guitar in AutoCAD and I wasn’t that good in the beginning. I had drawn some splines, but I didn’t know how to convert them yet so I had made them red. I looked at my screen and there it was: a red layer in AutoCAD. And Red Layer Guitars became the name of my company. So there you have it…AutoCAD really is in every part of my life.”
“This part of our job is all about communication."
“It’s so much easier for the external stakeholders to understand what’s going on with the project and how the design and construction will impact their properties. And when we add the color scans, it’s as if they’re looking at the finished product.”
“We needed to get away from managing this facility with thousands of 2D drawings. What we really needed for Glen Canyon was a comprehensive 3D model of the dam, the canyon walls, the reservoir area upstream of the dam, the river downstream, and the power plant—inside and out."
“One of the keys to our success is the ability to quickly convert the spaces we lease into rentable WeWork locations."
"Inventor software enables West Hills Construction to generate productionready models, and Vault Manufacturing helps us capture immediate feedback, preventing costly errors later in the process. On a job of this nature, Autodesk software may save us from misquoting by $200,000 in net profit."
“With network data integrated into one system, we’ve got the information we need to quickly approve new solar and wind hookups all in one easy-to-use location. What used to take several days up or up to two weeks can now be accomplished for our customers in a few hours.”
"Revit LT is the best low-cost option for BIM and 3D modeling. The software works the way a structural engineer thinks—in three dimensions. It’s easy to use and differentiates our firm, giving us an instant competitive advantage."
