BIM Data Standardization in Lifecycle of the Fit-out Design and Construction

BIM Data Standardization in Lifecycle of the Fit-out Design and Construction

Customer challenge

Tetris is a leading specialist in the offices fit-out business, both commercial and hotel spaces. The company participates in many international projects concerning the space planning of new offices as well as renovated buildings in the Design & Build formula. A very wide range of responsibilities, complex and international projects (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and more and more aware and demanding customers are the challenges that Tetris is facing. The answer for this is the digitization of all processes in the company: Improvement of cooperation, standardization, unification of tools, and design systems aimed at constant improvement of the quality of services provided by Tetris.

Project goals

Tetris key goals: 1) Streamlining and structuring the control of the design process to avoid errors in the early stages of the design 2) Improving communication with clients to limit significant changes in the project in its final stages 3) Faster and wider access to data using the CDE platform, allowing for the reduction of losses caused by downtime or by incorrect design revision 4) Implementation and internationalization of the design standards so that engineers can communicate based on the same data, working in many locations and on many projects 5) Improving data transfer from the design stage to the execution stage, including change management processes to avoid coordination problems

Solution

Following in-depth analysis and business process audits of the Tetris company to review business needs, Arkance Systems Poland set out to onboard and support the Tetris team with their needs. Establishing a set of standards based on conclusions from discussions with the designers from a few Tetris departments laid the groundwork for the introduction of BIM as a contractual requirement. Implementing Autodesk Revit, BIM 360 Design, and BIM 360 Docs with a set of manuals (Revit by Tetris) and a set of best practices was created which allowed for a standardized way of working and modeling.

Business outcome

The implementation started in 4 countries as pilot projects. In the first phase, Tetris focused on the design process itself and the improvement of the architects day to day work by defining common standards, resources and BIM families. The first projects in the pilot countries have already been completed, all project documentation has been created, and communication has been extended to other countries and teams of architects. An increasing number of engineers use developed standards, libraries, internal training, and other resources to optimize their daily work and provide Tetris clients with high-quality products (analyses, designs, models, visualizations).

Conclusion

"What is unique in the BIM implementation in Tetris: usage of the knowledge of many engineers, from many countries, with different experiences and practices to create a common and, most importantly, a consistent design and build standard based on a multi-branch design platform (Revit) and compatible coordination tool (BIM360)." "The implementation of BIM is part of the strategy of digitizing all processes in Tetris, standardizing all the tools used in the company, and improving cooperation between departments. We want to improve our work on each project, and thus offer an even better level of our services. BIM is to provide us with better control of the design process, allow faster and wider access to design data in one place." Joanna Gajewska-Sokołowska - Deputy COO for Tétris EMEA

BIM to the Construction Site Along With BIM Quality Management

"Making our engineers aware of what they are doing was the main reason for me to implement BIM 360 Build at PENDIK Projects," says Spencer Hellegering, head of the Projects department at the Veenendaal-based installer. Originally founded in 2006, PENDIK is a service company. With around 8,000 to 10,000 service contracts, mainly through housing associations and property managers, PENDIK was particularly strong in responding to complaints and reports. Setting up a Projects Department within an originally service-oriented company was quite a challenge. Hellegering: "The working method of a service company is very different. As a service company, you need different knowledge of installation technology than you do for new construction and renovation projects. The staff have to start thinking differently. We used to go to a leak and fix it. But now we have to make sure it doesn't leak!" PENDIK now employs around 40 people, 20 of whom work in the Projects Department.


Gare Maritime as a Showpiece of Study Techniques with Focus on Sustainability

Boydens Engineering is a construction engineering and design office active in the conceptualisation, design and control of technical building installations. They explicitly and with a great sense of responsibility strive for sustainable and energy-neutral buildings. Kurt Corvers, operational director and partner at Boydens Engineering, explains how his engineering office converts concepts into sustainable designs and how Arkance Systems helps them do so. Their latest showpiece is the office space 'Gare Maritime' on the Brussels site of Tour & Taxis.


Communication on site via BIM 360

As one of the largest construction companies in Flanders, MBG stands out for its sense of innovation. In order to optimise their complex Design and Build projects, MBG is investing heavily in the digitisation of their building sites. With Autodesk BIM 360, they have a powerful tool that makes 'bimming' on the building site more accessible and easier. In 2018, the then project manager Nelis Van Loock was appointed BIM Coordinator to streamline everything and put the BIM 360 platform into practice on the site.
