Success Story

C2AE Trusts IMAGINiT with BIM Management Services

C2AE Trusts IMAGINiT with BIM Management Services

Customer challenge

For several years, the Building division within C2AE successfully followed a BIM-management-by-committee approach to making decisions on procedures, standards, and best practices. The company’s designers and engineers would meet in person or online, discuss the options, and determine next steps. As the company’s team grew in size and experience level, coming to a consensus became more difficult. C2AE recognized the need to select one person to be the point person responsible for gathering and evaluating all the opinions and deciding which to select and implement.

Project goals

“C2AE had worked with IMAGINiT on numerous projects over the years, including a successful Revit software implementation and a Strategic Process Review which resulted in significant improvements in efficiency and productivity,” said Betsy Ormsbee, Operations Manager, C2AE. “During a regular call with our IMAGINiT account manager, I discussed the difficulties of selecting one person from a team full of experienced individuals to make decisions on topics that had been made by committee for years. The account manager suggested that we look into bringing a BIM management expert from IMAGINiT in to alleviate any tensions that may occur with an internal selection and to share best practices learned from working with dozens of companies in a similar capacity.”

Solution

Impressed with the data and confident that IMAGINiT would take the time to understand their unique situations, select solutions based on best practices, explain the decision-making process, and successfully oversee the implementation of the solutions, C2AE engaged Autodesk Solution Provider IMAGINiT for one year of BIM management consulting services. The services consisted of a Buildings Solutions manager from IMAGINiT acting as the C2AE Building division’s BIM manager and included the following responsibilities: • Attending C2AE team meetings • Establishing procedures, naming conventions, standards • Providing over-the-shoulder mentoring • Identifying root causes of issues and developing solutions • Building new templates

Business outcome

“Having the IMAGINiT specialist lead our BIM activities proved to be the right solution,” said Betsy. “He fit right in and worked as an extension of our team. Over the course of a year, we successfully improved old standards and implemented new ones. And now that we no longer spend so much time in meetings, we are free to focus more on production.”

Conclusion

“We continue to work with IMAGINiT on several different types of projects,” said Betsy. “Most recently, we turned to them for training on how to effectively use Leica CloudWorx software to measure spaces and create as-built models. They know our company and our people, and they take the time to understand our challenges before recommending solutions. We value the partnership that we have with IMAGINiT and look forward to more opportunities.”

Swinterton Delivers Value and Achieves ROI with Leica RTC360 Scanner

When renovating buildings, Swinerton starts with as-built measurements provided by clients. Because those drawings rarely include updates, Swinerton relied on their architects to manually measure spaces, put those measurements into Autodesk Revit, and provide PDFs of the information to the designers, who used them as the starting point for renovations. Swinerton started getting laser scans of structures at the beginning of renovation projects using external companies to perform the scanning. “The laser scanners led to great improvements,” said Matt Zwetzig, VD&C Manager, Swinerton. “Measurements were gathered in a fraction of the time, teams knew they were working with accurate information, plans were created faster, correct parts were ordered the first time, and the parts fit as expected.” With business growing and timelines shortening, Matt determined it was time to compare costs for hiring external providers versus purchasing a scanner and completing the work in house.
