Success Story
The facility is multifunctional with a predominant administrative function. The building is divided into two wings labeled as H and G within a broader area. The wings are connected by an underground floor (1.PP) and a connecting "neck" at levels 4 to 6.
Structurally, it is a load-bearing monolith, founded deeply (wing H) and partially on a slab (wing G). The substructure consists of a white tub and the construction pit was secured by anchored retaining walls. The building has a two-winged (H) or three-winged (G) combined load-bearing scheme. The superstructure consists of load-bearing perimeter walls complemented by internal columns, pillars with capitals, and slab beams. The unique feature is the connecting structure (the so-called "neck"), consisting of glued laminated timber trusses.
In addition to other documents, such as structured tender, conditions including construction standards, safety and operating schemes, or Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis, the tender conditions included a contractual standard for BIM – the BIM Protocol. It clearly specified rules for digital collaboration. The BIM Protocol included an Appendix for the Building Execution Plan (BEP) specification and an appendix related to the Common Data Environment (CDE).
The BEP specification included, among other things, the definition of Level of Information (LOI) requirements in the form of a table with defined parameters for each part of the model. Alongside information, the table prescribed a numerical Level of Development (LOD) for each part. In collaboration with the client, the LOD section was supplemented with Level of Geometry (LOG), providing graphic and textual descriptions of individual model parts. The LOG clarified how both parties understood the numerical definition of LOD and what they expected from the BIM model from the outset.
The use of the Design & Build method and providing the BIM model as part of the tender documentation allowed the client to fully leverage the experience and know-how of the PORR a.s. team, for example, by proposing HVAC optimizations.
The project "Construction of the Supreme Audit Office" utilized Autodesk Revit and Autodesk BIM 360 software. Autodesk Revit served as the fundamental software for creating project documentation and a BIM model meeting the client's requirements. The software streamlined the entire project work, from design to presenting the ongoing model realization, facilitating collaboration among a large team of designers and coordinating professions in real-time.
Collaboration made use of the Autodesk BIM 360 CDE – a platform with which PORR a.s. has extensive experience, capable of working directly with BIM models in addition to traditional document management. The BIM 360 Design module, enabling real-time collaboration among designers, was specifically employed in the design phase. All partial BIM models were stored on BIM 360, and designers worked on them in Revit directly from this CDE. This working method allowed the creation and maintenance of a construction model, referred to as the "digital twin," in sync with the actual construction project.
Through retrospective evaluation and comparison with other projects not designed using the BIM method, the following benefits were identified:
For all participants involved in this groundbreaking project, especially for all departments of the general contractor, PORR a.s., it can be stated that the undeniable advantages of digitization primarily include easier communication with both the investor and among various company departments (e.g., communication between the project department at the company's headquarters and on-site construction management), subcontractors, and all other involved parties. The establishment of a common data environment (CDE) ensures that all elements of the process are involved in the project from the initiation of work on project documentation to the completion of construction.

Graitec and Autodesk Combine to Help Penta Rise to the CAM Machining Challenge
Penta Precision Engineering is a specialist engineering company focused on providing a high-quality precision machining service to customers to an ISO 9001 quality accredited standard. The company works for customers across a wide range of industry sectors from aerospace to marine equipment, from medical devices to military cameras and manages machining requirements for these businesses, using modern computer numerical control (CNC) machines, quick set tooling and fixtures and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques to ensure designs meet exacting client requirements and deliver quality parts, including jigs and fixtures. The company needed to continuously evolve its tooling design to keep up with industry demands and the requirements of its mainly project-based customers.
Graitec helps Visivo optimise Autodesk 3ds Max to deliver high-performance gym designs
Visivo is a 3D animation company specialising in 3D visualisations, fly-through animations, and virtual reality (VR) representations of gyms. Visivo’s work enables gym owners or franchisees to visualise their gym designs more clearly, especially during the pre-sale period of a new franchise opening. The company uses 3D computer graphics software from Autodesk to carry out this work. In doing so, it draws on training and support provided by Autodesk platinum partner, Graitec. To be successful, Visivo needs to showcase to gym owners and franchisees how their gym might look if various design options are taken. That process of experimentation is key in the earliest stages of design as a new gym takes shape, and it will also be instrumental in how the gym looks in the future.
Adoption of Automation to Reduce Time Spent on Design Tasks and Reduce Errors
Visobath is dedicated to the manufacture and marketing of bathroom furniture, thanks to effort and innovation, has become a benchmark in the furniture industry. Since its inception in Visobath, they have worked to offer the best solutions for the bathroom of their customers with innovative and quality products and good service and customer support. In Visohome Group, a business group to which Visobath belongs, Covid-19 has significantly impacted working. They decided to review all jobs, establish protocols to guarantee the safety of their workers and, fundamentally, promote the use of telematics tools. The biggest challenge they have faced at the organizational level has been the adaptation to remote teamwork, so they have implemented tools so that the computer can stay connected.
