Success Story
Implementing a New Platform for Construction
Customer challenge
Eckardt Group was founded in 1936 and has been recognized as one of the top electrical contractors in Georgia for the past 80 years. The main challenge EG faced was integrating all data from the BIM side into Autodesk Build and learning how to use Build as their new construction software. They also needed a way to ensure their teams were staying up to date with new features and using the technology to its full capacity.
Project goals
The following priority project goals were identified: 1) Integrate all data from the BIM side. 2) Find a comprehensive solution that connects all data. 3) Leverage and take data to the field.
Solution
Eckardt Group meets frequently with Autodesk and ATG to continue implementing the platform. Ashley Williams, Operations Coordinator at EG, handles the implementation process: “Now that I’m in this role, I’ve been able to get a better understanding of how it works and what Eckardt needs. I’ve focused on cleaning up things that are already in place, introducing the team to features as I learn about them and running the system.” Ashley is new to her role and the construction industry, but has prior experience in field services, operations and support.
Business outcome
Eckardt Group is currently utilizing Autodesk Build to support the field, house projects and track progress, make schedules, control documents and more. “We definitely like a lot of the features that come with Build, especially how you can separate documents from the field and office and view on your phone, website or tablet,” said Ashley. While Eckardt is currently using only Autodesk Build, they plan to begin implementing Autodesk Takeoff in February 2022 for pre-construction design and planning.
Conclusion
“Autodesk Build is a versatile tool - everything from support to tracking costs - and there are a ton of different ways you can use it, which is what I like. The people we have out in the field have enjoyed using it to access information in real time and we are excited about all the additional features that we are continuing to learn about and add to our setup. I would definitely recommend it to those out in the field and construction industry,” said Ashley.

Connecting VC, Fabrication & Construction Workflows
NOX Innovations is dedicated to helping contractors scale, adapt and maintain their agility in an ever-changing market. Due to company growth, Corbins Electric, the sister company of NOX Innovations, needed a way to bridge gaps and inefficiencies and tie their VC, fabrication and construction workflows together. They were using their own project management software, but it didn’t connect to the cloud and their virtual construction workflows. “We had our own internal project management software that we developed over the years, but it didn’t connect to BIM 360 Docs, model coordination and all the other things we use for the VC side of things,” said Tony Anderson, VC Innovations Specialist. Tony has been with Corbins Electric for 25 years and has worked in the virtual construction department for 10 years.
Helping a Small Firm Stay Ahead of Deadlines
Moyer Design + Build is a small firm that designs and builds custom residential homes from start to finish. Due to team capacity and workload, it was difficult to keep up with technical work. Moyer Design reached out to ATG for production services assistance. “ATG helped facilitate the process and push into construction documents to get a lot of the bulk work done that we didn’t have time for,” said Jeb Moyer, Owner of Moyer Design.
