Success Story

K/M2K Saves 2 Hours of Work per Design Review through Better Remote Teamwork with Autodesk BIM360

K/M2K Saves 2 Hours of Work per Design Review through Better Remote Teamwork with Autodesk BIM360

Customer challenge

During the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020, K/M2K Architecture and Interior Design found themselves struggling to navigate remote working during a national lockdown. Traditional methods of file sharing were found inefficient and lacking for a team that needed to communicate a lot of information at a high frequency.

Project goals

K/M2K Architecture and Interior Design needed their design team to work more efficiently as a remote team with as little as possible disruption of their production. Design changes would need to be communicated and resolved in a shorter period of time.

Solution

Our team at Modena helped K/M2K Architecture and Interior Design who have been loyal subscribers to the Autodesk AEC Collection (20 seats) for 3 years now to realize the advantages of using BIM authoring tools such as Autodesk Revit to improve communication between the design and project management teams. Autodesk BIM360 Design (20 seats) was implemented for their design team while Autodesk BIM360 Docs (2 seats) were implemented for their managment team.

Business outcome

The teams transitioned easily to Autodesk BIM 360 Design’s Collaboration for Autodesk Revit and found themselves working from home in a similar way they did at the office (on a local network). Managers could now mark-up drawings on a web or mobile platform, without needing to open large models on their desktops. The estimated time saved per design review is about 2 hours compared to before.

Conclusion

Autodesk's solutions allow for communication between management and the design team on one centralized platform, allowing for: 1. Ease of use: Minimal disruption to the production schedule 2. Transparency: Management can verify changes in model updates and do design reviews 3. Efficiency: Model updates and syncing with the cloud allows for a very effective turn-around. Only changes are synced, making for a much faster solution than a VPN connection where entire files have to be overridden

From 2D AutoCAD to Intelligent iLogic-driven 3D Inventor Designs

Palian was using 2D AutoCAD in a primarily 3D dominated field, struggling with collaboration between branches and the length of time it would take to make relatively small changes to designs. Getting drawings and quantities to the sales team for quotation purposes took longer than desired and a lot of manual user calculations and input was still needed, which increased the change of costly "human error" mistakes.

DRA Global takes on Project Delays with Innovative use of Technology

DRA Global had to overcome a delay of 25 days over deadline for their Sierra Leone Project, so they needed to find a way to get that time back to avoid running over with this project. The impact of this was on their future expansion projects within the same mine, in Sierra Leone, which would be double the size of the original project.
