Success Story

Wellington College Memorial Hall

Wellington College Memorial Hall

Customer challenge

The Wellington College Memorial Hall project created significant design challenges for the structural design team at Clendon Burns & Park due to the project’s complex structural and seismic standards requirements. Using Autodesk solutions Clendon Burns and Park needed to collaborate with the other consultants Autodesk Revit models.

Project goals

Implement Autodesk software solutions using the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) suite of Autodesk products which will allow Clendon Burns & Park to explore multiple structural design and steel connection options for the project, while complying with the project timeline and budget.

Solution

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) suite of Autodesk products were the solution used by Clendon Burns & Park to meet the requirement for this project. Autodesk Revit Structure for the 3D modelling and design, Autodesk Steel Connections for creation and placement of steel connections in the Autodesk Revit model, Autodesk Advance Steel for complex structure connectors & details, and Autodesk AutoCAD for 2D detailing and cleaning up contractor’s files that were linked back into the BIM model for checking. The Clendon Burns & Park team also utilized the bidirectional workflow of data between Autodesk Revit Structure and Advance Steel to streamline the technical process, improving efficiency.

Business outcome

Clendon Burns & Park director Anthony Forlong said “The ability of Autodesk Revit Structure to coordinate the reinforcing with structural steel components has enabled us to check for build ability in a 3D environment. The Autodesk 3D tools also enabled us to test design ideas prior to detailed design. These tools have saved Clendon Burns & Park many man hours. “

Conclusion

The implementation of Autodesk Revit Structure, Autodesk Steel Connection, Autodesk Advance Steel and Autodesk AutoCAD, along with the integration of their inhouse developed Autodesk Revit Dynamo scripts has provided Clendon Burns & Park with an array of advanced toolsets. The Wellington College Memorial Hall project was awarded the winner of the $500k - $1.5m category at Steel Construction New Zealand 2019.

Cuba Precinct Redevelopment

Like many New Zealand companies, Covid19 lockdowns in 2020 provided many challenges for Athfield Architects. With the assistance of Graphic Dimensions, preplanning for major events by their IT staff and Autodesk solutions, Athfield Architects’ design teams were able to seamlessly work remotely across their three offices.

a.k.a Architecture Ltd is an architectural practise based in Wellington New Zealand specialising in residential and small commercial projects. a.k.a Architecture Ltd has a particular interest in buildings that employ a strong sense of materiality, simple but clever composition of form, and a controlled use of light to redefine spaces.a.k.a Architecture Ltd historically used Bentley Systems MicroStation throughout the practise and then transitioned to Autodesk Revit LT as the first step into BIM capable software several years ago. As the practise has now expanded, they have identified some of the Autodesk Revit LT limitations such as standalone only models preventing model collaboration, no Autodesk Revit API functionality preventing the use of add-ins, and no in place family option.a.k.a Architecture Ltd now requires the ability for their users to collaborate on larger projects and recognise that they need to provide more high quality rendering to their clients with virtual reality.a.k.a Architecture Ltd approached Graphic Dimensions Limited as their Autodesk Reseller for a solution to these issues.
