Reshaping Construction Planning for Wallfort Group

Wallfort Group is one of central India's most admired real estate brands, operating in five important industries: real estate, jewelry, ferroalloys, financial services, and wealth management.The brand name of Wallfort is synonymous with quality, delivery, and transparency. With ground-breaking initiatives like Wallfort City, Wallfort Enclave I, and Wallfort Orchid, to name a few, Wallfort identifies and addresses the genuine needs of homeowners and occupants in today’s age.Wallfort is now working on 35+ projects across Raipur and is a one-stop shop for all needs and budgets. As part of their new programme, they offer building services to clients who want to develop homes according to their unique needs, with the promise of affordable yet superior quality of service compared to other independent contractors.Due to widespread reliance on 2D drawings and limited coordination among stakeholders earlier, Wallfort Group often faced challenges in pre-construction design and planning. Not being able to test the complete application in the initial stages led to gaps in understanding the project and problems in regression testing. It was also tough for different teams to understand and converge on the company processes.This affected the Wallfort Group’s relationship with developers since testing was always under severe time constraints. These challenges led to high attrition rates and delays in planning, implementing, and completing projects.To solve these challenges, Wallfort resorted to the support of 5D VDC Services LLP, who used BIM tools enabled by the Autodesk Construction Cloud & Autodesk Assemble System to facilitate project delivery from early-stage design to construction implementation.With substantial VDC and BIM experience, the digital-first construction consultants successfully delivered on the promise of virtual design and construction throughout the construction life cycle and emerged as industry disruptors.

Construction Planning and Design with Rajat Buildtech

Rajat Buildtech, established in 2005, is a construction company and a part of the Rajat Group of Companies, which has been catering to various industries since 1975 in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. To achieve its vision of creating significant landmarks and contributing towards urban infrastructure development in the newly formed state, Rajat Buildtech used to employ separate teams for designing, planning, and budgeting. Besides, most of their construction processes were manual and paper based. The teams working on the project would design traditionally through 2D drawings. This often resulted in multiple errors and improper collaboration between various design teams, which would often creep into the next stage without being noticeable right towards the end, resulting in multiple redesigns, adding to the costs and timelines. Moreover, due to the mostly manual processes, the team at Rajat Buildtech could see only one drawing at a time, which would demand a longer timeframe for preconstruction planning. The team would often need to go the site to manually monitor each stage of the preconstruction work. On the budgeting front, manual take offs were used to calculate estimates of the construction budgets at various stages. To solve these challenges, 5D VDC Services LLP used Autodesk BIM 360 and ASSEMBLE software modules enabled by Autodesk to facilitate project delivery for the Rajat Buildtech Group to solve the challenge of manual preconstruction planning and design. 5D VDC Services, a services and software training partner with Autodesk India, is a digital-first construction consultancy that aims at delivering the promise of Virtual Design and Construction across all stages of construction life cycle. The team has emerged as industry disruptors, innovators, thought leaders, and technology evangelists, harnessing the full potential of BIM across the construction spectrum.

Construction Implementation with ITC Group

ITC Group, one of the largest Indian corporate groups, recently came up with the idea of establishing a mixed-use project with IT and corporate offices, hotel, convention center, as well as residential towers in Rajarhat, an upcoming suburb of Kolkata. This upcoming ITC Campus was envisioned as a physical manifestation of the city’s rich artisanal culture and ethos.Due to the reliance on 2D design and pre-construction drawings on Autodesk AutoCAD alone, the ITC Group was facing myriad challenges in realizing the project. One, it was taking too long to design on 2D, especially when it came to incorporating changes at various stages resulting in almost completely reinventing the design wheel. Two, there was evident lack of visualization of the final design output as it would stand after construction. Three, several details were being missed out in pre-construction drawings that needed to be taken care of during the construction phase, leading to incredible loss in time, costs, and productivity, multiple complications, and miscommunications between consultants. To solve these challenges, 5D VDC Services LLP used BIM tools enabled by the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction collection of Autodesk to facilitate project delivery for the ITC Group right from early-stage design through to construction implementation. Initially, 5D VDC was appointed specifically for landscape development modeling for the project. Soon after, the immense potential of their advanced modeling services using BIM was realized, and they were roped in for handling pre-construction design and planning of the entire project.With more than three decades of experience, the digital-first construction consultancy aims at delivering the promise of Virtual Design and Construction across all stages of construction life cycle. The 5D VDC Services LLP team has emerged as industry disruptors, innovators, thought leaders, and technology evangelists, harnessing the full potential of BIM across the construction spectrum.
