BIM 360 Design for At Home Use During Covid-19 Pandemic

BIM 360 Design for At Home Use During Covid-19 Pandemic

Customer challenge

As things changed in our environments with Covid-19, Elliott Workgroup had a need to work from home. After a few weeks of remote access not working great, they remembered that we had discussions of the BIM 360 Platform in the past. Although they did not take advantage of it at the time, now would be the perfect time for them. Steven Bruemmer, Principal AIA at Elliott Workgroup, stated that he wished they had done it sooner.

Project goals

Elliott Workgroup needed a solution quickly to get everyone to work from home. They started the trial version that Autodesk provided in April, and used it into the extended trial. They saw the outcomes they desired and decided they would like to move the trial site to a paid site. They saw improvements in productivity internally and now are looking to work with others externally. This process has turned into them looking at other BIM 360 Solutions for additional in-site into Project Management.

Solution

We helped them understand and see the benefits of what the BIM 360 Platform can provide. It was like working in the office on a local server but at many different locations in the cloud. We helped with the implementation of the trial version that Autodesk extended to all users.

Business outcome

They were able to see instant results. "We are very happy with the BIM 360 extended access program that allowed us to get up and running with BIM 360 Design. Our conversion to a paid program was easy. I think that we had a small advantage in reviewing BIM 360 once in the past… but this was a very easy transition for us. As we are now 4 months in and continue to work remotely… BIM 360 Design has been a great asset for our firm", said Steven Bruemmer.

Conclusion

Having an excellent relationship with Elliott Workgroup and being a trusted advisor, they were convinced that we could help them find a solution to their problem. By talking to them in the past about the product and continuing to have this conservation knowing that it was a good fit for them, it was easy for them to make that decision. Now they are turning to additional BIM 360 Tools like Build to add to the portfolio of tools they use.

Changeover to a Single Software Platform

During the Business Process Assessment (BPA), we found that Hunt Electric had been struggling with multiple platforms to get their jobs completed. With many hours lost from rework and lost data going from multiple platforms to the other, they were looking for a solution to bring everyone on the design side to one design software platform.

CEMCON, Ltd. - Success in Moving Forward

CEMCON, Ltd., incorporated in 1972, is a civil engineering consulting firm specializing in the planning, civil design, surveying, permitting and construction of private and public infrastructure and transportation systems. Our business model and focus on client service affords an efficient and integrated team approach that creates value at each project phase and has earned us the trust and confidence of developers, governmental agencies, and design/build clients.The big problem CEMCON faced was using legacy software and the learning curve that users would have to go through in order to upgrade to Autodesk Civil 3D. Rollout timing had to be multi-phase to ensure that production on projects continued to get out the door at the pace their customers come to expect. A well thought out implementation/training plan was created and ultimately allowed CEMCON to succeed in this transition.
