Success Story

COSTCO – New Zealand’s Largest Bulk Retail Facility

COSTCO – New Zealand’s Largest Bulk Retail Facility

Customer challenge

MSC was tasked with the design and construction of a large and complex structure - New Zealand’s largest bulk retail site, a multi-level facility built over unstable ground. Site characteristics include a car park level and fuel station on-site. The structure includes three levels – 1 car park level and 2 shopping levels approximately 40,000 sq/m.

Project goals

The primary project goal was to complete this large project on-time and fully coordinated at the Design phase before beginning the Construction phase.

Solution

Autodesk provided BIM 360 software technology, a unified platform connecting project teams and data in real-time, from design through construction. Additional solutions included Autodesk Revit 2020, a multidisciplinary BIM software for higher-quality and coordinated designs and Autodesk Civil 3D, a civil engineering design and documentation software that supports BIM workflows by extending the value of the model.

Business outcome

MSC were able to complete this large and complex structure with a relatively small team of two (2) Engineers and one (1) to two (2) Structural Revit Technicians as nearing deliverables demanded.

Conclusion

Autodesk Revit 2020 is the ideal 3D parametric modelling tool to facilitate cross discipline coordination on the BIM 360 platform to provide real-time cloud-based communication and cloud-based coordination among global project teams.

Designing Functional Industrial and Commercial Products with Accuracy using Autodesk Inventor

The initial challenge is to design with accuracy using Autodesk Inventor while being fully functional. Design for manufacture and testability are crucial aspects of the design process - while most understand design for manufacturing, many overlook the need of design for testability. Design for testability means that the designer knows how to test that a product is optimally functional - to be able to prove through testing, during the manufacture and assembly process, that every component is maximally effective and fully complies with the specifications. Design for testability and strict quality control are a standard part of ARIDs design process, ensuring that each unit produced is of the highest standard.

How Revit Streamlined the Workflow for the Westminster School Learning Hubs Multistage Project

Working with the Westminster School’s approach to teaching and learning, the shape, layout and relationships between spaces became more complex when compared to the traditional design of learning spaces. This meant that coordination within the Design Team was important and being able to explore and refine ideas through a 3D medium meant we could be assured that our outcomes would be cohesive for the interior and exterior of the building and aligned with the school’s pedagogical practices.
