Driving Success with Autodesk BIM Authoring Technologies

Driving Success with Autodesk BIM Authoring Technologies

Customer challenge

Digital Design & Consultancy core business challenges revolve around the need to have the latest, most innovative technology at their fingertips to ensure their business has the advantage in a continuously evolving industry and increasingly competitive market.

Project goals

Digital Design & Consultancy have been set up to provide design and consultancy recourse to construction companies. Over the last couple of years, the construction industry has seen major changes caused by a digital revolution. These changes make it difficult for many companies to continue their normal working procedures making them redundant if they cannot bridge the required gap. Digital Design aims to provide a seamless transitional plan for these companies to increase their knowledge and change the way they work day-to-day. Digital Design plans to further establish its business as the leading provider throughout Ireland, delivering a range of Building Information Modelling Services for a vast number of applications, specialising in utilising Autodesk technologies, and partnering with Pentagon Solutions to maximise its software investment.

Solution

Digital Design & Consultancy have expanded their portfolio to include BIM Collaborate Pro (part of Autodesk’s Construction Cloud solution), giving the team and their clients the flexibility to collaborate live in the cloud across projects from any location whilst working within a CDE (Autodesk Docs), ultimately reducing rework, and saving time. Combining Autodesk Docs with products within the Autodesk AEC Collection enables the company to work more proficiently through Revit Cloud Work-Sharing, ensuring all members of the project are working on the correct version with accurate data. Digital Design therefore can offer an array of advanced modelling services including MEP design, fire sprinkler design, clash detection and modelling on BIM projects. Through the use of Navisworks Manage, clash detection identifies issues at the design stage and produces a coordinated model before construction, massively reducing the client’s re-work costs.

Business outcome

The abundance of tools available within the AEC Collection primarily Revit, Navisworks, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Autodesk Docs, and the Autodesk Construction Cloud Platform has helped drive business for Digital Design & Consultancy and placed the company comfortably at the forefront of the industry. Pentagon’s ongoing service and support have proven to be the perfect partner to Digital Design through supplying and managing their Autodesk Technologies whilst providing additional support when required. Adopting Autodesk BIM Authoring Technologies has acted as a catalyst to enhance the range of services Digital Design & Consultancy offers - everything from 3D modelling to BIM Consultancy with a diverse growing client base. They have secured their prominent position in their field by being early adopters of the latest cloud technologies alongside maintaining their trusted AEC Collection subscriptions are up-to-date and fully utilised.

Conclusion

Digital Design hopes to continue its partnership with Pentagon Solutions to ensure they are always staying ahead of the industry curve through the constant adoption of the most innovative Autodesk technologies.

Developing Successful Products and Delivery of Complex Engineering Projects

Project Engineering was challenged by a Client to design a Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) for a large earth-moving machine (approximate mass 60,000kg). The ROPS needed to be tested in accordance with ISO 3471:2008 for energy absorption. We needed software capable of simulating stress and displacement beyond the yield point of the material into the non-linear region and finding the resultant energy absorption of the structure before physically testing the structure for verification.

Alplan Design & Planning Takes Drawing to a New Dimension

Alplan’s core business challenges revolve around the need to remain incredibly agile while also offering its clients – many of whom represent one-off projects – with a clear picture of what’s possible. When budgetary restrictions are tight, minimising rework is always important, but making changes that won’t later affect planning permission approval is paramount. “When making minor changes, you often have to change a lot in order for the planning application to not be rejected,” Edmund explains. Making such amends costs time and, in a recent period of booming business, any unnecessary time spent is potentially business lost: “I've only had six days off work in 2021,” he adds, explaining that Autodesk Revit’s competitive edge has led to a boom in business. “I’m of an age where I started on a drawing board with paper and ink,” says Edmund Mansworth of Alplan Design & Planning, discussing his company’s transformative move to Autodesk Revit.
