HED Group Enhances Efficiency & Collaboration Creating MEP Projects with Autodesk Revit

HED Group Enhances Efficiency & Collaboration Creating MEP Projects with Autodesk Revit

Customer challenge

HED Group (Haneseth Engineering Design Group) is a professional engineering and consulting company with managers who have more than 15 years’ experience in MEP and sprinkler system design, control, installation, maintenance, and overview. Based in Vilnius, Lithuania, the company predominantly operates in Scandinavian markets, namely Norway and Sweden. HED Group is one of 26 companies in the Haneseth Group corporation, a leading total technical conglomerate in Northern Norway that operates a wide range of design and installation companies. “Since the HED Group in Lithuania must work as a team with companies in other countries, it needs software that ensures efficiency and collaboration in design work. In addition, when working in the Nordic region, the company is required to prepare BIM projects,” says Jelena Grušnienė, CEO of the company. According to clients and the BIM manual, all disciplines (architecture, structure, and MEP) have to work in synchronization.

Project goals

HED Group creates sanitary, sprinkler, heating, ventilation and electrical systems for schools, multistorey apartment buildings, and supermarkets. Autodesk MEP project development often has tight deadlines, so there is a need to work quickly. The company's engineers also needed to choose Autodesk BIM software that would allow them to react quickly to changes in other disciplines' projects, thus ensuring not only high work speed but also project data accuracy.

Solution

In reviewing available Autodesk BIM platforms, HED Group quickly chose Autodesk Revit as the one best-suited for work with MEP projects. The company acquired Autodesk Revit from CAD360 Group along with implementation services. Before deciding which BIM software to choose, the company manager tried Bentley and DDS-CAD but did not like the complexity of these software. Ultimately, Autodesk Revit was chosen because it is well suited to design the MEP systems the company creates. "The advantage of Autodesk Revit is that it is a platform that combines projects from different disciplines so that they can be worked on simultaneously. Being able to work on a common platform provides speed, convenience and decrease the possibility of mistakes and collisions," says Grušnienė.

Business outcome

Even with teams from different disciplines working thousands of kilometers apart, design and teamwork are seamless and fast with Revit. For example, on the Fauske school renovation project, HED Group was responsible for designing the electrical and HVAC components. Even though the engineers were far removed from the rest of the project team, the design coordination took only a month. Autodesk BIM adoption using Autodesk Revit gives HED Group quality and efficiency gains: “BIM and 3D tools let you see exactly what a building and its components will look like, so you make better decisions,” the company’s CEO notes. "We decided to buy Autodesk Revit from CAD360 Group because they are a reliable provider of software, helping us with all aspects of software installation, documentation and quickly respond to maintenance issues or questions. Our priority is to concentrate on the design activities and let the competent companies take care of the other issues," Grušnienė explains.

Conclusion

Autodesk Revit is the perfect working tool to meet the needs of the company’s engineers. It helps designers use their years of experience to the maximum. Autodesk Revit helps to avoid mistakes, provides flexibility in the design of MEP systems, and offers a much higher speed and quality of work than AutoCAD, which the company's employees used for projects earlier in their careers.

Eesti Energia Chooses CAD360 Group for Managing Corporate Licenses

Eesti Energia AS is a public limited energy company headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. As the world's biggest “oil shale to energy” company, it has several subsidiary companies operating in energy production, distribution, and sales, each of which uses a lot of software licenses, over 100 Autodesk product seats among them. Lately the shift to green energy has necessitated a lot of changes in their operations. For the best cooperation between designers in these companies, Eesti Energia AS decided to handle purchasing, distribution, and managing of software licenses at the main company. This, however, did not match with Autodesk licensing policy.
