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

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

Customer challenge

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.

Project goals

The Project Team wanted to shift the perceptions of how multi-team projects are managed, with a more coordinated and seamless communication between the multiple different facets of the project. Being able to use the models to schedule and coordinate required that we had only one place to find information, instead of having multiple sources.

Solution

Through Revit and Server Based work-sharing, we were able to create one set of key assets, annotations and documentation methods that allowed us to share between the different teams. As each of the stages had different project timelines meant we could also move people between teams easily to help support each other at different points. Utilising some of the extra add-ons to Revit (e.g. Dynamo), we were also to streamline a lot of processes through automation, helping to improve efficiencies.

Business outcome

This project was designed as a joint venture collaboration with Hayball Architects Melbourne. Between Brown Falconer and Hayball we had 3 teams in 2 different states and we realised that a traditional method of coordinating would need to be re-evaluated and to embrace BIM to go beyond a traditional 2D based approach.

Conclusion

Autodesk solutions helped us design, coordinate and work as a team; allowing the Project Team to work better, more efficient and streamlined which ultimately led to better designs.

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.
