Success Story

Revit Skills and Corporate BIM Template Development

Revit Skills and Corporate BIM Template Development

Customer challenge

MTE Consultants did not have a unified BIM plan and/or approach across the organization. MTE offices operate independently of each other due to different project types at each office. Only one office had BIM experience, the other offices were lacking this knowledge. As the industry is transitioning to BIM, MTE felt the urgency to get BIM ready and capable to maintain competitiveness and service their clientele better.

Project goals

MTE’s BIM Objectives were to: 1) Ensure that their staff was proficient with Revit software in order to become BIM ready and capable. 2) Maintain drawing standards and consistency across all their offices. 3) Leverage BIM to collaborate with clients that use both AutoCAD and Revit. 4) Leverage existing AutoCAD standard library details and identify work around where Revit did not provide the same ease of use as AutoCAD.

Solution

Redcage, a client-centric Autodesk Authorized Reseller, provided: 1) Expert Specialist with building industry backgrounds and experience. 2) On-site consultation with all offices to define and develop Revit Structure templates. 3) On-site training for different MTE offices with customized curriculum for each. 4) Education for non-CAD staff on how to leverage Revit for engineering design / construction administration. 5) On-going remote support via web-based screen sharing technology.

Business outcome

MTE now have shared Revit Template files with other offices. MTE has gained increased BIM confidence with Revit. They are now hiring college graduates with Revit knowledge, which contributes to a feeling of support for all staff. Management now has a basic understanding of Revit and how BIM can be leveraged. BIM projects are progressing just as quickly, if not quicker than traditional CAD projects and new Quality Assurance benefits have been identified with Revit that don't exist with AutoCAD.

Conclusion

Thanks to the in-depth training and software expertise provided by Redcage Solutions, MTE has transitioned into being BIM ready and capable in all of its offices. We would recommend their professional services to other similar consultant firms in the construction industry.
