Sanken Overseas: BIM is Small Enough to Listen, Big Enough to Deliver

Sanken Overseas: BIM is Small Enough to Listen, Big Enough to Deliver

Customer challenge

Sanken Overseas faced challenges during the last few years which related to information centralization and updating project information in real-time. Sanken management identified embracing the latest technology as the only option to overcome many of their future challenges and to gain a competitive edge in the industry of Design & Build. Digital technologies can enable better collaboration, greater control of the value chain and a shift towards more data-driven decision making. Applying new trends can positively change the company’s operations including design and construction processes, and result in a better understanding and engagement between the internal and external stakeholders.

Project goals

In search of the best possible options to scale up their business operations, Sanken Management recognized that adopting Autodesk BIM solutions would make a positive impact to their desired business outcomes. During the pre-evaluation of software solutions, the Sanken Overseas senior team members identified that the use of Autodesk BIM solutions would reduce the overall design time, enable an earlier start of construction work and help to achieve more benefits through automated workflows, better collaboration with stakeholders and a better project hand over experience to the clients. Also, this project led to the ultimate objective of Sanken Overseas to win more "happy clients" who are trusted with the job they do.

Solution

Sanken Overseas is a multi-purpose Civil Engineering and Building Architectural firm having utilized AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT for many years. The Firm wanted to use a BIM solution from Autodesk. In addition, some of their global competitors were already using Autodesk Revit software. Sanken Overseas had few Revit experienced users to help them move from traditional drafting technology to a Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to win a competitive advantage in the growing market. The migration to Revit was not a decision made lightly, as Sanken Overseas had years of experience and success using AutoCAD. Any new design platforms had to meet or exceed its existing design processes. In addition, the Revit Platform had to accommodate various disciplines and processes which had been implemented by Sanken Overseas.

Business outcome

Sanken Overseas reported revenue growth and they won many overseas projects after a successful transition to BIM using Autodesk Solutions.

Conclusion

Sanken Overseas realized that Project Owners increasingly demand BIM Implementation for their projects. Sanken Management also realized that project delivery was accelerated and significantly more accurate when using BIM technology enabled by Autodesk Solutions.

SWA, BIM is Bridging the Gap between Modeling and Detailing

Architects and Engineers of the projects working in a team on a common design task need to be supported by new advanced collaborative environments that extend functionality of traditional CAD systems by supporting secure communication, collaboration, coordination, as well as sharing of design data. The challenges in the area of collaborative design in project team networks among others concern: Connected different stakeholders from different geographical locations into one central platform. Ability for each enterprise in the design chain to have their own design knowledge and product design processes and use their own software and services. Transitions in the design workflow must bridge the gaps between heterogeneous knowledge, processes, systems, services and ways of working. Change management across the entire design workflow requires many changes and support for iterative adjustments. Collaborative product, process and service engineering must thus be managed across the project.
