Success Story

Smoother Design for Platinan with BIM Collaborate Pro

Smoother Design for Platinan with BIM Collaborate Pro

Customer challenge

When Lilla Bommen in Gothenburg gets a new landmark, the project uses a cloud solution where the architects and designers use Autodesk products, Revit and BIM Collaborate Pro to facilitate the flow of information in a really good way. A challenge for the project is the large flow of information and that more meetings are required than usual. An important part of the work is that all collisions are detected already during the design. There will be a lot of meetings and more review meetings than in smaller projects. When we started, we had meetings in place, but today we have completely switched to digital meetings. The challenge will be to handle the information flow so that all adaptations end up in the drawings of the 300 people who are out on the construction site. Of course, we want to avoid collisions being discovered only when it's time to build. Here we get help from the system to find collisions already at the planning stage so that the parties ininvolved can adjust directly.

Project goals

T + E Architects usually work in Autodesk's solution Revit, a module for the project's entire lifecycle, from conceptual design to visualization, analysis, fabrication and construction. In the Platinum project, the client Vasakronan has clear requirements for the design and the project. One of the requirements is to use Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro.

Solution

The mix of tenants places high demands on the project. In order to be able to adapt the premises to each tenant, the main contractor Peab has chosen to hire the Gothenburg-based architectural firm T + E Arkitekter, in order to refine these into construction documents based on the documents from the interior designer. T + E Arkitekter helps PEAB with the construction design for the tenant adaptations and helps the tenants with everything from producing floor plans and construction documents to information material for the construction project's drawings.

Business outcome

Accessibility helps the flow of information. This benefit is a clear advantage of the working method, accessibility and the opportunity to work from different locations. It will be easier for all parties involved to reach the models when they are in a cloud-based solution such as BIM Collaborate Pro. We do not need to invite other parties and share the models from our servers. In this case, it is also an advantage when we are two architectural firms that have been involved. We do not become addicted to sitting in the same place. With BIM Collaborate Pro, all designers have access to the latest models and can create drawings based on them. It becomes effective when everyone can go in and see what the constructions look like with different colors. At the same time, it is important to have a good dialogue because the models are only a basis for the projectors' drawings, because those are the documents that you build on.

Conclusion

Having experience of working in Revit and BIM Collaborate Pro makes T + E Architects more sought after in the market as it becomes increasingly common for the customer to set the requirements for how the design should be based on the structures in their management system. Before, we controlled the arrangement ourselves in a completely different way than we do today. In this project, it was a requirement from Vasakronan to use a cloud solution such as BIM Collaborate Pro to handle all construction documents and documentation. "I would say that it is becoming increasingly common for such demands to be made. The client wants the project to have a structure that is adapted to the management structure to facilitate the transition between project and management. I absolutely believe we become more sought after when we have this experience." - T + E Arkitekter

In recent years, Bjerking has had all his projects, and thus all documents, in the regular Windows Explorer. During the current pandemic, the need for a system solution has increased. With the pandemic, our way of working has changed. Most of us nowadays work remotely from home, which places demands on the way we handle our files and how we work with them. At that point, we have to work via a VPN tunnel and it has made it more vulnerable because VPN does not always work.
