Success Story
Franklin Ellis Architects is an architectural firm specializing in interior design for the commercial and hospitality industries. Located in the East Midlands area, Franklin Ellis has expanded to work with clients from all over the United Kingdom on a range of services including visualisation and master planning. Despite onboarding Revit and BIM methodologies in 2013, and implementing them office-wide in 2015, Franklin Ellis sought to cement their qualifications as an ISO 19650 BIM Certified.
Pursuing ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management, this set of accolades will recognize the long-term dedication toward client satisfaction in a digitally connected and sustainable world. The certification will also help distinguish Franklin Ellis as a firm of choice for owners seeking an innovative partner for projects of all sizes and disciplines.
Microdesk engaged with Franklin Ellis to assist with preparations for the BIM certification as well as project support on a large masterplan project. Beginning with a gap analysis and skills assessment, Microdesk worked closely with Franklin Ellis to develop BIM project standards that would offer clients the latest in BIM workflows and meet the ISO Certification requirements. A 14-week training programme was conducted to reinforce and consolidate the knowledge base for popular Autodesk products.
The partnership between Franklin Ellis and Microdesk will continue as the firm pursues their certifications and further integrates Autodesk BIM 360 solutions into their BIM project lifecycle.
Looking ahead, Franklin Ellis plans to move all physical machines to the cloud in the form of a virtual desktop infrastructure. This transition will allow the firm’s employees to maximise the benefits of a hybrid workplace, connecting and collaborating in their offices and across the internet, and promoting better balance between professional and personal life. Removing regional restrictions will also expand hiring opportunities so Franklin Ellis can seek out the best talent in the industry.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) needed to address the imbalance of skill sets within their modelling department without losing the investment in and the experience of the core team. The programme cycle and growth chart indicated that they had the right number of heads to sustain the projected workload but in the wrong disciplines. As the studio is becoming increasingly digital, the resource numbers needed to increase in the CAS team.
Symetri Leverages Accelerator Material for McLaren Resulting in Productivity Boost on Conceptual Design and Improved Cross Department Communications
Using the Alias Subdivision (Sub-D) Modeling Accelerator’s discovery session and engagement approach, Symetri was able to uncover that McLaren had critical challenges they needed to address: • As a result of the Pandemic, McLaren needed to figure out how to do more with their Alias Software with less people in the studio. • They wanted to become more productive leveraging the tools and processes already established in the studio. • Raise core competencies of the team and boost awareness of Alias full set of capabilities – including Subdivisional modeling • Better appreciation of the various modeling paradigms – how they work, what they do, and where they could fit into McLaren’s workflow • Increase prototyping output • Reduce time in the design phase
