The Adoption of New Autodesk Tools and the BIM Methodology to Face the International Market Reinforced Konceptness' Know-How and Created Opportunities in the area of ​​Specialized Training

Customer challenge

Konceptness is a company with 11 years in the market that operates in the area of urban design and licensing, always focusing on the client's goals and the impact that each project can have on society. The company provides several services in the areas of real estate, environment, architecture, fire safety, inspection, engineering, project management, licensing, BIM, training and applications for projects of Potential National Interest (PIN), among others. Konceptness differentiates itself in the market by its ability to guarantee a complete service in all areas of a project - licensing, execution and monitoring - also supporting clients in evaluating the sustainability of each work, so that they can project it into future investments. In order to achieve its national and international growth plan, Konceptness realized that it would have to change its work process regarding communications between all those involved in a project making it more agile and fast.

Project goals

For that, it should bet on a tool that would guarantee the process of [A-Z], continuous, collaborative and ascending, with an effective management and control of costs and time. Autodesk BIM solutions and methodologies emerged as the natural response to this need to position itself competitively in the global market. With most Portuguese companies in the AEC sector far from BIM and the processes and technologies associated with the so-called Industry 4.0, Konceptness became aware that the Portuguese market also lacked critical mass to invest in this technology. The challenge was also to bring the sector itself to BIM, encouraging adherence by other Portuguese companies in the sector. Thus, in addition to the process of adopting the technology necessary for the implementation of BIM, the company developed in 2020 a training project in this methodology which, in addition to other companies, had a technological partnership with Claranet.

Solution

Konceptness chose the Autodesk BIM 360 solution counting on Claranet's know-how on implementation and adoption. Susan Cabeceiras, Founder & CEO of Konceptness, justified Claranet's choice for its "business vision of the time and investments required for the BIM implementation in a company and analysis of processes, in search of the best solution for now and for the future." After choosing the partner and defining the project, Konceptness started the internal BIM learning process, defining a two-year "roadmap" until implementation of this Methodology in all projects - from the design to on-site monitoring. The first step went through the standardization of all processes and the entire work methodology involved, as well as standardization of the expected output for each contracted service. A team was created for this process to ensure implementation from a strategic point of view integrating the Executive Board, Production Management and engineering and architecture professionals.

Business outcome

The collaborative and effective process, with identification from the beginning of all involved and a substantially reduced probability of errors are other practical advantages advanced by Konceptness, in a range that also includes a reduction in the lifecycle cost of a project by 15%, as well as a 30% less impact on construction time. The success of the solution adopted by Konceptness ended up going beyond the creation of new work methodologies and tools to reinforce the company's competitiveness at a global level. The training needs initially identified gave rise to a broader process of specialization in the Autodesk BIM 360 solution, whose success dictated its continuity throughout 2021, with a closed training schedule and the entry of new partners who will enrich the Training Plan.

Conclusion

Susan Cabeceiras, Founder & CEO of Konceptness, begins by highlighting Claranet's role in terms of the capacity and speed with which it introduced and framed all the processes in the company, which allowed it to adapt and train the team with new skills to respond quickly to it´s customers. In terms of operational gains, this person in charge highlights the possibility of having the client, the builder and the designers in any part of the world monitor the project and be part of its development, as one of the essential transformations obtained with this solution.

BIM Management and Coordination for Project Owners

Limsen Consulting is a Lisbon-based BIM consultancy that provides support to Project Owners who want to contract BIM projects but do not have the necessary internal resources to manage the BIM requirements and audit the information delivered. The added value of BIM is already evident for designers and contractors, and they are increasingly known by Owners. In recent years, the number of developers interested in this methodology for the development of their work has increased. Faced with the most common problems in the construction industry, such as time and budget overruns, most of Limsen's customers look to BIM for the answer to these problems. Developing projects in BIM does help all parties foresee problems and manage them more efficiently. However, it is necessary to make customers aware of the importance of setting up realistic coordination times between disciplines, since the models uncover most coordination problems that are usually only found in the construction phase.
