TNM Architecture Push AEC Design To The Next Level With Autodesk Software

TNM Architecture Push AEC Design To The Next Level With Autodesk Software

Customer challenge

Wolverhampton-based, TNM Architecture provides architectural, town planning, construction design and management, project management, and interior design services to commercial, educational, and residential customers both locally and throughout the UK. To carry out this work, TNM focused on using innovative technology to help deliver enhanced engagement with clients and a business advantage in a very competitive marketplace. TNM needed to work on a central model, and Autodesk BIM 360 was the perfect solution for this. It also helped them out with their BIM accreditation.

Project goals

TNM had one main goal: enable a more flexible, remote and collaborative working environment for their staff.

Solution

Following initial consultations to review business needs, Cadspec quickly set out to onboard and support the TNM team with their migration to the cloud utilising BIM 360 Collaborate and the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Collection from Autodesk. Nick Chapman, Director at TNM Architecture commented: "We are always looking to use innovative solutions where we can see a fit with our business needs and an opportunity to further improve the quality and efficiency of service we offer to our clients. Leveraging the latest Autodesk architectural design software helps us to achieve that goal."

Business outcome

Having fully migrated to the cloud, the team at TNM Architecture has found tremendous success in being able to work on a central model, collaboratively. TNM Architecture uses a wide range of Autodesk software solutions for architecture. It predominantly makes use of Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit as build packages, with around 75% of its building design work today carried out using the latter. TNM Architecture also makes growing use of the collaborative cloud-based tool, Autodesk BIM 360 Collaborate Pro, as its common data environment (CDE) and as a means of storing its models. It is a solution that supports real-time Revit cloud work-sharing and collaboration workflows while at the same time, helping TNM Architecture to improve productivity, reduce rework, and accelerate project delivery.

Conclusion

"TNM Architecture's proactive use of a cloud solution is key to their ongoing success. BIM 360 is the latest evolution of architectural and construction design and TNM Architecture has embraced it. They are able to collaborate through a shared cloud-based central mode, allowing for flexible anytime anywhere working. Looking ahead, I'm convinced TNM Architecture will continue to grasp the opportunity to innovate." Lee Valentine - Cadspec Ltd

Laser Wire Solutions uses Autodesk solutions to design bespoke machinery

With the growth of the business, accompanied by an influx of designers, an expanding product range, and a growing customer base, Laser Wire Solutions came to a crucial realisation. They recognised the necessity to transition to a system that could not only cater to the needs of designers but also accommodate other vital team members, spanning from order processing to the shop floor. In addition to this expanded accessibility, Laser Wire Solutions sought a solution capable of handling release management in a more sophisticated manner, along with the ability to effectively manage and track changes throughout the entirety of their operational process. This strategic shift in their approach aimed to address the challenges posed by their business's evolution and to foster enhanced efficiency and collaboration across the organization.

PreFab Lab creates a new vision of design quality with Fusion 360

The challenge faced by our customer was rooted in the desire to implement a unified system that could seamlessly span from the initial design phase through to the manufacturing stage. Their primary goal was to establish an integrated and cohesive process that would enhance efficiency and productivity at every step of the production cycle. This unified system was not only expected to streamline the design-to-manufacturing transition but also play a critical role in optimising nesting processes, a key component of their manufacturing operations. By unifying these aspects, the customer aimed to simplify their workflow, reduce potential bottlenecks, and ultimately achieve a more seamless and cost-effective approach to product development and production. This reflected their commitment to staying at the forefront of industry standards and innovation, ensuring that their products met the highest quality and efficiency standards.


Johnson Controls UK&I Push Their Business Forward with Connected Workflows

The team at Johnson Controls UK&I faced a challenge within their organisation as they grappled with disconnected workflows that spanned across various inter-disciplinary teams. This disconnection hindered the efficient operation of their business processes, creating bottlenecks and inefficiencies that needed immediate attention. To address this issue, the team had to embark on a journey to unify not only their workflows but also their templates and drawing processes. This unification effort required a comprehensive reevaluation of their existing systems and the implementation of a cohesive strategy to streamline operations and promote seamless collaboration among teams. In doing so, Johnson Controls UK&I aimed to enhance their overall productivity, reduce errors, and ultimately achieve a higher level of synergy among their diverse workforce.
