Success Story

Construction of New Chris Hani Village Office Park

Construction of New Chris Hani Village Office Park

Customer challenge

CSE Consulting identified the following challenges: 1) Reduced project timelines 2) Quick and accurate coordination between disciplines with issues identified and resolved efficiently 3) Changes to the structure addressed and implemented quickly and efficiently 4) Design and modeling of the structure, resulting in quicker workflows 5) Less staff required 6) More informed decision making

Project goals

CSE Consulting identified the project goals: 1) Deploy efficient software making repetitive tasks effortless (customizable tools like Dynamo and Revit speed up the process) 2) Solve complex problems with 3D modeling (undetected issues are identified and solved, especially where BIM is used) 3) Enable Designers with more efficient design and construction documentation, resulting in reduced timeframes and less errors 4) Improve presentations to clients and access to structural quantities

Solution

1) Modeling of all structural elements. Software is user-friendly and works logically. Complex structures can be modeled with foundational concepts. 2) Modeling rebar reduces additional/separate files, reducing risk. Problem areas are quickly identified and resolved. Better presentation reduces construction errors. 3) Steel connections in one BIM model eases coordination and clash detection. Improved solutions to complex connections with a superior presentation to all parties.

Business outcome

Many design options are now assessed depending on the project-specific criteria (aesthetics, costs, constructability), resulting in optimal designs. Local Solution Providers like Prokon are invaluable. The team is only a call away, with hands-on assistance. Problems are quickly investigated, and a team of experts can custom-design a solution. Product updates and features are customer-driven, ensuring relevant and useful software. Project revisions now seem effortless (90% time savings).

Conclusion

Once you've experienced BIM, there's no turning back. Everything is better, faster, efficient and fun! Complex problem solving and revisions are implemented quickly and efficiently and knock-on effects quickly identified. Teams are much more efficient, agile and productive. Any information is only a few clicks away. Two-way communication between client and provider/developer makes for the best possible solution for all parties. Software is continuously developed with the client's needs in mind.

More success stories

Improved Productivity and Communication between Design Office and on Site for VKE Consulting with Autodesk Solutions for Civil Infrastructure

VKE Namibia wanted to improve on a few items from various previous projects, and the lesson learned: VKE wanted to move from a time consuming and slow process to seamless and efficient design methods used by their Engineers and Designers. The disconnection between Design office and Site Office/Manager caused regular mistakes and delays on-site due to misinterpretation or outdated information and drawings. VKE also wanted to reduce costly delays and rework for Design validation and checking.
