A MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PROJECT OFFICE
Taking the project from conceptualized to operational
LACK OF REVIT EXPERIENCE IS THE PROBLEM
With the task of designing a pipe network in Revit (3D), the client approached us.
Previously, this company had no experience with this kind of projects: Specialists developed such projects in AutoCAD (2D), so we immediately received drawings in dwg and pdf formats.
While working on the project, several problems arose which made it necessary to quickly find new solutions:
First, there was a lack of some initial data, in particular profiles of the routes, information on the filling of the wells and collectors;
Secondly, it was initially assumed that we would have at our disposal a working script that would facilitate our work and would automatically arrange the wells on the basis of a table of coordinates from the designer. However, the script did not work, and errors were found in it;
Third, we were given families to work with, which did not always work properly.
THE MAIN GOAL OF THE PROJECT: SUPPORT FOR THE CUSTOMER'S RETENTION OF THE PROJECT
Scripts and families were being developed as the client planned to move to Revit.
We used our own project to test the customer’s developments.
WE DIDN'T JUST HIRE MODELERS. WE HIRED SPECIALISTS FOR THIS PROJECT
The optimal solution was to arrange the wells manually after identifying the script error.
We chose the interaction option, where our specialists returned all incorrect families with comments on the necessary adjustments, in order to finalize the families with the client.
Effective communication is built in
Optimized workflow from the start
Timely receipt of expert review comments
Our team was able to help the customer solve a difficult situation: He did not have the competent specialists available to realize the project he had taken on.
THE MODEL IS SUCCESSFULLY LIFTED ACCORDING TO THE DRAWINGS AND THE AGREED UPON DEADLINES ARE MET
In order to keep the project on track, our team of specialized specialists was invited to become a contractor. It was not our first experience with this company in other projects.
As a result, the client retained the project and, thanks to the cooperation with our team, gained useful experience in this area: we tested this working format, gave feedback, which the client could use to improve the working processes in their organization.
In the end, our team successfully created the NVC model based on the designs, processed all comments, resolved conflicts and met the agreed timeline — 80 work days.
