Chandos Construction Chooses IMAGINiT for Technology Solutions

Chandos Construction Chooses IMAGINiT for Technology Solutions

Customer challenge

Vince Plourd, National VDC Manager at Chandos said, “With more and more people joining our team with varying skill levels, we needed more than software. To ensure everyone had a strong knowledge of the software’s capability, we also needed training and support.” As a progressive general contractor, Chandos has always used the latest technologies, including 3D design, engineering, and construction software from Autodesk.

Project goals

Together with IMAGINiT Canada, Vince developed a plan that met the initial need of software and training, and then scheduled regular calls to discuss company developments, industry trends, and technology advancements.

Solution

“When we implement new software, we turn to IMAGINiT Canada for online training,” said Vince. “The small, interactive classes offer hands-on lessons based on real-world situations, and through desktop sharing, the instructors can quickly provide assistance and feedback,” said Vince.

Business outcome

"With IMAGINiT Canada helping us identify, implement, and use the latest technologies, we continue focus on delivering projects that enhance our solid reputation within the communities and the construction industry as a whole.”

Conclusion

Over the years, the Chandos design team has grown, and Chandos has grown its relationship with IMAGINiT to include more Autodesk software, other software, and online training. IMAGINiT Canada has helped ensure their teams have the right tools and processes for their projects. Whether it's increased collaboration, using point clouds, or generating immersive visuals.

C2AE Trusts IMAGINiT with BIM Management Services

For several years, the Building division within C2AE successfully followed a BIM-management-by-committee approach to making decisions on procedures, standards, and best practices. The company’s designers and engineers would meet in person or online, discuss the options, and determine next steps. As the company’s team grew in size and experience level, coming to a consensus became more difficult. C2AE recognized the need to select one person to be the point person responsible for gathering and evaluating all the opinions and deciding which to select and implement.


Swinterton Delivers Value and Achieves ROI with Leica RTC360 Scanner

When renovating buildings, Swinerton starts with as-built measurements provided by clients. Because those drawings rarely include updates, Swinerton relied on their architects to manually measure spaces, put those measurements into Autodesk Revit, and provide PDFs of the information to the designers, who used them as the starting point for renovations. Swinerton started getting laser scans of structures at the beginning of renovation projects using external companies to perform the scanning. “The laser scanners led to great improvements,” said Matt Zwetzig, VD&C Manager, Swinerton. “Measurements were gathered in a fraction of the time, teams knew they were working with accurate information, plans were created faster, correct parts were ordered the first time, and the parts fit as expected.” With business growing and timelines shortening, Matt determined it was time to compare costs for hiring external providers versus purchasing a scanner and completing the work in house.

Autodesk connected Massilly North America with IMAGINiT, and the IMAGINiT PLM team answered questions on specific issues, consulted on workflow improvements, and shared best practices.
