Success Story

“Collaborative design on a global scale” – How Cadline and Autodesk software supported Broadway Malyan

“Collaborative design on a global scale” – How Cadline and Autodesk software supported Broadway Malyan

Customer challenge

Broadway Malyan is a forward-thinking global architecture and design practice with around ten design studios worldwide, and more than 300 employees in total. It has worked with Cadline for two decades, and over the years the relationship has transformed into a partnership focused on the two companies working collaboratively together to achieve common goals.

The practice has fully integrated Autodesk AutoCAD into their design process and has deployed the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection to give access to the full suite of design tools. As BIM has extended its reach into the world of Architecture, Broadway Malyan increasingly engaged with model-based design using Autodesk® Revit®, Autodesk Civil 3D®, Autodesk Navisworks® and Autodesk 3ds Max.

The team at Broadway Malyan aimed to further globalize its digital delivery process in the shape of building information modelling (BIM) and engaged us to identify the systems, processes and skills it needed to put in place.

Project goals

The team joined forces with our industry specialists to work together on a series of digital process reviews. The objective was to focus on areas where the relationship could be strengthened and evaluate ways we could ensure it was delivering everything Broadway Malyan needed. Digital process reviews were held in key Broadway Malyan studios globally - from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, Singapore, Shanghai, Lisbon, and the UK.

Solution

We worked with Broadway Malyan to run separate workshops at these sites for teams of architects, interior designers and landscapers. Each workshop focused on how Broadway Malyan typically ran projects at each site, all the way through conceptual and detailed design to what is ultimately handed over to a customer. It sought to find out what was working well, where Broadway Malyan thought it was today, what its objectives were, and whether they aligned with the corporate vision.

Business outcome

This process revealed the need for a common data environment (CDE). It also highlighted a requirement for better coordination and clash checking tools along with the need for a cloud-based central library delivering standardised quality checked model components. In response to the findings and in conjunction with Cadline, Broadway Malyan implemented Autodesk BIM 360 as a CDE, purchased licenses of Autodesk Navisworks and increased the usage of model-based design across Broadway Malyan’s studios. It also brought in Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro for the architectural practice to help deliver collaborative global projects.

Conclusion

We have supported Broadway Malyan in their transition from a 2D design world to a 3D-focused one. We have also helped to introduce the practice to more collaborative working models including helping migrate it to a CDE, where all information needed for an architectural project can be held in one place. With Cadline’s help, Broadway Malyan now uses this environment as a central data repository using Autodesk Docs and Autodesk BIM 360 to facilitate the collaboration.


Drawing on the expertise of Cadline and the rich functionality of the Autodesk software, Broadway Malyan has already achieved collaborative architectural design on a global scale. It is looking forward to extending these capabilities even further in the coming months and years.


Our relationship enables each studio to retain more knowledge and gain further support by working closely with Cadline specialists. “It is like having a library on tap,” said Arnott. “We now have experts on call, available whenever we need them”.

Optimising Visual Project Planning with Navisworks

Yara Technology and Projects (YTP) main focus is to develop Yara operations, support Yara's vision to feed the world and deliver roadmaps and projects towards climate-neutral solutions. With so many projects being worldwide, Yara needed to evaluate constructability issues that may arise during projects. Yara use Microsoft Project and Primavera to set up project schedules, material availability and often face the challenge of getting the required tools to remote locations.

Driving Innovation in Design and Engineering

Warren Services is a Norfolk-based family-run engineering and manufacturing business, employing 115 people across two sites. Its capabilities extend from dynamic head water jet® cutting; EDM wire eroding and laser profiling to computer numerical control (CNC) milling and turning, through fabrication and finishing and electrical assembly and testing. Warren Services is proud of its record of providing high-quality manufacturing of components and mechanical/electrical sub-assemblies to agreed schedules, offering turnkey solutions in engineering and design. Autodesk software has long played a key role in its processes and workflows. The company initially took the decision to self-learn and implement the technology itself, using its own internal resource but, over time, ongoing engagement with Autodesk Solution Provider, Cadline, has paid dividends in ensuring Warren Services gains optimum value from its investment.
