SUCCESS STORY

Dvele Transitions to AEC Collection and BIM 360 with help from IMAGINiT

Customer Challenge

To support its team of architectural designers, interior designers, and engineers as they strive to design and build homes to the highest standards in the least amount of time, Dvele decided to make the move from its 2D CAD program to Autodesk Revit 3D software. After a referral from an Autodesk Construction Manager, IMAGINiT reached out to Kurt Goodjohn, Dvele Chief Executive Officer, and Kris Goodjohn, Dvele Chief Product Officer, to talk about their needs and innovative Autodesk solutions.

Project Goals

“Our goal was to transition our design team to the new software in a way that would not only teach them how to use it, but also clearly demonstrate the software’s value to them, our clients, and our company,” said Kurt, “For us, this meant in-person training with hands-on exercises based on real-world examples delivered by instructors with exceptional knowledge-transfer experience.”

Solution

Dvele worked with IMAGINiT to develop a training program in which Canadian- and U.S.-based Dvele designers and engineers would meet at the IMAGINiT mobile training lab set up at Dvele’s Southern California location. Over a course of 14 months, 24 Dvele designers and engineers attended IMAGINiT’s training classes to get them up-to-speed on the features and functions of the Autodesk software for their environment.

Business Outcome

“Our team included some people who had no knowledge of Revit, some who had taught themselves how to use the software, and some who had extensive experience,” said Kurt. “By attending the same classes, they got on the same page while learning proper business workflows and best practices. This consistent knowledge has helped them work together more efficiently, which has enhanced both employee and customer satisfaction.”

Conclusion

“Our engagement with IMAGINiT has contributed to our team’s ability to stay focused on meeting our customers’ needs today and preparing for projects in the future,” said Kurt.
