Success Story

Revit Model Consulting

Revit Model Consulting

Customer challenge

George Vaeth and Associates (GVA) had a contract with a customer to do a building model using Revit. The customer asked GVA to make significant modifications to the building within a tight timeframe. GVA reached out to CADD Microsystems seeking assistance with making the modifications to ensure they would be completed by the deadline.

Project goals

The most important aspect of this project was to be able to complete the building modifications within the required deadline and budget.  It was important to not have to allocate more time and money towards completing the model. Ownership was originally worried about hiring an hourly consultant, because the budget did not allow for them to run out of hours before completing the project.

Solution

Our consultants were able to work directly with the team at GVA and assist with the major modifications which included adding additional stories to the building in the middle of the model.  Due to the extensive knowledge of Revit that our team of consultants have from years of experience, they were able to provide them with the expertise to get the model completed in a faster timeframe than they could have done on their own.

Business outcome

CADD was able to complete the project with additional hours still available for GVA to use.  Our team was also able to assist with other aspects of the project that were not originally a part of the scoped work.  This allowed GVA to complete the full project for the customer within the required time and budget for their customer.

Conclusion

GVA was so thrilled with the results of this project that they extended their consulting contract with CADD.  CADD Microsystems and GVA have had a continued partnership since this first project.  GVA works closely with our consultants, having them assist with other projects and Revit models as necessary.

Autodesk Build Onboarding

Ferguson Enterprises is a large wholesale supplier of commercial and residential plumbing services located in Newport News, Virginia. Their facilities management group was expanding, and their facility manager came across a challenge. A small team within their group was working with a general contractor on a project, who was using the Autodesk software PlanGrid. The team had not used PlanGrid before and did not have access to the software.


Transitioning to Autodesk Build to Increase Communication and Visibility

InstallNET provides professional project management services for the installation of office furniture across the United States and Canada. InstallNET has used PlanGrid for quality reporting and project management. Their subscription to PlanGrid was expiring, and they wanted to explore solutions that could provide more robust capabilities for issues management and improve their overall workflow and efficiency.


Transitioning to Autodesk Build

A Morton Thomas & Associates (AMT) is a multidisciplinary engineering and design consultancy headquartered in Rockville, MD, with 20 offices throughout the eastern US. AMT holds contracts with multiple states in the Mid-Atlantic region to provide construction engineering inspection and construction management of highway construction projects for each state’s respective Department of Transportation. As part of their contract requirements for their Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) contract, AMT had standardized on Autodesk PlanGrid for project and field management. When their current PlanGrid contract was up for renewal, AMT worked closely with CADD Microsystems and Autodesk to ensure that they procured the correct solution to meet their current project requirements and to ensure they had the right solution for the future, as they anticipate the potential future contract requirement changes with their DOT clients.
