The Kingfish Company is a vertically integrated and technology-driven aquaculture leader in the sustainable production of premium marine seafood. As a designer, builder, and operator of state-of-the-art facilities, leveraging Autodesk Revit and other BIM technology tools has improved the workflow between designers and the construction arm. The Kingfish Company was looking to improve the process in the areas of project and file management.
Project Goals
The Kingfish Company is preparing to hire a large number of contractors to develop their Maine facilities. This endeavor will require significant coordination from design to construction to perform a flawless project execution at no excess in budget and project delay. The Kingfish Company needs to overcome issues such as lack of familiarity with the tool by the construction team and adapting to a new folder structure for cloud files.
Solution
The Kingfish Company has been able to overcome the challenges by training team members on the usage and implementation on a day-to-day basis of Autodesk Build/BIM 360 Build. By optimizing the file structure, and continuing to train construction staff on important aspects of the process such as file access, notifications management for RFI’s and issues management, The Kingfish Company is well on its way to achieving its long-term vision: to have all internal stakeholders at The Kingfish Company and external consultants become acquainted with BIM and cloud technologies, from the workflow to the overall business value of full BIM enablement.
Business Outcome
By acquiring and implementing Autodesk Build/BIM 360 Build’s project and file management solutions, the company has improved the collaboration workflow between the field and the office. While benefits are difficult to quantify, The Kingfish Company is reporting less loss of data which is leading to a much smoother workflow between stakeholders.
Conclusion
The Kingfish Company uses Autodesk software and works closely with Microsol Resources for insights, licenses, and technical support. Autodesk Build/BIM 360 Build are proving to be great tools for Kingfish, and expect that the benefits will continue to increase as they implement more of its functionality into our daily workflows.
Arora Engineersis a revolutionary firm that delivers MEP design and pre-construction services by emphasizing the technology and processes that connect systems infrastructure, improve operations and longevity and make life safer and easier for those who use it. In this capacity, Arora Engineers was asked to provide its services for the Expansion and Renovation of the JFK Airport Terminal 8 project. To do this, Arora planned on using Autodesk Revit and other BIM technology tools, but it was also looking to optimize the process of collaborating with the other trades involved in the project.
Project Goals
Arora Engineers needed to find a tool that enabled it to work collaboratively with architects, builders, and other trades. It needed to be able to allow for the resolution of RFI’s, issues, and clash detection. The ideal solution would be inexpensive, as there was no additional funding for it, and be cloud-based so as to not require investment in any additional hardware technology. Additionally, it had to be easy to learn and use, as there was no appetite from the team for a steep learning curve.
Solution
Arora Engineers explored the feature set of Autodesk Docs and found that it works seamlessly with Revit and AutoCAD, the two main design tools used in the project. Arora Engineers found that Autodesk Docs’ cloud-based environment allowed the entire team to manage its files without making any significant changes to the project’s structure. Using Autodesk Docs allowed the company to quickly resolve RFI’s and issues. It was the perfect technological solution to address the workflow needs of the project.
Rethinking Infrastructure
Arora Engineers believe infrastructure needs to do far more than provide a seamless, safe, sustainable, and comfortable environment. Their goal is to maximize its role, impact, and value through innovative engineering design and highly intelligent solutions that not only meet operational needs but forward business objectives.
Business Outcome
By implementing Autodesk Docs’ project and file management solutions, the company was able to resolve the project’s challenges more quickly and efficiently, in collaboration with all other trades. This was nearly invaluable for such an aggressive design-build project schedule that seems to be more the rule than the exception these days.
Conclusion
Arora Engineers uses Autodesk software and works closely with Microsol Resources for insights, licenses, and technical support. Autodesk Docs, AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, and Dynamo proved to be ideal tools for Arora Engineers. Autodesk Docs is now used in several other projects where collaboration with other firms is essential.
