Richard Crookes cut variation review and resolution time in half
The owners of Richard Crookes Constructions hired an external expert to drive their digital transformation. BIM is a key area of focus for them with a goal of 95% BIM adoption over the next 5 years.
“Access to the model across the project team is a huge change. There is huge value.”
Business challenges
- Providing technology solutions to meet the various stages of clients and project teams
- Optimizing the benefits of BIM across the project team and phases
- Providing data for optimal use throughout operations and maintenance
- Educating internal and external team members on the use of digitization including BIM, to optimize project benefits
Results
- Flexible system configurable to client and project needs
- Connected BIM providing access to models without the need for special authoring or even viewing software
- Involvement and planning, using a project-wide platform from the very beginning of conceptual design
- There have been about 5% fewer RFIs and 3-5% fewer variations by using Aconex Connected BIM to bring the wider team, including the client into the model review cycles
- Variation review and resolution is about 50% faster due to the clear record of decisions and access to documentation
- The number of claims has been reduced an estimated 3-5% and the time spent on claim management has been reduced since it is fast and easy to access the full project history
- Aconex as a common data environment and tool for managing models, brings issues to the forefront early for fast resolution
