Success Story
Boustead had identified the value and benefits of implementing new digital technologies in the company. This led to old work processes being replaced by more productive and efficient work processes. The construction and engineering industry is notoriously well known for its labour intensive and siloed based working arrangement. Adoption of digital processes would allow Boustead to transition from paper-based processes to digitally-based mobile applications, where real-time data can be gathered from construction/buildings projects and reviewed by relevant parties.
The advent of COVID19 also presented many issues for collaboration. Face-to-face meetings and technical-visual presentations were vulnerable to restrictions, and reliance on traditional forms of collaboration hindered efficiency and safety.
Therefore, a new set of cloud-based, interconnected solutions were needed.
Boustead’s main goals were to enhance the IDD capabilities and digital workflow. Next would be fostering a culture of adopting innovative technology and agility within the organization. Lastly, implementing the use of BIM, digital modelling throughout the project lifecycle, and regulating construction progress and updates.
To take full advantage of the cloud and BIM services offered by Autodesk, Boustead employed Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro as a digital platform to collaborate with and coordinate different teams, as well as Revit for collaborating on Asset Information Requirements data in BIM. By adopting Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro and with the access to Docs, Boustead could host online I.C.E and technical meetings, securing collaboration against heavy disruptions during the COVID19 period and improving project efficiency.
The move to Integrated Digital Delivery and cloud-based solutions improved business outcomes by enabling integrated work processes and connecting with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. This stood to improve customer relations and improve the quality of project deliverables. In terms of reducing costs, access to files on the cloud meant different teams could now collaborate regardless of location, cutting the cost of time spent waiting for documents and revisions. Disruptions to workflows are lessened and safety improved, reducing overall project completion time compared to traditional processes.
The transition to digital BIM, IDD and cloud-based solutions has enabled Boustead’s project process to be more efficient, cost-effective, safe, and resilient to disruption. The ability for multiple teams to collaborate through Autodesk’s interconnected solutions without delay or location restrictions is vital to the advancement of the construction process. The increased ease of collaboration between the service provider and client throughout the project lifecycle will allow Boustead to not only provide a successful service but a bespoke one, adding value and fostering relationships with their customers.
