Success Story
The 600 Building, an iconic 1960s office building in Corpus Christi, Texas, presented several unique challenges as it underwent a comprehensive modernization and transformation into a contemporary mixed-use, multi-family development. One of the most prominent challenges, according to Pinnacle Infotech, was preserving the historical significance of the structure. The building had been designated historically significant by the Texas Historical Commission and the National Register of Historic Places due to its distinctive, eclectic modernist design. Therefore, any modifications had to align with strict historical preservation guidelines, necessitating meticulous attention to detail and authenticity in every aspect of the project. The interior required extensive modernization to meet contemporary standards and requirements. Furthermore, ensuring the new construction, renovation, and demolition phases were precisely coordinated presented a logistical challenge. In the face of these complexities, Pinnacle sought a solution that could not only meet the historical preservation requirements but also enhance overall project coordination and efficiency. It was clear that Autodesk solutions would play a vital role in navigating these challenges successfully and ensuring the project's long-term success.
The project aimed to bring the 1960s office building into the 21st century by comprehensively modernizing its interior and exterior while adapting it for mixed-use, multi-family purposes.
The client wanted to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the building, making it more appealing to residents while retaining its unique and eclectic modernist design.
Effective coordination of the new construction, renovation, and demolition phases was also required.
The project also aimed to bring the building up to current building codes, safety standards, and accessibility requirements.
The 600 Building project harnessed the power of Autodesk tools to overcome its challenges and realize its ambitious goals. Leveraging BIM 360 and Revit, the project team streamlined collaboration, reducing the risk of conflicts and ensuring well-coordinated and conflict-free models. The use of these tools greatly enhanced the richness of design awareness, enabling project stakeholders to visualize the building at any stage of its development. Additionally, the project benefited from improved cost estimation, as BOQs became precise and risk items were readily identifiable. Autodesk's solutions facilitated a comprehensive approach to project documentation, from pre-construction building models to on-site execution. The adoption of BIM 360 by us enabled faster synchronization and remote collaboration, which is also essential in a post-pandemic world. This, in turn, led to increased productivity, cost savings, and a transparent and secure data-sharing environment. As a result of using Autodesk's tools, we achieved the project’s historic preservation objectives, modernized the building while maintaining its original aesthetic, and ensured compliance with current codes.
The implementation of Autodesk tools brought about transformative business outcomes for the 600-building project. Notably, it led to substantial improvements in efficiency and productivity, reducing project timelines significantly. The use of BIM 360 facilitated remote collaboration while also providing a secure platform for data sharing. This led to substantial time savings in tracking and resolving project issues.
In conclusion, Autodesk has brought innovation, efficiency, and a sustainable future to this historical transformation of the 600-building by Pinnacle Infotech. Through a combination of advanced tools and collaborative workflows, Pinnacle successfully navigated complexities, realizing its goals and ensuring the project's enduring value. This project serves as a testament to the power of technology in preserving history while embracing the future.

Perfection Reached in UK Reynolds Building By Using Autodesk’s Products
CINFAB LLC has previously undertaken various building projects for the University of Kentucky Campus, underscoring the significance of their reputation in this venture. As one of the leading Sheet Metal subcontractors in the region, the client's stature is at stake for this particular project. Given that the building already exists, careful consideration of the specifications, materials, and insulation is essential, accounting for the building's current status.The primary challenge in this project revolves around coordination, compounded by the presence of extensive scan files serving as the architectural and structural 3D model. These files are voluminous and pose a considerable challenge in terms of handling. Difficulties have surfaced in aligning with the Engineer's design model or the 2D layout, particularly when considering intricate project specifications such as proper insulation, materials, fittings, accessories, and more.
