Business Need |
Due to the limits in Autodesk® Revit®, which the company uses, it was looking for ways to get added functionality and better efficiency, according to Awan Mikael, the proprietor. "I needed tools to help me frame and panel more quickly, create BIM models at a higher level of detail, and easily make production drawings for prefabricated items. Most important was putting an end to manual and repetitive tasks," he notes. |
Solution | A
search of the market brought A-BET to AGACAD, which made a very good first
impression in terms of service and competitive pricing. Looking closer,
AGACAD’s Metal Framing Wall+ and Floor+ solutions, along with its T4R Suite of productivity tools for Revit, seemed to be
just what the firm needed. The
software, which had a very user-friendly interface, could generate all types of
framing and panels using customizable saveable configurations. It could frame
complex openings, add structural materials, and generate pre-configured shop
drawings. Making changes was easy, with auto-updates of panels and shop
drawings and quick adjustment of panel numbers for sequencing. Creation and
customization of schedules was also simple. Mr Mikael
liked that AGACAD had a big selection of software for all kinds of BIM needs
with Revit (wood
framing, MEP and fire
safety
work, precast
concrete
and more), and was “clearly dedicated to
constantly developing its tools to meet evolving industry requirements.” |
Results | The new software boosted A-BET’s productivity immediately. “Framing and panelling became much faster with the AGACAD software, especially due to the ability to save configurations and the automated processes for creating shop drawings and schedules. I don’t have to do all the repetitive tasks anymore,” Mr Mikael says. ![]() “Now I can deliver BIM models, shop drawings and schedules in a shorter period. I can work much faster and because of that I can offer more competitive project pricing,” he adds. He rates AGACAD’s customer support “10 out of 10”, praising the company for its quick responses to queries as well as its frequent informative webinars and its collection of online videos with expert advice. |
