| Business Need |
“For the sake
of collaboration within the company, we wanted to use Revit for precast
projects. But we were struggling with a great deal of manual work, especially for
creating shop drawings from the models,” notes Henrik
Thingbø, a structural engineer at Norconsult. The solution had to automate the creation of shop
drawings that were in line with Norconsult’s own preferences and standards. It
also had to be user-friendly enough for use by any team member without need for
special training. |
This South Australian MEP contractor bought AGACAD’s Smart Hangers to do clash-free construction grade design work.

| Client Profile |  Smith brothers Group is one of South Australia’s largest plumbing and pipeline contractors. Innovation is key in its resolve to be No. 1 for service. That’s why BIM technologies are at the heart of the group’s design and engineering work. |
| Business Need | New projects required Smith brothers Group to place seismic hangers on pipework with construction grade (LOD 400) detail. They needed to place complex equipment in very limited overhead spaces and ensure a clash-free model. The solution had to be compatible with Autodesk® Revit® and support the incorporation of Trimble points for on-site positioning and layout. And the company always prefers innovative solutions that offer a competitive edge. |

| Client Profile | JPS-Konsult AB, based in Vrigstad, Sweden, specializes in the design of precast concrete and wood-frame buildings, mainly for residential use. |
| Business Need | While upgrading itself from 2D to 3D design, to be more modern and competitive in the market, JPS-Konsult ran into productivity issues with its new Autodesk® Revit® software. Revit required so much time-consuming manual work that the company was tempted to go back to AutoCAD®. Svensson says he did a major search and concluded that AGACAD had the most powerful solutions for his needs. It’s also the only one with a software portfolio broad enough to support both wood and concrete projects. |
