Russell and Yelland's Autodesk Implementation

How BIM Changed Russel and Yelland's Workflow

  • Client: Russell and Yelland

  • Location: Unley, South Australia

  • Industry: Architecture Engineering and Construction

  • Solutions: Revit, Recap, Navisworks

Services Provided

Russell and Yelland Architects adopted BIM workflows using Autodesk Revit, Recap, and Navisworks, alongside Enscape and Revizto, to optimize design and construction.

Customer Challenge

Maximising the gym’s footprint without negatively impacting the vital pedestrian thoroughfare proved challenging for the team at Russell and Yelland.

Project Goals

Prior to using BIM, Russell and Yelland re-examined their business and workflows. They reviewed a number of projects – some that worked and some that didn’t. They were determined to improve, find a new direction, and make the introduction of BIM successful.

Solutions

The solution was for the gym’s main student entry to present as destination on the pathway; the public entry’s hooded twin. Running BIM successfully and consistently across a variety of project types still has a way to go.

Business Outcomes

The project team worked in a collaborative manner under a managing contractor procurement model. Incorporating the builders’ input early in the project proved beneficial to cost and schedule saving weeks of labour on site. Carefully administered, Caleruega Hall was delivered on time and under budget.

Conclusion

The project team was empowered with more information and could make better choices. This information flow ensured all stakeholders were involved in decision making.

The constant flow of information, across the team from design, through manufacture into construction, meant the design process didn’t need to stop at the commencement of construction.
