At Oosumi Construction Co., Ltd., we would like to introduce a case where productivity and quality improved through highly consistent design just one year after the introduction of the architectural BIM software "Solibri." The company implemented this software with the aim of enhancing the consistency of drawings. By utilizing the software for interference checks, along with traditional visual checks, we aimed to improve the quality of the drawings. Everyone, including partner companies and construction staff, felt the importance of front-loading. 【Benefits Experienced】 ■ Accessible to everyone via the free viewer "Solibri Anywhere" ■ Clear instructions through marking on the BIM ■ User-friendly UI/UX that encourages further use of BIM *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce examples of applying architectural BIM "Archicad" to the creation of fixtures and furniture. From the upstream conceptual stage, we can visualize and think through specific details together with designers, resulting in designs that leverage the skills of craftsmen. As a result, the number of modifications during manufacturing has decreased, and the speed to completion has significantly increased. 【Case Overview】 ■ Creating construction drawings for furniture and fixtures using existing beam tools ■ Linking with external software to create photo-realistic images *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mine Design Co., Ltd. In a collaborative project with the Architecture Bureau, we received the challenge of quickly creating a 3D model from survey data to effectively communicate the completed image of road improvements to stakeholders, including residents. During the production process, we used BIMx as a viewer for confirming the 3D model, allowing the person in charge to walk through the 3D space for adjustments. Ultimately, we imported the data from this software into Unreal Engine to create a more realistic representation and built a system that incorporated a walkthrough feature. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenge - While production work for 3D models and image perspectives was being done from 2D design data, it was time-consuming and did not convey the completed image for specific locations. ■Result - The ability to switch between drone views and walk mode made it easier to understand. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Mabuchi Construction Co., Ltd. Until now, as long as there were no significant losses and the project was completed within the schedule, the on-site matters were left to the site engineers, and there was no verification of whether that was the best approach. However, by using BIM, it becomes possible to hand over conditions that are as close to optimal as possible to the site. 【Initiatives of the Design Department】 ■ Consideration of the benefits of creating design and structural models in a single file - To enhance the value of BIM, we presented the outcomes of BIM at an in-house technical presentation. - As BIM technology improved, the content of the presentations also became more advanced, and it gradually became recognized that we could create drawings and calculate quantities. - By inputting structural slits, which were previously represented only by symbols, as models, we can calculate quantities during the estimation phase. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of architectural BIM "Archicad" at Sato Architectural Structural Design Office, LLC. In traditional structural design, multiple drawings such as floor plans, framing plans, and detail drawings were interrelated, requiring the manipulation of separate files for each. By introducing BIM, any corrections made in one place are generally reflected in all drawings, eliminating discrepancies and ensuring consistency. 【Case Overview】 ■ Before Implementation - There were cases where consistency was lacking, and mistakes were likely to occur during the revision process. ■ After Implementation - The preparation of documents for building permit applications became about 1.5 times faster, reducing the workload and providing a sense of improved efficiency and labor-saving. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a design company and a construction company, who met for the first time, collaborated effectively using BIM in a complex public project. This complicated site involved the renovation of an existing building and the expansion of a new school building, with a total of nine companies participating. Aruku Design Office and Ogawa Industry worked together, transcending differences in companies and positions, with one responsible for design and the other for construction. By using a common BIM model, we achieved results that allowed for faster work and reduced costs. 【Case Overview】 - Features such as automatic quantity takeoff from 3D models and automatic generation of various construction drawings lead to a significant increase in productivity. - By conducting various preliminary studies quickly, it becomes possible to reduce rework on-site and material waste. - Using Archicad as a tool for common understanding among all stakeholders regarding challenges and situations is effective for smoothly advancing the construction process. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce a case study on the implementation of BIM for reskilling to build a long-term career at Life Jam Co., Ltd., a first-class architectural design office. The company adopted "Archicad" in December 2019. Considering the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's promotion of BIM and the future career advancement of those involved in design, they decided to implement BIM, believing that BIM skills would become essential. After the introduction of BIM, they have achieved further operational efficiency and have successfully secured large projects that they could not participate in before. [Case Overview] - After the introduction of BIM, significant reductions in time and costs for proposal preparation. - Clearer roles for each staff member improved performance, leading to smoother collaboration as if passing a baton. - A seamless workflow from perspective creation to detailed design was realized. - As floor plans were drawn, 3D models were simultaneously created, allowing for a cohesive mental image of the building and facilitating information sharing. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our architectural BIM "Archicad" is utilized at Ito Kizaburo Architectural Institute Co., Ltd. This software was developed for architects, making it intuitive and easy to use. With the concept of OPENBIM, it also allows for smooth collaboration with other software necessary for architecture. Even complex designs with irregularities have become easier to understand and design using BIM. 【Case Overview】 - Creating floor plans was easier than drawing lines one by one in 2D CAD. - By creating BIMx and animations from the building model designed in BIM, we were able to delight our clients during presentations and realize the necessity for this in the future. - With the increasing demand for videos lately, Archicad allows for easy video creation by exporting models generated from drawings to Twinmotion. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

At Takato Tamagami Design, we utilize "Archicad" as a tool to freely traverse between drawings and models, allowing us to depict complex and dynamic spaces. The company has long felt limited by the method of drawing complex forms by manually creating lines for floor plans, elevations, and sections one by one. With the introduction of this software, the process of creating drawings has become significantly easier. By creating a 3D model from the start, the drawings are automatically generated in the background, making it feel like the task is completed without much effort. [Case Overview] ■ Before Implementation - We often displayed multiple 3D perspectives on-site and wrote explanations, which made it difficult to capture the three-dimensional aspect. ■ After Implementation - Being able to view from various angles and cut sections has deepened understanding. - People on-site have commented that "it's convenient to view on an iPad." *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
