Transforming Construction: The Tech Revolution with ACC Build, BIM, and Revit

by Jonathan George, P.E., Project Engineer / Structural Engineering Manager

In the ever-evolving landscape of architecture and engineering, Turner Group stands out for its proficient utilization of the latest cutting-edge technology. At the core of this technological transformation are Autodesk ACC Build, BIM, Revit, and Navisworks – tools that redefine the efficiency of project execution. ACC Build’s cloud-based modeling software serves as the cornerstone, enabling seamless collaboration across architectural, engineering, and construction teams nationwide and promoting a unified design approach that exceeds geographical boundaries.

The real-time integration capabilities of these tools bring a precision that aligns the model closely with construction requirements, minimizing field issues and serving as a time and budget-saving measure. In the face of fast-paced, deadline-driven challenges, these technologies provide adaptability and instant communication, allowing for on-the-spot addressing of changes and efficient problem-solving. The cloud-based nature of ACC Build introduces a new level of efficiency in project management, particularly beneficial for larger projects, simplifying workflows and enhancing overall project efficiency.

Turner Group’s implementation of ACC Build, BIM, Revit, and Navisworks represents a tech-driven transformation, setting new standards for efficiency, collaboration, and project success in architecture and engineering. The combination of Revit with ACC Build and 3D Navisworks offers a powerful solution for clash detection, identifying construction problems in advance and ensuring a smoother construction process. Navisworks’ Virtual Design Construction (VDC) component further enhances efficiency, with a remarkable 95% reduction in construction problems. This comprehensive approach, applied across the team, not only saves time and money but also fosters a harmonious team dynamic vital for successful project delivery.

In essence, Turner Group’s embrace of these collaborative tools represents a tech-driven transformation, setting new standards for efficiency, collaboration, and project success in the realm of architecture and engineering.
