The Brigade Group, a leading property developer in India, wanted to reduce the turnaround time for commercial testfits significantly. To do this, they realised that the client-facing sales team had to be empowered to make minor design changes without the intervention of the design team to speed up decision-making. 

The Client
The Brigade Group is one of the largest property developers in India, with well over 70 million sqft of developed space across the country. Their portfolio boasts developments across diverse property segments, including commercial, residential, retail and hospitality. They recently launched their own co-working brand 'BuzzWorks' with a portfolio of over 5 million sqft.

Tobishima Corporation

Civil engineering and building construction firm

Tobishima Corporation had to reorganize management resources to deal with rising IT costs due to BIM implementation. After evaluating various CAD products, considering cost, operability, installations by other companies in the same industry, and potential, Tobishima switched from its existing 2D CAD to a different, but highly compatible solution: ARES CAD software.

Taisei Corporation

TAISEI Corporation is one of the “Big 5” construction groups in Japan, with 8,572 employees as of March 2021. Technical drawings are required on construction sites, and a company as big as TAISEI uses more than most. Such drawings are created at the office by the design teams, and keep evolving during the project. Construction workers depend on a constant flow of drawings because they need to keep up with frequent design updates. In addition, they need a way to share feedback from the field with the design teams — which is ideally done within the drawings themselves. Centralizing files in the cloud enables users to circulate drawing updates in real time. But in TAISEI’s case, the challenge is also to deploy a Mobile CAD solution to the thousands of iPads used in the field, without compromising on productivity and security.

Franz Nüsing GmbH & Co KG

Nüsing designs and creates custom mobile walls, providing flexible room separation for any requirement. 

Franz Nüsing GmbH & Co KG, founded in 1878, is a world leader in movable wall technology, including mobile partitions, glass walls, and folding walls. These products are frequently customized to meet specific technical requirements. Nüsing uses ARES CAD software to produce the technical drawings that document its projects. The design is facilitated by an application developed by Nüsing and running on top of ARES Commander, named Nüsing CAD, which assists technicians with parametric components that can be inserted in the drawings. The Nüsing team can also use ARES Kudo to access drawings online, and easily share them with customers and other external users.

Keßler Solutions

As a provider of facility management solutions, Keßler Solutions has depended on the integration of CAD drawings and databases for more than 20 years. CAD plans are linked to databases and processes in FAMOS, Keßler’s GEFMA-certified computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, by ARES Commander. This allows for bidirectional data sharing, informative visuals, excellent data quality, and FM process integration.

Graebert and Keßler are collaborating to expand this technology with strong, market-oriented CAD solutions. The Web-CAD, an integrated CAD core for the FAMOS WebPortal from Keßler, was built on the basis of ARES Kudo in a relatively short development period. This means that a CAD viewer is now available for users working on mobile devices, enabling them to work as they normally do, without having to learn anything new. This makes it easier to integrate CAD data into the database — for example, by comparing different planning stages on the construction site. The Web-CAD is ideal for everyday usage, such as on building sites (construction progress/status documentation) or in facility management procedures (occupation, relocation, inventory, events).

CADflow for ARES® is an add-on that synchronizes data between drawings and the FAMOS database.

ARES Kudo enables users to access, create, and modify DWG files stored in popular cloud storage services such as Google Drive®, Box®, Dropbox®, and OneDrive®.

Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel used Revit for Design Authoring, Navisworks for collaboration and STR Vision for bill of quantities. The renovation of Enel’s headquarters, located on Viale Regina Margherita in Rome, has been designed to increase personal wellbeing through the provision of modern, comfortable workspaces conceived around the concept of more agile organization. The lighting and air conditioning system will ensure the utmost comfort while the distribution of the rooms will alternate working environments with green indoor and outdoor spaces and areas devoted to mental and physical wellbeing. The building will also feature additional employee wellness facilities, with the existing crèche, canteen and auditorium, all complemented by a new gym. The building’s sustainability and comfort will be assessed by external international bodies, with the aim of achieving the LEED and WELL certifications at Gold level.

Reducing Rework and Increasing Efficiency with Multi-Trade Layout

Dusty Robotics' FieldPrinter automates the transfer of BIM/CAD drawings to construction-site floors with guaranteed accuracy in a fraction of the time it takes to do traditional layout. The FieldPrinter eliminates delays and minimizes rework by using coordinated models to print multiple CAD layers in a single pass, compressing schedules and enabling all trades to build off of the latest drawings. And, with multiple color and line style options, Dusty's FieldPrinter ensures the complete file is printed, giving clear instructions to the field team.
Guaranteed accuracy to the digital model gives builders confidence that what has been designed is what is being built

How Readie Construction Limited are saving over £15,000 every week

innDex was born out of the frustrations of two friends, both civil engineers. Having experienced a number of fragmented processes, they put their heads together and started mapping out a better vision for the challenges modern construction delivery brings.

Starting with site inductions, an important first step for all workforce starting on a project. This ties into access control: geo fencing through to physical turnstiles! On top of this, innDex can be used for RAMs, Toolbox talks, progress reporting, inspections, asset management and much more!

The Principal Contractor gets full visibility over their project teams and ensures compliance. All on site activities which are traditionally paper based can be completed through the innDex app - this gives real time project monitoring and a paperless site.

Subcontractors reap the benefits of having digital tools to keep them compliant, improve productivity, and save money. Digital allocations sheets, progress reporting and RAMs all available on any device.

As a construction technology business, our aim is to make use of 96% of data which is currently seen as a byproduct and wasted in the construction industry, offering affordable innovation to an industry with minimal margin.

Our team of software engineers work around the clock, improving our existing systems and developing new, bespoke solutions to our clients unique needs.
We’re aware that the biggest asset in the construction industry is our people: that’s why we have developed a range of tools to protect and ensure workforce wellbeing, from fatigue management to access to mental health services directly through the innDex app.

We become innovation partners with each and every one of our clients whilst offering unlimited access to each and every one of our tools.
innDex is a fast-growing construction technology company offering a growing suite of integrated software and hardware solutions through open API’s. Simply put, innDex is “Powerful ConTech made easy!
